Brian Krassenstein is a prolific Twitter Spaces host who regularly interacts with Elon Musk on the platform and gets paid well over five figures every month just to tweet as a part of the new revenue-sharing program.

In general, although he’s on the left, I don’t find Brian to be woke or even have much connection to what the far-left is really doing. He’s your normal, average centrist. I’ve even found him pretty reasonable at times. I’ve been on a couple of his space and have always found him to be cordial, even when I disagreed with him (and I do, on many things).

I actually think that Brian is a good gauge of where most of America is. He doesn’t really understand what’s going on in the world (or he does a great job of pretending not to) but he also isn’t an indoctrinated leftist. He’s more of a useful innocent type (some might refer to this as a useful idiot, but I think useful innocent is nicer) who just wants to do the right thing and be a good person.

I say this all because tonight, Brian posted on Twitter about a very public struggle session he experienced in the a Twitter space at the hands of another Twitter host.

Here is what Brian posted. I’ll have to break this into two images because of how long it is, but each image leads back to the original tweet for reference.

 
 

There’s so much to unpack here. Overall Brian did a good job, but he also made a few mistakes.

In the remainder of this premium article, I will break down what happened in this very public struggle session based on what Brian’s perspective in this tweet:

  • I’ll tell you why this person called Brian a racist. Hint: It’s not because he did anything wrong or dislikes black people in any way.

  • I’ll explain what Brian did really well in this situation, so that you can learn from his successes.

  • I’ll tell you the big mistakes he made, and how he gave some of his power away to the leftist who attacked him.

2024 Black Lives Matter In School Guide calls to abolish capitalism and the nuclear family
Let's see what your kids will learn in schools.

Did you think they stopped teaching Critical Race Theory in schools? Think again! Just today, Black Lives Mater at School released their 2024 manual for educators to help them integrate socialism into their curriculum.

 

How do we know it’s socialism? Because on page five of the manual, it flatly states that their work is grounded in “anticapitalist politics” alongside a bunch of other key socialist phrases, like neoliberalism (socialists hate neoliberals), revolutionary politics, abolitionist politics (that means getting rid of police and jails) and restorative justice.

 

And on page 9, they explicitly call for the disruption of the nuclear family for the purpose of “collectivizing care” and “radicalizing care” which means a world in which all healthcare is public and free, with no private doctors or insurance companies allowed.

 

Socialists believe one of the outcomes of abolishing the nuclear family will be equitable distribution of resources relating to care because, currently, individuals receive care based on the resources of their family, with some individuals having access to more resources than others.

And that’s not all. Want to see what else is in this manual?

I’ll break down the important parts and explain how they’re teaching socialism in the remainder of this premium article.

The Woke Mind: Who Is The Leader On The Left?
The answer is not what you think it is.

When I try to explain who is really pushing things like critical race theory and gender ideology into schools (the far-left revolutionary socialist activists) and that, no, it’s not George Soro or his son (they’re not part of the same groups), I’m immediately met with the following question from conservatives:

“Oh yeah???? Well, who is the leader on the left then, huh????”

They’re never satisfied with the answer that I give them.

However, after watching thousands of hours of woke left and socialist training videos, I know for sure that my answer is the correct one, no matter who likes it. If you aren’t honest about who you’re fighting, you can never defeat the enemy.

In this premium article, I’ll tell you who the leader on the left is, and explain the psychology behind why the left operates the way they do.

Woke 101: If the woke left wins, what does the Marxist Utopia look like?
This is where we're going if we don't stop the cultural revolution

The four goals of the woke left are always and forever the same:

  1. Gain as much power as possible

  2. Destabilize the system

  3. Attack Capitalism

  4. Usher in their Marxist Utopia

They literally do not believe they will be free under capitalism, which means revolution against it is the goal. This is a clip from the Socialism 2023 conference:

So, what does the Marxist Utopia look like after they overthrow capitalism?

Here’s an overview:

  • The #1 goal of the left is to abolish capitalism.

  • By abolishing capitalism, they believe they will create a society based on equity, which means that all disparities are eliminated and everyone has equal access to resources.

    • There will be no rich and no poor. Equity means that everyone has the same.

    • Equity means sameness.

  • When they say capitalism, they mean private property.

    • Private property means your house, because in their utopia, the state will own all of the property.

    • Private property means your business, because in their utopia, the means of production will be owned by the state.

      • They will have eliminated the profit motive because they blame the profit motive on why capitalism is oppressive. The profit motive means that some people will have more than others, which means there won’t be a society built on equity.

      • When they eliminate the profit motive, they believe that substantially less production will be required to accommodate the needs of society. So, for example, there won’t be 39 brands of deodorant to choose from anymore - that’s all excess based on the profit motive. Only one brand will be produced by the state. If you don’t like it, too bad.

    • Private property means your children. The far left believes that children should be able to make their own decisions and that it is their job to liberate them from the adult supremacy of their parents.

 

Want more? I’ll cover education, healthcare, gender and the future of the family, behind the paywall.
