The failure on all fronts is the breakdown of the logic of communist philosophy as it has been accepted and taught to us through our public education system. This question has been asked of me many times since I did the video interview with Darbi Boddy, the Lakota school board member that the institution itself wanted to eliminate before she ever had a chance to do anything in the job. This idea that the system is in charge and not the voters is obviously a problem that was witnessed with President Trump, as the Deep State worked aggressively to get rid of Trump before he even had a chance to get into the White House. On a more local level, the same approach came at Darbi Boddy; it’s baked into the assumptions we have as a culture, one that slowly, over many years, accepted a communist view of the world as opposed to the efforts of a meritocracy—talking to her and hearing her point of view it’s easy to hear where the problem is. When she was first a school board member in those opening days, the institution aggressively sought to romance her into friendship, and the goal was then to use that friendship toward the aims of group consensus. Actually, the entire education system, as Dewey designed it, is designed to break students down into their forever social compliance roles; whether they would be the popular kids, the scrappy worker bees, or the garbage heap bottom-of-the-barrel types, public education was meant to break kids down into their social roles, and the same application would, of course, be applied to the leadership to get the same results. We weren’t teaching kids or their teacher’s exceptionalism; we were teaching sameness and class structure. The goal was class and to put people in those classes so they’d be easy to control.
After that interview with Darbi, I had a number of people call me and warn me of the terrible thing that I had done; I had given her a platform to speak from. I had allowed her to function outside of the class structure they felt was necessary for the maintenance of a public school, and it was determined that she was going to be smoked out because she had resisted the compliance culture of sameness that was expected in public education, especially on the school board level. Of course, I answered that was precisely why I ran an alternative news and opinion site because I hated communism and wanted more people like Darbi to be able to get their word out and let people see who they were, not what some communist caricature of her interpreted for the audience. It was a good interview with her, and you can know how much by how many people were upset by it. It wasn’t anything she had said, but that she had the means to say it that they were so angry with. And within that sentiment was the solution and fix to the entire problem. The weakness of communism, of course, is a society that functions on merit. When people earn their reputations and aren’t controlled by the consensus builders based on behavior, that’s when the system breaks down quickly because communists never figured it out. They simply implemented it as Karl Marx designed it, then put it out for society to follow in every way that institutions had formed in relation to the communist position. But that’s what we are dealing with. That is the goal behind globalism in general and why they expect to run the world with China-style communism as the tool.
I’ve studied this topic for a long time, including tracing the footsteps of Karl Marx and his studies in the British Museum. I had to see it for myself where the most destructive philosophy ever introduced to the human race was created. It has only been recently that communism has lost some of the stigmas that it naturally had against it in American culture because now the cat is out of the bag, and the China model is not a well-kept secret anymore. I pointed this out to everyone when Lakota schools started an exchange program to send teachers to China to learn how the communist China model would work. I was against it, and many bellyached about my comments. After all, China was our friend. I’ve openly talked about communism in our culture for my entire adult life, and the mechanism it uses is this consensus-building method that you see on every school board, every board room meeting, and every approach that involves groups of people working out common problems. You especially see it in politics, where sameness is expected. The message is that people come and go. What we need is institutional stability by taking away the peaks and valleys of performance. It was the institution that mattered more than individual input. That was the communist message to America, and by now, almost everyone involved in group activity utilizes those methods to maintain control of the institutions they serve.
Of course, people like Darbi were elected by people who expect a more free market approach to the social management problem, which is the same for Trump as well. The public has not accepted that communism maintained through social interactions (friendships) is as big of a problem as it really is. Because they believe in America as a merit-based society, they still believe that individuals can move mountains if allowed to utilize the best and brightest ideas among them. At the same time, communism seeks to protect the institution from those pesky fluctuations of individualized input. This is why the McCarthy hearings in the 1950s were so critical and criticized by those trying to bring communism to America. The reason communism is dangerous is that we have fought several wars trying to protect ourselves from removing social interactions with individual input into a compliance structure where inputs are interchangeable and worthless. Darbi was elected to bring her individual character to the school board to represent the voters who put her there. But the school board itself, from the OSBA and down to the president, which is a person I know personally, was to get control of her. And once they realized they would never have control of Darbi, the resolve was to use the institutional protections of communism to get rid of her, with group pressure. And so many people who call themselves conservatives fell in line with the communist way of thinking. They were so far gone they could no longer see the situation objectively. And that made them hate Darbi even more because she made them realize how anti-capitalist they were in their lives. The way that communism expects to command the world through centralized authority is by controlling the expectations of what institutionalism actually does. When individuals spend their time on institutional compliance rather than the contributions of individual merit to a group debate, the power structure has shifted to centralized authority rather than merit-based input, which is the root cause of many of the world’s problems presently. It’s easy enough to fix once people realize that’s what’s going on. And in my own school district, the reaction to the Darbi Boddy interview told the story clearly for all to see, which is why she has been so good as a school board member. We are working to get communism out of our public life, and schools are the first place to start. And to do that, we need good school boards and many more people like Darbi to bring value to managing these public assets.
