Korenizatsiya: Stalin's Soviet DEI Program
The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 153
Did you know the Soviet Union ran a DEI program exactly like the Woke Marxist one of today? How about Mao's China? As it turns out, DEI isn't an American invention. It's a Soviet invention and Soviet export, designed, outlined, and implemented by Josef Stalin and Vladimir Lenin in the USSR in the 1920s. The results were predictable, of course: massively increasing ethnic strife arising from within the world's most widespread Affirmative Action program in history. Russians, then later Han Chinese, then later straight, white, Christian, males in the West, were invited to subjugate themselves to ethnic minorities to accomplish "actual equality," which we today call "equity." The full program was called korenizatsiya (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korenizatsiia), and its "diversity" program was called raznoobrazsiya, and its lever was called "Great Russian chauvinism" in the USSR, "Han chauvinism" in the PRC, "white supremacy culture" in today's West, and "great-power chauvinism" in general. In this groundbreaking episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay explains the korenizatsiya program of Stalin's USSR and reads excerpts from two of Stalin's works to flesh it out. Join him to understand how DEI is nothing more than a Bolshevik Communist program we've implemented on ourselves. You don't want to miss it.
