Joshua Lisec appeared on Human Events Daily with Jack Posobiec, where he delivered his breakdown of cultural Marxism and its real-world impact on the West's institutions, including law enforcement responses in violent incidents in light of after the murder of Henry Nowak in the UK.
Lisec traced what he called a shift from 19th-century Marxist economic theory into a modern cultural framework centered on identity categories.
“As we explain in the original Unhumans book, cultural Marxism, we have to go back this far, we have to go back to the middle 19th century, with the original Marxism that has sort of mutated into cultural Marxism. See, the original Marxism was an economic theory in which the haves were the oppressors of the have-nots, an economic industrial context. But because of free market capitalism, because of the success of the United States, countering that oppressive versus oppressed prediction model, communism became a cultural phenomenon instead,” Lisec said.
He said that in this framework, majority populations are reframed as the dominant “oppressor class.”
“And so, in the new world, the new cultural Marxism we like to call it, the oppressor class is seen as the majority. And who is going to be the majority in the United States? Well, that’s white people, specifically straight white males. Christian straight white males, I should add, have all of the intersectional boxes of oppressor checked,” he said.
Lisec said this worldview extends into broader social and institutional assumptions.
“And all non-white, non-male, non-Christian, non-straight individuals are in the cultural Marxist worldview, which surrounds us like air, which is like fish swimming in water. So when you say, oh, well, where’s the cultural Marxism? Can you point to where the cultural Marxism hit you? Uh-huh, they will say, they will snidely and sarcastically remark. But the reality is we subsist in that environment, and we have in that immediate environment, and that political environment, and in that legal environment for a very long time now,” Lisec said.
He tied the concept to a recent UK stabbing case discussed during the segment, focusing on how accusations shape institutional responses.
“So when we consider what exactly happened to Henry, this young man in the United Kingdom, the police received this call that there was a young man doing a racism. And if you’re doing racisms, well, then you need to be stopped immediately by men and women with firearms or other such weaponry. And so because Henry was accused of doing a racism by this Sikh family, the police arrived,” he said.
Lisec said police acted on competing accounts at the scene and gave greater weight to one version of events.
“And because the straight white male Christian man, Henry, was accused of doing a racism by a brown, non-white, non-Christian male and their family, the police, following the cultural Marxist worldview and paradigm, they gave the benefit of the doubt to the brown, and they gave no benefit of any doubt to the white, and they immediately aggressed him,” he said.
He added that in this framework, accusations can determine how guilt is interpreted in real time during police encounters.
“The implication, therefore, is that if you are doing a racism, you are deserving of death. That is what the paradigm’s next level was demonstrating here,” Lisec said.
