What NBC felt necessary was to trot out a historical definition to hide what contemporary Marxists are really about: radical transformation of society and values by taking over institutions and groups (like, taking over a national Library association and using it to push gender BS).

NBC wants the woman’s profession of Marxist belief to come across as a harmless academic interest. “Oh, she’s into a 19th political theory that “critiques” capitalism and “analyzes” class relations — how boring and obscure”. They don’t want you to notice she is advocating a virulent totalitarian ideology.

Marxism is a political theory developed by German philosopher Karl Marx in the 19th century that critiques capitalism and analyzes class relations, and influenced many communist regimes.

Influenced many? MANY??? Which ones WEREN’T ???

Marxist lesbian? Two strikes! It is no coincidence that the far left - Marxism, communism - attracts these damaged people.

Defund the public library.

We have to burn the village to save it.

She said she wants to make sure that the LBGTQ community and Black people see themselves reflected in the books on their library shelves.

Libraries are limited in shelf-space. By the left's definition, she will have to ban books already on the shelves to make from for the new ones.

This has been the subject of reports for some time:
Breitbart News Network
https://www.breitbart.com/tech/2022/04/22/ - Dewey Decimal Disaster: Apr 22, 2022. The American Library Association has elected City University of New York Graduate Center librarian and self-proclaimed “Marxist lesbian” Emily Drabinski as its president for the 2022-23 term.

Both of those groups are already noted daily in the nightly news, maybe for different reasons.

"She said she wants to make sure that the LBGTQ community and Black people see themselves reflected in the books on their library shelves."

Why? Perhaps it will be the catalyst that moves them to repent? I think it is highly unlikely. One thing it will do is promote their lifestyle as a normal (ie good) choice for others to emulate...young and impressionable children. The proof is in an wverincreasing amount of weak minded people who are incapable of separating fact from fiction. Why else are trans people more common than lefthanded people?
