In academia, has the monster the left created broken free?

In the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey, the computer HAL 9000 jumped the boundaries its creators set and took control of the vessel, killing most of the crew. Are we seeing a similar situation as the little campus Marxists, the ones whom the Democrats’ elites and intelligentsia created, burst out of their academic confines? Have their little minions escaped the lab, much as COVID-19 escaped Wuhan? As it turns out, the revolutionaries have broken free, but it turns out that they and their creators are as one.

Or is it a smokescreen to mislead the public and to stall for time? Let’s explore.

Antonio Gramsci’s ideas, from his Long March Through the Institutions, posited that it’s the West’s mainstream cultural institutions that set the tone for a nation and that whoever controls them controls the culture. Wikipedia summarizes the idea this way:

Gramsci is best known for his theory of cultural hegemony, which describes how the state and ruling capitalist class — the bourgeoisie — use cultural institutions to maintain power in capitalist societies. In Gramsci’s view, the bourgeoisie develops a hegemonic culture using ideology rather than violence, economic force, or coercion.

We have intellectuals teaching this Marxist worldview to impressionable teenagers at our cultural institutions (K-12 and university). These professors, flattered by living in their own little self-praising bubbles, mistakenly think that they are the vanguard of the revolution without realizing that they are the surrogates indoctrinating on behalf of global Marxism.

The problem for universities is that The Revolution always eats its own. In a major example, Mao turned the Chinese youth (Red Guards) against the very educators and intellectuals who likely had taught them Maoism because Mao understood the ultimate danger that the intellectual class posed to his regime.

The campus protests are organized and led by paid community organizers and agents provocateur of the Professional Left.

Many of the groups involved are funded by entities such as NGOs, “charities and non profits like The Tides Foundation and people like George Soros.

Much of the money is from foreign money sources controlled, at least in part, by Barak Obama

They are totally controlled and carefully stage managed events by long time paid professional operatives of the professional left. They are very well funded and are the direct action street violence arm of the Democrat Party. .

all IMHO:

the campus “protesters”...
1. have same signs on all campuses
2. have same anti-American and anti-Semitic chants
3. mostly have same pup tents
4. have same offensive propaganda shirts
5. use same aggressive and intimidating and threatening tactics
6. all of a sudden seem to have tons of money for it all, including food and supplies
7. don’t give a damn about flunking out of “their classes”
8. don’t give a damn about getting arrested and a criminal record

it is all organized (pre-organized, in advance given just how fast it was deployed)

it is all paid for by the same source(e)

it is precisely the same street gang, thugster tactics as used by the communists in 1917 russia

it is precisely the same street gang, thugster tactics as used by the nazis in 1930’s germany

it is precisely the same street gang, thugster tactics as used by other SorozNazi-organized and funded gangs like BLM, the several Occupy mobs, and Antifa

there have already been news reports that SorozNazi front organizations are funding, organizing these campus gangsters

my bet is that almost all of this krap is just another SorozNazi disruption and destablizing of America attack

but it could certainly have Iranian and Arab funding too

if America is to survive, this kind of heavily-funded and well-organized sedition needs to be stopped
