Pete Buttigieg's father was a Marxist professor who lauded the Communist Manifesto

The father of Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg was a Marxist professor who spoke fondly of the Communist Manifesto and dedicated a significant portion of his academic career to the work of Italian Communist Party founder Antonio Gramsci, an associate of Vladimir Lenin.

Joseph Buttigieg, who died in January at the age of 71, immigrated to the U.S. in the 1970s from Malta and in 1980 joined the University of Notre Dame faculty, where he taught modern European literature and literary theory. He supported an updated version of Marxism that jettisoned some of Marx and Engel's more doctrinaire theories, though he was undoubtedly Marxist.

He was an adviser to Rethinking Marxism, an academic journal that published articles “that seek to discuss, elaborate, and/or extend Marxian theory,” and a member of the editorial collective of Boundary 2, a journal of postmodern theory, literature, and culture. He spoke at many Rethinking Marxism conferences and other gatherings of prominent Marxists.

I saw this posted on the FR FB Group and yes it is from April 2019 but I did not know this.

Oh no, please tell me it isn't so/s

Proving yet again that the ONLY good Commie is a DEAD Commie.

[BenLurkin]

bttt

[BuffaloJack]

This certainly explains a lot.
So the dems have at least 2 hard commies wanting to be president.

Thanks for the info on Papa Pete.

Like Obamas relation to Reverend Wright this will not be brought up, but some inane item remotely associated with Trump, still not true, will be front page news.

The MSM are traitors to our country.

[newfreep]

ALL the DNC candidates are communists hiding behind various brand names.

[simpson96]

Well surprise, surprise...

[Russ]

Another commie pretending to be a centrist. But you will never hear about his family background from CNN.

[DanielRedfoot]

For the average voting democrat, thats a resume enhancement...

[wastoute]

Mayor Pete knows he can’t win the nomination. Black women...blah, blah. But he CAN drop out with enough cash to guarantee his next job is Representative. He can’t still be in the race at the end because on the off chance he DOES win the nomination losing to Trump kills his career. “No second acts and all that”. By the way what ever did become of Dukakis?

[Ann Archy]

How Convenient that he just died at 71.

[reg45]

So the two leading Democrats are a Communist and the son of a Communist, accounting for over fifty percent of the ballots cast at the Iowa caucuses.

Imagine the Marxist immersion little Petey got while growing up in that household. Did Daddy forget to tell him that homosexuality was a bourgeois perversion?

[gibsonguy]

Wrong, he can win the Nomination.

[Candor7]

I wonder if daddy converted Pete to sodomy by butt rogering him at an early age? Commie’s have done that and worse to gain converts in the past.

[Howie66]

“.....Against ALL Enemies, Foreign And Domestic.....”

It’s just a question of WHEN.

[independentmind]

Trust me, Mayor Pete is in for the long haul. If not in 2020, then in 2024.

I know someone who is currently working on his campaign.

[gloryblaze]

I see Pete took a lesson from Obama and wrote a memoir, too.
