A historical model tracing how humanity's ultimate authority figure has evolved: from Polytheistic gods (multiple, chaotic, like Greek myths), to Monotheistic God (one, absolute, providing universal order, like in Christianity/Islam), to the modern "gods" of Science & Atheism (where logic, data, and human reason are the new sources of dogma). Jiang argues each stage centralizes more abstract and powerful control over human thought and morality. The current "Age of Science" is just another religion with its own priesthood (academics), heretics (climate deniers), and promise of salvation (technological utopia).
Example: "Religious Power Evolution Theory says wokeism is the new monotheism: there's one original sin (oppression), a clear devil (the racist/sexist), a path to salvation (allyship), and an inquisition (cancel culture). It's not science; it's theology with a sociology degree."

An educational organization dedicated to raising the class consciousness of the working class. Its curriculum teaches Marxist theory, labor history, the mechanics of exploitation (surplus value), and strategies for organization and solidarity. Its goal is not neutral education but ideological armament, transforming workers from a "class in itself" (defined by economic position) to a "class for itself" (aware of its collective power and revolutionary potential).
Foundation for Proletariat Education Example: The foundation might run "Solidarity Schools" in deindustrialized towns, teaching not just the history of union busting, but also how to analyze their own workplace for leverage points, how to use mutual aid networks, and how digital platforms extract data as a new form of proletarianization.

An institution promoting a broad understanding of socialist principles, history, and models beyond the Soviet clichés. It covers democratic socialism, market socialism, anarcho-syndicalism, and the successes/failures of various experiments. It aims to demystify socialism for a general public steeped in anti-socialist propaganda and to provide a robust intellectual toolkit for envisioning a post-capitalist future.
Foundation for Socialist Education *Example: Its popular online course, "Socialism 101: Not Just Stalin," might include modules on the kibbutz movement, the Yugoslav workers' self-management model, Bolivia's plurinational socialism, and modern participatory budgeting schemes, presenting socialism as a diverse, living tradition.*

A more ideologically specific and radical institution focused on the theories of Marx, Engels, Lenin, and later thinkers, with the explicit aim of preparing cadres for revolutionary struggle and the construction of a communist society. Education is rigorous, dialectical, and combines theory with practical organizing skills. It is unapologetically partisan, seeing education as a key front in the class war.
Foundation for Communist Education Example: The foundation's flagship program could be a clandestine, intensive "Cadre School," where students live communally, studying Capital by day and practicing digital security, community defense, and agitational propaganda techniques by night, viewing themselves as future architects of a revolution.

An educational project rooted in anarchist and libertarian socialist traditions, focusing on the practical and philosophical knowledge needed to build and sustain autonomous communes, intentional communities, and directly democratic assemblies. It teaches conflict resolution, consensus decision-making, ecological stewardship, and communal economics, emphasizing prefigurative politics—building the new society in the shell of the old.
Foundation for Communal Education Example: The foundation might operate a "Communal Lab"—a network of rural and urban land projects where participants learn hands-on skills in permaculture, off-grid energy, cooperative management, and horizontal assembly governance, embodying the education it preaches.

The application of Critical Theory to evolutionary biology and related fields—examining how evolutionary stories reflect social values, how they've been used to justify hierarchy, and how they might be told differently. Critical Theory of Evolutionary Sciences asks: Why do we emphasize competition over cooperation? How have evolutionary explanations been used to naturalize patriarchy, racism, or class inequality? Could evolution be told as a story of mutual aid, plasticity, and possibility? It doesn't deny evolution but insists that evolutionary narratives are never just science—they're also stories, and stories have politics.
"They say competition is natural—look at evolution. Critical Theory of Evolutionary Sciences asks: look at all the cooperation in nature, too. Why emphasize competition? Because it serves capitalist ideology. Evolution happened, but the stories we tell about it reflect our values. Critical theory insists on telling different stories—stories of solidarity, not just survival of the fittest."

The application of Critical Theory to evolutionary psychology—examining its assumptions about human nature, its methods for inferring ancestral environments, and its political implications. Critical Theory of Evolutionary Psychology asks: Are evolutionary stories just-so stories? Do they naturalize contemporary social arrangements? How does evolutionary psychology handle cultural variation? Whose interests are served by claims that patriarchy, violence, or greed are "evolved"? It doesn't deny evolution but insists that claims about our evolutionary past must be scrutinized for evidence, alternative explanations, and political context.
"They claim men are naturally aggressive—therefore patriarchy is natural. Critical Theory of Evolutionary Psychology asks: what's the evidence? How much cultural variation? Could the same data support different stories? Evolution happened, but the stories we tell about it reflect our present, not just our past. Critical theory examines the politics behind the prehistory."
