Cass Sunstein hasn't changed his spots at all, he understands you use incrementalism to achieve their long term Marxist goals...
Unlike the soviet style Marxism enforced by the muzzle of a gun, he knows he needs to change the culture to achieve their goals step by step
He sees the progressive left has started jumping the shark with all their hyperbole rhetoric about race and all their "causes"
There is a push back coming from Americans and he knows it will be a step back on their march to the glorious socialist utopia they envision...
Always remember: “the issue is never the issue; the issue is always the revolution"
Anything with the “muzzle of a gun” is Marxism by definition, violent and “revolutionary” in nature. The other type of socialism, using “gradual reforms” after slipping into government, is Fabianism. Both of course have the same goal, and both get rid of those that establish the dictatorship first.
