'''Rectification''' (''pinyin'' '''Cheng Feng''') in [[communist]] thought is to "make right" imaginary [[crime]]s of [[Western]] [[capitalist]]s and beneficiaries of so-called "[[white privilege]]", to purge communist [[revolution]]aries contaminated with [[individualism]].  Self-criticism and confession is forced either through [[torture]] or public shaming.

While rectified [[Marxist]] revolutionaries may be exiled or canceled as punishment, there may be hope for rehabilitation through re-education and [[brainwashing]]; [[counter-revolution]]aries and non-co-conspirators in leftwing [[lawlessness]] are forced to confess, giving alleged legal justification for [[capital punishment]] or other extreme measures, including victimizing a non-communist or non-[[leftist]]'s family, friends, and co-workers with the same rectification measures up to, and including, [[murder]].

Aleksandar Katai, a [[Serbia]]n soccer who played with the Los Angeles Galaxy, wife posted criticism of the Minneapolis rioters in Serbian. Someone noticed, translated the posting and criticized her. She deleted the posting. Katai's wife was in Chicago when she wrote the post, and Aleksandar may not have even been aware of the post. Riot protesters arrived at the Los Angeles stadium to call for Alexander's firing.  The management of the L.A. Galaxy forced Alexander Katai to apologize for his wife, and then to denounce her. Then they made him endorse Black Lives Matter, which he did, and then they fired him anyway.<ref>https://skugal.org/racist-violent-la-galaxy-fire-aleksandar-katai-over-wifes-shocking-social-media-posts-about-us-police-brutality-protests/</ref> Then Katai was attacked on his way out for something he didn't do, may not have even been aware of, in a language most Americans don't understand.<ref>https://nypost.com/2020/06/06/la-galaxy-releases-aleksandar-katai-amid-wifes-racist-posts/</ref>

Editorial page director of the ''[[New York Times]]'' James Bennet apologized, and then resigned, after publishing an [[op-ed]] from [[Sen. Tom Cotton]].  The article suggested the U.S. military might be necessary to quell nationwide socialist insurrection if governors and mayors refused to defend the lives and property of American citizens and taxpayers.

I am one of your colleagues at the University of California, Berkeley. I have met you both personally but do not know you closely, and am contacting you anonymously, with apologies. I am worried that writing this email publicly might lead to me losing my [[job]], and likely all future jobs in my field.

In your recent departmental emails you mentioned our pledge to diversity, but I am increasingly alarmed by the absence of diversity of [[opinion]] on the topic of the recent protests and our community response to them. In the extended links and resources you provided, I could not find a single instance of substantial counter-argument or alternative narrative to explain the under-representation of black individuals in [[academia]] or their over-representation in the criminal justice system. The explanation provided in your documentation, to the near exclusion of all others, is univariate: the problems of the black community are caused by [[white]]s, or, when whites are not physically present, by the infiltration of [[white supremacy]] and white [[systemic racism]] into American brains, souls, and institutions.

Many cogent objections to this thesis have been raised by sober voices, including from within the black community itself, such as [[Thomas Sowell]] and Wilfred Reilly. These people are not racists or ‘[[Uncle Tom]]s’. They are intelligent scholars who reject a narrative that strips black people of agency and systematically externalizes the problems of the black community onto outsiders. Their view is entirely absent from the departmental and UCB-wide communiques.
