these commies ideals are trojan horses. ideas disguised as benevolent and that fix some perceived injustice in the world with the hidden scope of dismantling strong cooperation between humans making them slaves to State.
Communist? As in someone for a classless society after capitalism? There are overlaps in those who profess belief in that and the "DEI" cited in the link, but it is important to note the distinction between the two.
Communism could also be argued to strengthen actual human connections over the ones destroyed in service of the economy and the State that is ultimately in charge of managing that economy.
These are no doubt broad statements without hundreds of years of nuance, but I think that "DEI" being communist for having a plot to destroy human connections in service to the "State" is false. I don't disagree with the disastrous effects that "DEI" can have, and I think it speaks of an economic system in decline, cognizant of its failures but unable to address them in any other way.

The greatest thing with Diversity and Inclusion: you can't openly be against it or suggest that the bar was lowered for someone. So instead it's discussed behind closed doors, and you hear things like "You know X is here for the right reasons. He went to Y and is Asian so you know he's qualified".
It actually ends up hurting minorities in the short and long term.

Lets just consider the message of the ideology of sex, race, gender, and etc by which we are to judge an individual. How wicked a philosophy that promotes the external characteristics, those that one does not chose or influence, to the highest of standards.
What Im missing in many of such articles thought is the logical fallacy exposure: that is, one cannot discriminate against an individual based on such values, and exactly by the same token, one cannot discriminate for in individual based using these, especially when it concerns government or social institutions (we know where that goes, been there done that, humanity). Despite this, the exact opposite standard is held today. The only value by which to hold an individual to a standard that can erase the disgusting institutionalized racism, sexism, and other -isms is, competence.
As the physicist extraordinaire, S. Weinberg, wrote: “I will seek the best candidates, without regard to race or sex.”
Also I would add that the comments under that article are also a delight of a dialogue of various opinions.
