Dr. Joseph Buttigieg was an avid proponent of the work of Antonio Gramsci, godfather of cultural marxism The late father of presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg was a proponent of the work of Antonio Gramsci, considered the godfather of cultural marxism. Gramsci rejected violent overthrow of capitalist governments in favor of gradual revolution through communist infiltration of the culture and societal structures, implementing socialism through what his disciple Rudi Dutschke called "the long march through the institutions."

The perfesser could have had all the Marxism he wanted back then; he didn’t need to emigrate to the US, could have tried the wonderlands of Soviet Russia, China, and the satellite countries. I remember being in Russia on business and some damned airhead prof told me he had not idea communism produced this, he had been a self-described “fellow traveler” supporting Marxism until he saw first hand what a human and economic disaster it was.

The fact the Marxist father was supported and sustained by Notre Dame, a supposedly Catholic University, speaks volumes about the effectiveness of Gramsci’s approach.

I found this WW2 movie on TCM this afternoon, it is very descriptive what this country could become under the ‘progressive democrat socialists’ like Buttgieg, Sanders, and the other pro-communists dem presidential candidates:

This Land Is Mine (1943) — A mild-mannered school-teacher in a Nazi-occupied town during W.W.II finds himself being torn between collaboration and resistance. It takes place in a Nazi occupied Great Britain:

With a father like that one wonders why he went into the military if not to infiltrate it.
