it’s growing and it will eventually destroy, as it seeks to destroy, everything that we have ever defined as our freedom and our culture.

He doesn’t require them to read a lot of heavy Marxism and tells them everything they want to hear which is essentially, "Do your own thing," "If it feels good do it," and "You never have to go to work." By the way, Marcuse is also the man who creates the phrase, "Make love, not war." Coming back to the situation people face on campus, Marcuse defines "liberating tolerance" as intolerance for anything coming from the Right and tolerance for anything coming from the Left. Marcuse joined the Frankfurt School, in 1932 (if I remember right). So, all of this goes back to the 1930s.

Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment

For Frederick Weil, the founder of The Frankfurt School, substitute George Soros. For the Frankfurt School, substitute the Saul Alinsky school. For the Saul Alinsky school, substitute MoveOn.org. For any of these institutions, substitute Acorn. For the Manchurian Candidate, substitute Barak Obama. For Saul Alinsky and George Soros, substitute Goldfinger.

You can move any person into any institution and they all seem to fit.

This should be required reading for every conservative.

This is good stuff and correctly identifies the tumor from which our current liberalist cancer metastasized. Gramsci’s lies and the Frankfurters need to be eradicated and their disciples purged from our power structure.

Yes, I saw a lot of this first-hand, and I’m familiar with the various forms of postmodernist “theory.”

This is, unfortunately, correct.

What, you might ask, were these guys doing in the OSS, the predecessor to the CIA? Well, just keep in mind that FDR was running the show back then, with his Communist sympathies and friends, and Hitler was invariably defined as a “rightest” or a “conservative,” although that was clearly untrue. When I was a child I believed it myself, and only came to understand what “National Socialism” meant much later.

[IronJack]

By the way, Critical Theory also masquerades under names like Deconstructionism, Revisionism, and Post-Modernism. Whenever you see inane rejection of a perfectly valid status quo, look for a marxist behind it. The marxist’s response to “If it works, don’t fix it” is “Nothing works.”

If I could say a word . . . This piece (and so many like them) floats on a sort of Star Wars fascination with the powers of the Dark Side.

Or maybe this is better way of saying it: why always this fascination for the prostitute, the skilled scrutiny that yields the finest prose when wishing her dead, and not much at all to say about the wife.

One of these days writers will realize that what’s Gramscian is talk about them, even if it comes in the form criticism.

Conservatives give the enemy press.

I have said it for years: Political Correctness WILL destory this nation.

I defer to Mr. Lincoln:

““Shall we expect some transatlantic military giant to step the ocean and crush us at a blow? Never! All the armies of Europe, Asia, and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Bonaparte for a commander, could not by force take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years. At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us, it must spring up amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction were our lot, we must ourselves be its author and finisher. As a nation of freemen, we must live through all time, or die by suicide.”

We will die by suicide. The bullet will be PC.

Herbert Marcuse, who remained here, saw the 60s student rebellion as the great chance.

Some like to blame the boomers and the sixties for all the ills that wormed their way into US society since that time. But this article correctly points out that the Marxist/communist/socialist, or whatever sickness had its origins between the world wars, and that the 'leaders' during the sixties, years older that the boomers, were already in place and ready to take advantage of the opportunities presented by those turbulent years.

And the protesters and hippies were never the brave young moralists they've claimed to be, but were a gang of self-absorbed, spoiled and petty kids whose behavior in those years led to all sorts of disasters both in the US and for the people of Southeast Asia. They were the willing tools and dupes of those leftist extremists who'd been waiting for the right opportunity to cause harm to the US, and to advance their leftist causes.

P.C. reminds me a lot of Maos little red book’’ we used to hear about in the 60’s. Will we ever learn.

(I would note that conservatism correctly understood is not an ideology)

And yet, conservatism without God becomes just that: another ideology. And therefore, merely another version of liberalism.
