Why Racism is Ethno-Socialism

Malcolm argues racism applies group differences to individuals, while true evil legally encodes it. This prevents inter-generational competition essential for progress. He explains racism’s similarity to communism in suppressing the “grand game” advancing society. Racists grasp external excuses for failure rather than learning from successful groups.

Affirmative action is the worst modern racism as it systemically handicaps minorities. Historic racism still disadvantaged some groups, but evenness doesn’t mean fairness. A level playing field enables eventual parity. They discuss respectful cultural pride versus outgroup hatred. Overall the left’s racism destroys potential while right bigots chiefly hurt themselves.

Malcolm: [00:00:00] ethnic socialism is what it really is.

Malcolm: Racism is ethnic socialism. They apply. Unfair barriers to people of different racial and ethnic groups based on preconceptions about those groups that prevent those groups from competing against them in a fair and open ecosystem. And doing that. They hobble those groups, but they also hobble their own group.

Malcolm: What the great thing is about actual racism is groups that don't punish it, don't compete as well.

Malcolm: And they end up falling apart. If you look at America and you look at the white populations, the white populations that were less racist economically have outperformed the white populations that were more racist. Hmm.

Simone: Yeah.

Malcolm: You look at multicultural groups and this is something you see. Racism is a self extinguishing phenomenon when it is not entrenched in government law.

Malcolm: That's why I see the groups that are just like [00:01:00] generically racist as less evil than the groups that enshrine racism in law with things like affirmative action because. Those groups are hurting themselves often more than they hurt the groups around them. And so it's like, ha ha ha, look at the idiot.

Would you like to know more?

Simone: Malcolm, you really piqued my curiosity the other day when you said racism was a lot like communism. What's going on there?

Malcolm: Now, this is a fun topic and it was inspired by a comment by Simone by the way, love you excited to be talking to you again where some people were like, why is

Malcolm: racism ethically wrong? You know, so first we need to define what we mean by racism. And what we consider racism. So some people consider racism as believing different ethnic groups are different. That is stupid. And diversity has no value if we're not actually different.

Malcolm: In a [00:02:00] world in which everyone is secretly the same, there is no point in diversity, culturally, ethnically, anything like that. It's an aesthetic difference. And that it's not, there's no superiority to a painting with more colors in it than a painting with

Simone: less color. And furthermore, in such a world, which is optimal, it would also be ridiculous to pretend that there aren't differences, right?

Malcolm: And it's you know, I think, here's where it gets bad, okay, and this is where I define racism.

Malcolm: It's when you use Intergroup differences to make decisions about individuals when you find out they're part of one group or another group, or to make decisions about how you interact with groups as a whole. This is very important to me. Like I bet that you never. allow knowledge of like, well, people like this, they're like, they're like, Catholics are like, this Jews are like this.

Malcolm: It's just like groups like this. Like, obviously there are going to be [00:03:00] statistical norms that are culturally, even if, even if just cultural differences, because different ethnic groups clustered within different cultural groups and culture can influence life outcomes. Of course, you're going to have different averages that differ between groups.

Malcolm: And these averages can allow you. to create prejudices, which allow you to more quickly make decisions about those groups. Often this is what I am against, and this is what I consider to be a racist. But then there's the higher form of racism, which is the ultimate form of racism. And I think where you get into sort of pure evil, which is when you encode group differences into legal systems.

Malcolm: Or social systems in terms of how you deal with cultural outsiders. Ah, okay. So let's talk about why this is very similar to communism and why it is evil from our cultural perspective. Okay. So there are many things that our culture values. But [00:04:00] one of the highest value systems within our culture is intergenerational improvement.

Malcolm: The core goal of every human being... is to make kids that are better than them. It is. a game in which you are always playing against your ancestors and yourself. It is a game in which you are consistently striving to not stagnate, where stagnation is the highest form of failure. A stagnant species, our pattern from our worldview, Is completely pointless.

Malcolm: It is, it may as well not exist. If you think of it in terms of Conway's Game of Life,

Malcolm: and I'll see if you get some video of this or something. A simple self repeating pattern is as pointless as a pattern that ceases to exist because it is uninteresting. It is, it is, it is unmeaningful.[00:05:00] Now, this is why when we see groups like the Nazis who are like, well we need to go back to like, A single Aryan white, they sort of see the perfect ethnicity as being something in the past can be crafted and then is stagnant which is actually very similar to the people who want to ban us from using genetic selection on our kids because they see us as like dirtying the human gene pool by like entering exogenous technology into our practices.

Malcolm: They both believe that there is a perfect version of humanity. It is either close to the existing version of humanity or, or in the past. And we can achieve it by limiting other groups, reproductive capabilities or exterminating other groups. So this is a form of stagnation to us. It is a form of evil to us.

Malcolm: But even generic racism is, is the Ideologically uplifting of stagnation as a [00:06:00] concept. So the way that progressive groups, because progressive culture is, if you look at conservative culture as it typically offers a lot of cultural amenities to people, it offers. You know, if you live in a very Christian community, they often have a very Mormon community or something like that.

Malcolm: You know, if you're on hard times, it has systems for dealing with that. If you're old and food scarce, it has systems for dealing with that. If you're an orphan, they have systems for dealing with that. You know, and, and, and this, This often makes progressives angry. They're like, well, of course, like the Salvation Army exists and provides services for people, but they don't provide them to trans people.

Malcolm: They, they enforce some of their cultural values when they're providing these services. And it's like, well, yeah, they do. Okay. But. They are able to motivate their average member to provide these services, while you, progressive community, appears to be unable to do that without the threat of government force.

Malcolm: Well, because of this, if the progressive community wants to [00:07:00] deconvert people into it, if it wants to convert people's kids, because, you know, they're not having kids of their own, so they ca
