It's almost like they want to overthrow our entire way of life.

Let’s file this one under “You can’t make this stuff up.”

In order to understand why what we’re about to hear today is so outlandish, you need to understand the four goals of the woke left.

We discuss the four goals all the time because everything they do is designed to achieve one or more of these goals:

Gain as much power as possible
Destabilize the system
Attack capitalism
Usher in their Marxist utopia

Here, we must put a fine point on something that underpins the four goals: Revolution.

The woke left cannot usher in their Marxist utopia without a revolution to overthrow capitalism.

And we know they mean to execute a revolution against capitalism because I have Dr. Mary Bowman from the Socialism 2023 Conference on video telling us so:

With the preface and understanding, you’re not going to believe this.

Michael Nance, a philosophy professor at the University of Maryland, has called for the right to revolution from system injustice.

I’ll play you the audio in a moment, but first, I want you to know something critical about Michael: He is a former research fellow at Goethe-Universität, Frankfurt.

Goethe-Universität is the home of the Frankfurt School. Its Institute for Social Research was founded in 1923, and where the Frankfurt School was born.

This is the birthplace of critical theory and the home of Kant, Hegel, Marx, and Freud. Let’s look at some of Michel’s publications:

It sure seems like Michael is connected to the founding fathers of the woke left.

Let’s listen to what Michael had to say.

On a podcast called “Academic Minute"” Michael specifically says that when structural injustices exist,

“…the risky project of revolution, understood as the transformation of society’s basic laws through extra-legal means, becomes not just a right but a duty.”

A transcript is below. I’ll bold the important bits for us to look at after you hear the clip, and bring it all together.

The little-known German philosopher Johann Benjamin Erhard, writing in the 1790s at the peak of the excitement and horror of the French Revolution, developed a philosophical theory of revolution aimed at helping us think carefully about its promise and peril.
Erhard argues that the right to revolution exists, but only under conditions of what we might call structural injustice.
Erhard proposes that we think of a society’s political structure as founded on a set of what he calls “basic laws,” which are formal or informal norms that ground the state’s constitution system. The U.S. Bill of Rights might be one example.
He argues that revolution is permitted when and only when society’s basic laws systematically violate the rights of humanity.
In such cases, injustice penetrates all the way to the foundation of the entire political structure. Reform becomes impossible since there are no legitimate legal norms one could appeal to in criticizing the basic laws.
Under such conditions, the risky project of revolution, understood as the transformation of society’s basic laws through extra-legal means, becomes not just a right but a duty.

Now, here’s the really scary bit. Michael’s script on this clip differs slightly from the transcript on the website, which says

Under such conditions of structural injustice, reform is impossible…

I highlight this because they removed the section from the audio clip where he explicitly called it structural injustice but kept it in the transcript version on the website, so we know it was still written into the script.

I’ve archived the original website here, just in case they change it.

Let’s break it down further:

When Michael says “structural injustice”, he’s referring to the left’s idea of systemic racism.
- Each of the bolded quotes above references systemic racism existing in the legal system.
- The woke left believes systemic racism started when slaves were brought to America and will never be eliminated until the entire system is undone and rebuilt.
- The system they are referring to is capitalism because they believe capitalism created slavery and thus created systemic racism.
When Michael says, “Reform becomes impossible since there are no legitimate legal norms one could appeal to in criticizing the basic laws,” he means that systemic racism cannot be fixed by criticizing the laws.
Because systemic racism cannot be fixed, revolution is necessary.

Let’s revisit his quote from above:

“…the risky project of revolution, understood as the transformation of society’s basic laws through extra-legal means, becomes not just a right but a duty.”

Michael Nance, a former Frankfurt School fellow who is currently teaching at the taxpayer-funded University of Maryland, is literally making the woke left’s argument to justify a revolution to overthrow capitalism.

And “extra-legal means” means tactics outside of the legal system. As in violence in the streets.

Are you scared yet? If you’re not, you should be.

Fight back against the woke and support my work.

I believe the woke - on the left and the right - are an existential threat to our values as Americans. Some of them know it, most of them are just useful innocents. Regardless, fighting back against this woke cultural revolution is my full-time job. I’m dedicated to exposing the woke ideology in our country, helping people to understand what’s going on, and providing spaces for non-woke people to connect, support each other, and plan ways to fight back.

Here’s how you can help.
