S. Steven Powell wrote in his 1987 book, Covert Cadre, that the revolutionary activity advocated by Marxist Antonio Gramsci involved the need to infiltrate autonomous institutionsschools, media, churches, public-interest groupsso as radically to transform the culture, which determines the environment in which political and economic policies are played out. Or, as Carl Boggs, author of Gramscis Marxism wrote, the role of revolutionary theory is to create the foundation of a new socialist order precisely through the negation and transcendence of bourgeois society. This transcendence of bourgeois society, Boggs explains, was the basis for Gramscis first prioritythe multi-dimensional transformation of civil society.
The key to Gramscis formula for revolution centered on the idea of breaking what he called the hegemony or mind-control exercised by the ruling capitalists over the masses. Bourgeois societies were ruled, Gramsci believed, by educating the citizenry that their accommodation of the moral, political, and cultural values defined by the governing system was in their best interests. Hence, Gramsci designed a reversal strategy that would silently challenge the existing culture and value-systems that dominated bourgeois governance. That is to say, his formula was based on an ideological struggle that would transform a whole range of activities in civil society, including Judeo-Christian values, the family, schools, unions, and politics and popular trust in the existing government.
There are ten easy steps toward a progressive-socialist-Marxist civil society: change the popular consensus; destroy Christianity, the traditional family, and existing social mores; transform the culture; install a radical Left mind-control; attain political power; impose strict control of the military and law enforcement; restrict freedom; socialize the economy; erase American sovereignty; and embrace a world without borders.
Four political arenas have been constructed by the progressive-socialist-Marxist Left to format or erase Americas collective brain and install a mind-control program into what is to......

Heres what it is supposed to be, pass it on
The video is a description of the 5 supposed forms of government, from 100% government control (Communism, fascism, totalitarianism etc) to 0% government (anarchy) it obliterates all forms of government as only temporary and futile except for 2, oligarchy and republic. It does this in a clear concise manner, which effectively shows even a grade schooler about them. It then, in the last few moments, explains Rome, its beginning as a republic, and its morph into a democracy. The parallels are well put, and clearly where this country is today. It is an excellent way to spread the word to those who have never been taught proper history, and that is alot of people since they have been re writing it for so long now.
I have been posting this sucker all over all day, and sometimes I forget that some are stuck at work, so I have included the above basic description of the video, however it does not do the video justice. I beg, implore and urge all to view it who have not. THIS is the reason we are so angry. Taxes are a symptom, losing our republic is the disease!!!!!

Excellent article. Thanks for finding and posting.

The DHS is concerned with disgruntled American Vets,
and George Soros has a free hand to twist our country
into his image. He should be considered enemy no. #1.
I don't think they "seized" control. I think the Dems were complicit in the takeover. Most Dems are control freaks. Moving the Democrat party to the left, to a more Totalitarian organization, simply appeals to that kind of person.
Whether it's Nancy Pelosi, or the garden-variety Obama voter; they all know, in their perverted little minds, that the world would be a better place, if they could just control everyone else.
Why would anyone want to be in charge of a big pile of crap? That’s all that will be left when they’re through.
I will never understand how those people think.
It is difficult for a sane person to understand the mind of the mentally ill, unless you study them, intently.
I have long said that the Democrats (Socialists) want to destroy the US, so they can take control of it. Since they are elitists, they don't expect their own lifestyles to decline. Peasantry is for everyone else.
How Obama Revolution Came To America
bump
Take a look at Cuba. It's like a petri dish, innoculated with their ideal, mouldering away right under our noses for fifty years. Nothing really more than fourteenth century feudalism. 'Authentic' and 'orderly'. Our pile of crap is their heaven on earth. Honest.
This is why school vouchers are so important. We must break the Marxist death-grip on schooling.
The real question is, what can be done to stop the Marxist cabal of Soros/Obama (I put Soros’ name first since he is pulling Obama’s strings)?
I’m afraid the American sheeple aren’t going to “get it” until it’s too late.
