The deeper roots of CRT are critical theory (Marcuse), critical pedagogy (Freire), antiracism (Angela Davis), all of whom were committed Marxists. Even Kendi says "you can't be antiracist without being anticapitalist." The means is race; the end is Marxist revolution.

Nah, the essence of the Diversity-Inclusion-Equity (DIE) movement is to get their hands on your home equity. They aren't against property rights in general, just your right to your property. They intend to have the government protect their new property once they take it from you.

For example, the BLM lady who has bought four houses since her Racial Reckoning windfall last year is not against property: she just wants you to have less of it and her to have more of it.

I mean it's not a revolution as such it's a leftist movement to chase rents, subsidies & transfer payments, esp for black petty bourgeoisie. "White supremacy" as omnipresent wrong to be remedied becomes a totalising legitimation narrative for these freaks to abuse power & get $$$

Sure, that's how it's playing out in practice. But the origins of the academic theory are explicitly Marxist (Marcuse, Freire, Angela Davis, etc.). DEI is just the farcical expression of it.

There is a strong tendency for conservatives to try to tie CRT as closely as possible to Marxism, for politically understandable reasons, but the actual analogy is so surface level that in the end it would lead one to misunderstand your adversary’s motives and plans.

I can't blame conservatives for reaching for their old reliable red-baiting vocabulary: it's worked fairly well for decades even if it's well-past the sell-by date. Probably still quite compelling for most of Chris's target audience, even if it also limits his reach.
