DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) is based on fraud. We are rapidly coming to understand this fact now, but it always bears repeating. Interestingly, one aspect of the fraud of DEI isn't new at all. It's an old Communist standard common both to Mao's regime in China and the Soviet Union before him, as well as elsewhere, surely. That said, welcome back to my Book Club episodes of James Lindsay OnlySubs! In this episode, I'm still reading from Frank Dikotter's "People's Trilogy," specifically in this case The Tragedy of LiberationA History of the Chinese Revolution 19451957 ( ), and in particular in this case a short vignette illustrating that the Maoist equivalents of DEI training today imposed identities and accusations in fraudulent ways. Just like your DEI coordinator convincing you and your coworkers that you participate in secret racism and are therefore a racist with various implicit biases, Mao (and the Soviets before him) assigned peasants class identities that didn't make any sense to their circumstances but became deterministic of their lives. Join me to learn how ugly it was!
