0:00 So, here's the evil part. When you conclude that the vast masses are actually basically simpletons who are very easily brainwashed and that this is the nature of society, but you understand the true nature of their humanity, which is that they're ultimately socialists who can live in a liberated society of plenty with no work through economic conditions, through social conditions, through cultural conditions, it doesn't matter what it is. You go to seize the means of production of them. Marx called this the inversion of praxis. Praxis is the activism you do in the world, so you change the world, and then the changes of the world brainwash people to think this is the way that it is now, and so they become the results of your activism. And so, what you do is you establish a state that claims to be democratic later.

0:50 Only the people who understand the theory get to be democratic now. Only the communists get to vote. Only the awakened socialists get to participate because everybody else is too stupid and they're brainwashed and they're trapped by false values and they're trapped in false consciousness, so they have to be excluded from the ability to vote in order to allow the democracy to be pure. And the goal is to set up a state, this explains the gulags, this explains the ideological remolding programs and prisons in Mao's China, this explains basically social emotional learning and all the educational manipulations that we have with our kids, education for social or for what? Uh global citizenship education, education for sustainable development and so on that our kids are getting exposed to. Your job becomes to take all the people who haven't already got it and to brainwash them because that's what you do with those people. So, the Soviets say, "Capitalism brainwashes everybody, so what we'll do is take power and brainwash people the right way so that they'll be socialists, so then we won't need to have this program anymore when they're all socialists."

1:59 And well, what do you do with the people who are, say, too stupid or too stubborn or too faithful in a lot of cases for the brainwashing to work? You kill them. You get rid of them. You make examples of them, too.

Summary

The discussion critiques the notion that a select group can manipulate society by controlling the means of production and brainwashing the masses into accepting a socialist ideology. It highlights the dangers of excluding those deemed "unenlightened" from democratic processes and the extreme measures taken against dissenters.

- The belief that the masses are easily brainwashed leads to a justification for elitism in governance.
- Only those who understand socialist theory are allowed to participate in democracy, excluding the "brainwashed" majority.
- The concept of "inversion of praxis" suggests that activism can reshape societal values, leading to a new form of consciousness.
- Historical examples like gulags and ideological re-education programs illustrate the lengths to which such regimes will go to enforce conformity.
- Educational systems are seen as tools for indoctrination, promoting values aligned with global citizenship and sustainable development.
- The extreme outcome for those resistant to brainwashing is elimination, reflecting a brutal approach to maintaining ideological purity.
