I almost forgot Kwanzaa even exists, because the only person I’d ever really heard talk about it was Ann Coulter, and she seems to have dropped off the face of the planet—and there are so few people who actually even celebrate it. As a child in school, I vaguely recall a teacher reading some picture book about it and all I remember is the African garb and maybe some candles.

Anyway, it was Coulter who actually provided more than just colorful pictures in a children’s book, explaining the relationship between Kwanzaa and anti-white attitudes and Marxism:

[Ron] Karenga’s invented holiday is a nutty blend of schmaltzy ‘60s rhetoric, black racism and Marxism. The seven principles of Kwanzaa are the very same seven principles of the Symbionese Liberation Army, another invention of The Worst Generation.

In 1974, Patty Hearst, kidnap victim-cum-SLA revolutionary, posed next to the banner of her alleged captors, a seven-headed cobra. Each snakehead stood for one of the SLA’s revolutionary principles: Umoja, Kujichagulia, Ujima, Ujamaa, Nia, Kuumba and Imani. These are the exact same seven ‘principles’ of Kwanzaa.

Kwanzaa praises collectivism in every possible area of life — economics, work, personality, even litter removal. (‘Kuumba: Everyone should strive to improve the community and make it more beautiful.’) It takes a village to raise a police snitch. When Karenga was asked to distinguish Kawaida, the philosophy underlying Kwanzaa, from ‘classical Marxism,’ he essentially said that, under Kawaida, we also hate whites.

And while I forgot about Kwanzaa, the Marxists apparently haven’t. Just today, Forbes published an article by senior contributor Marshall Shepherd that explained how those same “Seven Principles” are actually the perfect blueprint for a “climate action plan” in the West.

Of course, for anyone who understands the instructions laid forth by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, it’s always been obvious that the “climate action plan” of the left is rooted in communism; it’s really all summed up in this one sentence:

Of course, in the beginning, this [communist revolution] cannot be effected except by means of despotic inroads on the rights of property, and on the conditions of bourgeois production….

In 2023, Forbes ran another article that explained the necessity of eminent domain to “overcome the challenge of climate change.” (As a reminder, eminent domain is the process by which the federal government seizes private property against the wishes of the property owner.) In 2019, an online publication called The Trouble published an article that said this:

If keeping it [oil and gas] in the ground is to be the number one priority, proponents of the GND [Green New Deal] must think outside the box. Harnessing the power of eminent domain is exactly the kind of transformative and creative strategy we need to embrace in order to do so.

News flash: Stealing property is not a new and “creative” approach for leftists. In fact, it’s an extremely predictable proposal, as it’s so…Marxist.

We see measures like carbon credits, which severely limit manufacturing.

We see endless bureaucratic rule-making, targeting the upper class and their wealth-making ventures.

And, this whole “climate change” campaign is exclusively directed at a white West, echoing the “we hate whites” attitude. India isn’t held to climate standards, and neither is China.

Naturally, this list goes on and on.

Back to Shepherd:

In a typical observance, every day of Kwanzaa is a reflection on the principles and community engagement. Through that lens, I decided to think about climate action.

He then addresses each of the points, writing how “every single person, industry, and crop” is being affected, and it will take “unified actions” from the global community (Umoja). He suggests that everyone should “audit” their own “footprint” to fulfill the Kujichagulia principle, be “climate-attentive” when voting to observe Ujima, embrace collective responsibility for Ujamaa, and so on.

Interestingly, Coulter’s essay provided quite a bit of information on the shocking amount of bloodshed that accompanied the Kwanzaa’s earliest days…which also runs parallel to the “climate change” agenda: abortion! Abortion is one of the most foundational pillars of progressive environmentalism.

Happy New Year everybody!
