    The definition of it seems to be "Marxism–Leninism holds that a two-stage communist revolution is needed to replace capitalism." The easiest way to explain it is to say "Marxism-Leninism is a belief where you turn a place from where you say, buy, and do what you want to where you say, buy, and do what the government wants." Seems easy enough to me.

    We teach versions of pre-algebra in 1st grade, and trig/calc in - 4th, I think. Just about anything is possible where not forbidden by law.

    That would all be meaningless to an eight-year-old.
    Still not anything an eight-year-old can grasp.
    They're not analogous, at least not in what I see.

    Which is why I never said I would use that. I simply said that's the definition of it.

    Oh, an eight-year-old can certainly grasp the difference between doing what s/he wants and being told what s/he must have. Even then they know the difference between having a choice versus having no choice.

    Sure they are, in that we often teach advanced concepts in simplified form to elementary kids.

    I don't see how you're going to explain Marxism-Leninism CRT to an eight-year-old.

    It depends on the 8 year old in question, as does everything else in life. But in general terms you're right. That's why it's likely not on the curriculum in schools for that age group.

    It's not even in the high school curriculum because Marxist-Leninist CRT is nonsense. It's relevant for study and consideration at college and university.

    The CRT part, yes.

    Otherwise, what's wrong with studying opposing views?

    Your tax dollars are paying for woke reeducation at NASA, the VA, and more.

    'VA had employees play “Privilege Bingo” as part of its trainings, in which they were taught that even factors clearly derived from personal choice, such as “married,” “military experience,” and “no criminal record,” somehow make them unduly “privileged.”'

    NASA SAYS "HOLD MY BEER!"

    'NASA training teaches that the term “African American” is now offensive, suggesting that it is “utilized heavily in white spaces” and “can make Black people feel excluded as the term tends to ‘other.’” What’s more, NASA pushes the whole “microaggression” nonsense on its workforce. It even suggests that microaggressions, minor verbal ticks that subconsciously offend in some hypothetical way, are just as bad as actual active racial discrimination!'

    Folks forced to sit through taxpayer funded racist indoctrination. The New Congress needs to make sure appropriations for this racist divisive filth is zero'd out.

    That's not explaining Marxism-Leninism. Try again.

    WOKE AT WHARTON:

    'Cast as a milestone in what the New York Times recently termed an “anticapitalist” march through America’s elite business schools, Wharton’s move parallels the advance of “woke capitalism” in boardrooms, already illustrated in the vast majority of major U.S. companies touting their ESG bona fides in regulatory filings, and every Fortune 100 company having adopted a DEI program.'

    '“Stakeholder” capitalism, ESG, etc. are all just ways for management to avoid accountability. If your job is maximizing shareholder returns, you can be judged a failure or success. If your job is instead a mishmash of buzzwords and conflicting goals, you cannot. Like the political class’s love of transnational institutions — no pesky electorate to account to — it’s all about maximizing their freedom to do as they please, at the expense of the lesser classes.'

    Not good.

    There's no way teachers are pushing Marxism-Leninism to primary students,

    SEGREGATION NOW, SEGREGATION TOMORROW, SEGREGATION FOREVER: Portland State U. DEI summit includes ‘white’ and ‘black’ race-based tables.

    'Portland State University Professor Bruce Gilley, president of the Oregon Association of Scholars, told The College Fix via email that the “use of ‘White’ tables at a university-run planning event is a gross affront not just to equality but to basic decency.”'

    He's right.

    '“Portland State is taking the madness of the ‘diversity’ agenda to new heights by specifying a segregated place where a targeted group is to sit,” Gilley said. “Perhaps the university will roll out special arm-bands for white people on campus.”'

    The proponents of this are racist divisive grifter pigs.

    Well, I dunno about that. Republicans spend fiscally responsibly and then democrat politicians turn around and do whatever they want.

    for example, the majority of states that go over their budgets are liberal states. Then, they turn around and recoop their money federally, threw large bills that they pass. Then they look like they actually are doing good budget wise, and most Americans are none the wiser to what they have done.

    too bad the republican media doesn't point this out more. I mean, what American especially in republican states wouldn't want to pay more taxes to help get liberal states out of their massive debt that they spend so freely? lol.

    Personally I think regressive is a more accurate term. Intersectionalist or deconstructionist as a neutral descriptor.
