I would never tell black people to shut up. Because weve got people who for years have been talking about how unified we are in Christ, who now are suddenly dismissing one another because of where they fall on a particular social issue. Now, instead of a preacher, youve become a politician because the only way to fix that one is to change the hegemony. He is the One who defines justice and He has revealed what true justice is in the Bible. In recent years we have a growing concern about "social justice." Thats number one. {15:12} My background Just want to help you understand why this is something Ive been addressing. Welcome to the intersection of faith and the culture. % 2009 pgs 123-124 He took up Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu in 2012 But what if youre not white, but youre also not male? Amen? James Lindsay and Helen Pluckrose and Peter Boghossian have coined this phrase of Grievance Studies. And they believed that this explained why the revolution didnt take place. with David Barton, Tim Barton and Rick Green is a daily journey into the past to capture the ideas of the Founding Fathers of America and then apply them to the major issues of today. So, I thought about it in these ways. Glad you find it helpful too. Why? But some of them kind of really put the thinking caps on and tried to figure out, okay, why didnt this happen and how can we move this idea forward? i0b; CBq[7`zt=E\`{Q0+j-) XtC&\Xo4yeA(T=i`og9ihX From his time pastoring at Grace Family Baptist Church in Texas, to now serving as the Dean of Theology at African Christian University in Zambia, Voddie and his family have gone whole heartedly after this call to mission. Let me give you just a few that I wrote about then and was worried about then because of the philosophy of Cultural Marxism and because of this mans long history with Cultural Marxism, not only from his university days but even his church. For Gramsci, control the robes of society. And its important that we understand the words that we use. But what I really want to do is I really want to give us time to interact as much as we can, especially on this format. Were going to have to pick up with VoddieBaucham tomorrow for the remainder of that interview. Welcome back to WallBuilders Live. How does Marxism and biblical worldview compete in America right now from your perspective? And so, it was a very turbulent time. And since you mentioned Eastern Europe, I want to talk about Marxist philosophy and whether or not it can abide with a Christian worldview. These are not issues that are being discussed. Well thats hard, yall. And building relationships with those people. Gather the family around, watch the One-Room Schoolhouse and learn some great history. I didnt grow up with my father, but I knew my father. And it is insulting, unfair, and unbrotherly to suggest otherwise, just as much as it is to say that anybody who emphasizes these issues more than I would somehow doesnt love the gospel. Does this make sense? They are therefore, the oppressors. Pastor Voddie Baucham is a phenomenal leader and I have been wanting to have him on the program for months and months. It's crazy how our bodies work. But let me first say that Im grateful for this opportunity and I have always thought so much of Patriot Academy and Im really excited to see young people getting involved in processes like this and actually learning and being taught. Now them that are such we command and exhort by our Lord Jesus Christ, that with . The end result of that is you dont engage, you dont discuss, you dont interact because heres what you learn: whatever your answer is, if it doesnt line up with what the Cultural Marxist says it ought to be, or what the person who is borrowing the ideology of the Cultural Marxist says it ought to be, or the person who is unwittingly falling prey to the Cultural Marxism that all of us have been saturated in ought it to be, then youre wrong and youre a racist. So the revolution that comes doesnt need to be an armed revolution or a revolution of force, it needs to be a hegemonic revolution. Im not here to state that all who disagree with me are Grimscian, Cultural neo-Marxists (youll understand those terms as we go along). The first time, I went to school in Oxford, and I didnt think that living in the United Kingdom would be so much different, that living in England would be so much different than living in the United States. {37:11} So what do these guys give us? By the way, this idea of cultural hegemony explains something. My mother was a victims advocate until she retired in San Antonio, Texas, working in the legal system there. And youll see that its not whiteness that makes the difference, it is the gospel because eastern Europe is white, but its not as free or prosperous as Western Europe, because the gospel has not prospered in eastern Europe like it has in Western Europe. We cant live like this. He believed that he was witnessing the rise, and would see eventually the fall, of the Capitalist Stage. And again, like I said at the beginning, I am not arguing that theres no racism. Theres one individual then in another group, Antonio Gramsci was an Italian Marxist and he was put in prison by the fascist. Ideas matter. And often, Ive been around where people would, well, lets pray for the president or lets pray for this or the elections coming up, so lets pray. And so, part of what Im having to do here is sort of deprogram that and go, wait a minute, guys, lets look at a world map and lets talk about the freest societies in the world and the least corrupt societies in the world and lets also overlay that with the societies where the gospel has penetrated the deepest. Members of my family who are part of the nation of Islam. And then in 1935 they came to New York and became affiliated with Columbia University. Frankfurt School - 1900s Social Theory School, Hegemony - Term to describe how control over another happens, Karl Marx - 1800s German philosopher, economist, etc. Blogged about it intently, intensely, in 2007 during the election because of what I saw as the incredible threat of Barack Obama who was a massive Cultural Marxist, and, in my opinion, then and now a dangerous man on a number of fronts and for a number of reasons. Its amazing. Often the person whos looking at their brother and saying, Ah youre just a Cultural Marxist, doesnt necessarily mean that thats what the person is even though they may believe that theyre espousing some of the ideas that come from Cultural Marxism. Voddie Baucham The term "cultural Marxism" gets thrown around a lot these days in debates about issues like social justice, critical race theory, and intersectionality. {18:30} And yet, I despise Cultural Marxism, Im not a social justice warrior, reject ideas like white privilege, intersectionality, and systemic racism theory, absolutely, unequivocally so. Thats where I come from. Well what if youre not white and not male and not heterosexual, well now the oppression is even worse on you because you have these three intersections of oppression. Voddie Baucham has spoken of the unbiblical ideology imbedded in Cultural Marxism. 1 Chronicles chapter 12 beginning in verse 23, These are the numbers of the divisions of the armed troops who came to David in Hebron to turn the kingdom of Saul over to him, according to the word of the Lord. So David, the man after Gods own heart, is about to inherit the kingdom; hes about to become king and there are men who came with him because if youre going to be king, if youre going to govern Gods people, if youre going to lead Gods people, there are some things that you need. Lets go to the Book. And what that has the potential to do is to move us away from addressing individuals and their sin and their pain and their brokenness. And building relationships. There is a man by the name of Balint Vazsonyi (I probably didnt say his name correctly). Baucham knows he is in a unique position to push back on this current cultural moment of critical race theory, critical social justice, and the woke ideology. And so, its amazing to help people understand those two things. It doesnt have to be that either we address individuals and their sin and their brokenness, or we look at problems with systems and this and that. And for some people it even disqualifies you as a Christian. Central to Marxs theory of capitalism was the belief that the destruction of this economic system was built into the system itself since capitalism is premised on exploitation of the working class by the ruling class.

I started writing about Cultural Marxism in the early 2000s, somewhere around 2005/6/7. There was a picture of Jesus, Martin Luther King, Jr and John F. Kennedy. In recent years we have a growing concern about "social justice." {51:56} Do you know what that means? So with that in mid, lets look at it. This is an interview that I had with him during Patriot Academy just last week. {3:47} Currently, in this discussion, in this debate, and I even hesitate to call it a debate (and Ill talk more about that as the weekend goes on). If you are all those tings, but youre not white, then your oppression is limited to this area. In recent years we have a growing concern about "social justice." So, we just began to really look into that and take that seriously. And generally the person who turns aback and says, Ah youre just a racist knows better. Two ideas: 1) Gramscis idea of cultural hegemony. Marx died in 1888 by the way, so now we get into the late 1800s, the early 1900s; we get into WWI. No. Many thanks!

The great irony is that, in a way Im borrowing language from the other side now because the other side is always saying check your privilege, right? Gramsci was an Italian Marxist. Its important for you, whichever side of this thing you find yourself on, to understand the words that you use and the implications of the words that you use, and not just assume that people know what youre talking about or what you mean when you throw out those words. And Im kind of saying that, but heres the difference Im saying it to everybody. And then theres something else that happened. For more resources on these topics, you can visit www.founders.org. Dr. Voddie Baucham has spoken of the unbiblical ideology imbedded in Cultural Marxism.

By the way, in the mean time, how do you gain political power. If you dont, its you. Hands up, dont shoot never happened. And everybody who is that is privileged. I have been praying that we could get Voddie Baucham here at patriot Academy for such a time as this. He introduced a couple of terms that aren't in other videos on Marxism in this blog: hegemony and intersectionality. And thats when I began to sort of my mind began to open up to this idea that people serving in politics, its not like theres the church and theres the gospel and theres Jesus and what he does in our lives and then theres over there, theres politics, which is something different.
