Line 36: − − ===Rectification and self examination=== − :{{See also|Maoism|Rectification|}} − The concept of white privilege has been compared to the Maoist [[rectification movement]], which is described as "the largest, darkest, and most ferocious power game ever played out in the human world. In the name of 'cleansing [[petty bourgeoisie]] toxins,' the Party washed away morality, independence of thought, freedom of action, tolerance, and dignity. " − − White privilege is a "petty bourgeoisie toxin" in socialist parlance. ''The Nine Commentaries on the Communist Party'' describes the process of rectification and its results: − {{quotebox|"in evaluating their own consciousness, people were required to scrutinize whether they had been concerned about their self-interest, whether they had used work for the Party to reach personal goals, whether they had wavered in trust in the [[revolution]]ary future, whether they had feared death during battles, and whether they had missed spouses and family members after joining the Party or the army. There were no objective standards, so nearly everyone was found to have problems.... − − Humiliation became a fact of life—it was either humiliate other comrades or humiliate oneself. People were pushed to the brink of insanity, having been forced to abandon their dignity, sense of honor or shame, and love for one another to save their own lives and their own jobs. They ceased to express their own opinions and recited Party leaders’ articles instead.<ref>http://www.ninecommentaries.com/english-2</ref>}} − This Maoist rectification was openly used against public officials and private citizens on the street during the [[2020 Leftist insurrection]].<ref>https://youtu.be/eACIjK36mek</ref>

The idea of white privilege insulates racial identity political groups from that expression of opinion, because it maintains the fiction that ''any'' white, despite laws of equal opportunity, carries with them the power to oppress, despite any evidence to the contrary, such as tolerance of affirmative action laws (even those extended to people who were never enslaved) or the furtherance of the unproven virtues of diversity and unbridled immigration and widespread hostility to their coming to a close, and a fiction that also maintains a racial favoritism among whites, while prestigious polling agencies show them to be the least selective among racial lines of any race in the world.
