Antonio
Gramsci’s writings gave Communists the tools they needed to transform the US
into a Communist Dictatorship.
Born in
obscurity on the island of Sardinia in 1891, Gramsci would not have been
considered a prime candidate to impact significantly the 20th century. Gramsci
studied philosophy and history at the University of Turin, and soon became a
dedicated Marxist, joining the Italian Socialist Party. Immediately after the
First World War, he established his own radical newspaper, The New Order, and shortly
afterwards helped in the founding of the Italian Communist Party.
Subverting
Christian Faith
The civilized
world, Gramsci deduced, had been thoroughly saturated with Christianity for
2,000 years and Christianity remains the dominant philosophical and moral
system in Europe and North America. Practically speaking, civilization and
Christianity were inextricably bound together.
Christianity had
become so thoroughly integrated into the daily lives of nearly everyone,
including non-Christians living in Christian lands, it was so pervasive, that
it formed an almost impenetrable barrier to the new, revolutionary civilization
Marxists wish to create. Attempting to batter down that barrier proved
unproductive, since it only generated powerful counter-revolutionary forces,
consolidating them and making them potentially deadly. Therefore, in place of
the frontal attack, how much more advantageous and less hazardous it would be
to attack the enemy's society subtly, with the aim of transforming the
society's collective mind gradually, over a period of a few generations, from
its former Christian worldview into one more harmonious to Marxism. And there
was more.
Steps
in the Process
The first phase
in achieving "cultural hegemony" over a nation is the undermining of
all elements of traditional culture. Churches are thus transformed into
ideology-driven political clubs, with the stress on "social justice"
and egalitarianism, with worship reduced to trivialized entertainment, and with
age-old doctrinal and moral teachings "modernized" or diminished to
the point of irrelevancy. Genuine education is replaced by
"dumbed-down" and "politically correct" curricula, and
standards are reduced dramatically. The mass media are fashioned into
instruments for mass manipulation and for harassing and discrediting
traditional institutions and their spokesmen. Morality, decency, and old virtues
are ridiculed without respite. Tradition-minded clergymen are portrayed as
hypocrites and virtuous men and women as prudish, stuffy, and unenlightened.
Culture is no
longer a buttress supporting the integrity of the national heritage and a
vehicle for imparting that heritage to future generations, but becomes a means
for "destroying ideals and ... presenting the young not with heroic
examples but with deliberately and aggressively degenerate ones," as
theologian Harold O.J. Brown writes. We see this in contemporary American life,
in which the great historical symbols of our nation's past, including great
presidents, soldiers, explorers, and thinkers, are shown to have been
unforgivably flawed with "racism" and "sexism" and
therefore basically evil. Their place has been taken by pro-Marxist charlatans,
pseudo-intellectuals, rock stars, leftist movie celebrities, and the like. At
another level, traditional Christian culture is condemned as repressive,
"Eurocentric," and "racist" and, thus, unworthy of our
continued devotion. In its place, unalloyed primitivism in the guise of
"multiculturalism" is held as the new model.
The
Frankfurt School
With respect to
the subject of the undermining of the American family, and to many other
aspects of the Gramscian technique, let us explore briefly the story of the
Frankfurt School. This organization of leftist intellectuals, also known as the
Frankfurt Institute for Social Research, was founded in the 1920s in Frankfurt
am Main, Germany. There it flourished amidst the decadence of the Weimar
period, both compounding and feeding off the decadence, and extending its
influence throughout the country.
With Hitler's acquisition of the chancellorship in
1933, the leftist stalwarts of the Frankfurt School fled Germany for the United
States, where they soon established a new institute at Columbia University. As
is characteristic of such men, they repaid their debt to the United States for
sheltering them from Nazi brutality by turning their attention to what they
regarded as the injustices and social deficiencies inherent to our system and
society. Immediately they set about devising a program of revolutionary reform
for America.
Comments
The
American Communist Party has achieved all 45 Goals they established in 1920 and
republished in 1968. They fed Socialist Bills from the Unions to the Democrats
in Congress. The bait was the promise of gaining cash and benefits from the
federal government in the form of redistribution. US voters were bribed.
The US
Constitution didn’t provide for these wealth redistribution schemes, so it had
to be discredited. Voters allowed this to happen despite the Founders’
warnings. Returning to the US Constitution (as written) is the best path back
to restoring our economy, our inalienable rights, our prosperity and our
freedom to be self-supporting.
