As with any tool, DEI should be assessed for its rationality and results. Leaders and citizens both should ask, “Does DEI help put an end to racial inequalities, or does it worsen and prolong them? Does it truly foster social unity, or does it harmfully produce more division, anger, and disdain?”
History confirms that Charles Darwin’s derelict evolutionary theories profoundly impacted the foundation of racism, “supremacy,” and inequality. Those theories said that blacks were not “equal” and instead were equated to “apes,” “gorillas,” and “savages.”
Darwin’s theories gave “scientific justification” for treating blacks differently and unequally because blacks were deemed innately inferior. Result: Blacks and all other non-white ethnicities were maligned and viewed as dirty and inferior.
Darwin’s racist theories profoundly impacted Karl Marx’s beliefs. As Marx and Engels considered Darwin a mentor, they integrated Darwinism into Marx’s philosophy.
Marx accepted Darwin’s racist beliefs that humankind evolved over time and in stages and that the various ethnicities were therefore not created equal. This meant Marx believed that blacks and other ethnicities had innate deficiencies and limitations compared to the ideals he cherished in whites.
This turned out to be troubling for Marx. He felt he was superior because he was white, yet his own personal success was miserable. He never “measured up” to his contemporaries. Instead of taking personal responsibility and becoming more competent and zealous about personal achievement, Marx blamed the “capitalist system” for his failures.
Marx’s lifetime of laziness, joblessness, and mooching, while fathering eight children by two women, created poverty that drove his insatiable bitterness, jealousy, and hate directed at those who attained success and accomplishments. Marx felt self-important by embracing communist philosophy as it forged a movement for social “change” grounded upon perpetual grievances, collective hate, and unending bitterness.
Marxist philosophy said all people are inevitably divided into two classes. Marx saw the division as basically the “haves” versus the “have nots.” Marx termed the two sides as the exploited class (the “proletariat”) versus the ruling class (the “bourgeoisie”).
Marx loathed successful people, like the bourgeoisie, as much because of his own bitterness as anything else. He thought history would inevitably lead to a proletarian uprising and takeover to achieve a “communist utopia.”
