'Mayor Pete' is Antonio Gramsci's perfect socialist vehicle for cultural destruction
American Thinker ^ | 05/21/2019 | Peter Skurkiss

In a significant way, "Mayor Pete" Buttigieg is the embodiment of his father Joseph — and, by extension, Antonio Gramsci.

Buttigieg Senior was a professor of critical theory and the relationship between culture and politics at Notre Dame University from 1980 until his retirement in 2017.  (The man, a smoker who wouldn't quit, died of lung cancer in 2019.)  Academically, Joseph Buttigieg spent his entire professional life editing the journals of Antonio Gramsci.  According to a N.D. alumni newsletter, Professor Buttigieg's work on Gramsci has been spread far and wide, with his work having been translated into German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Japanese. 

Gramsci needs no introduction.  He was a Marxist philosopher and sometime politician.  He's noteworthy for redirecting the Marxist subversion of societies from the economy to instead focus on culture.  Gramsci's premise was that if the Marxists could rot out the culture, society would fall into their laps.  In this regard, Gramsci's idea has been tremendously successful.  It unleashed the kulturkampf (culture war) against traditionalism, the family, love of country, and most of all, religion.  Their weapons are insidious ideas like multiculturalism, social justice, and identity politics.

In America, the basic aim of the cultural Marxists was (and still is) to replace Christianity as the nation's bedrock with the new secular religion of the progressives.

According to E. Michael Jones in his book Home Alone; A Neighbor's Thoughts on Pete Buttigieg

Buttigieg père was no scholar, but he was a world class academic schemer; his implementation of Gramsci's theory of cultural subversion at Notre Dame won him an endowed chair in spite of the fact that his only book in the Notre Dame library is a warmed over doctorial dissertation on James Joyce which was full of modernistic clichés he would later ridicule after his conversion to post-modernism,

Antonio Gramsci ( like Saul Alinsky ) believed in cultural change via INCREMENTALISM.

By gaining national recognition by having thrown his hat into the Democrat presidential primary, Mayor Pete is advancing the cause of cultural Marxism.

By being in a homosexual union, which he calls a marriage, the high visibility thus accruing to Buttigieg and his so-called husband can only further desensitize the country to the type of arrangements such as theirs. The image of a homosexual first “family” in the future is the logical extension from Buttigieg’s campaign.

In this regard, Buttigieg is a symbol and role model who will adversely affect many. And this is how the Marxists advance their agenda — incrementally, one step at a time.

Yep that’s what’s going on here.

They found a homosexual who is “married” to a man, who has some military service, and who does not behave as a stereotypical “flaming” homosexual.

Would the anonymous (to the rest of the country) mayor of a small midwestern city, be pushed as a major presidential candidate, if he were not a homosexual????

Buttigieg Jr. wants a Wealth Tax. A Wealth Tax is communistic. Buttigieg is a communist. Buttigieg is a homosexual communist.

Go read what Carlos the Jackal wrote....he too was a scholar...lol... but be wrote the words of his ilk, that marxism by itself was not strong enough to bring down the west, nor was islam; however an alliance could.

Thus the the death to America, marxist muslim poster boy, ever smiley, BHO (and his embedded players), and their agenda that President Trump has to uproot.

So regardless of whether Pete becomes the nominee, or the VP running mate, he’s making some history here, by being the first major candidate (as anointed by the media) for president who is an open homosexual. That status is definitely pushing the leftist agenda.

His gayness is obscuring the fact that his Communist roots run just as deeply as Obama’s did.

Mayor Pete does not stand a snowball’s chance in hell of getting elected. Catholic Hispanics and most African-Americans will not vote for a white gay man period...They will stay home or possibly vote for Trump...

The media is back to choosing our leaders for us. They want Mayor Pete because they see him as smart and knowledgeable in the military. We should be very leery of all those who the media support. Mayor Pete is no one, like Obama was no one before he became President. Neither were known by anyone, or did anything before President. They are making him into President because he speaks well. Mayor Pete is the swamps mouth piece as Obama was.

This certainly helps me understand WHO and WHAT Mr. Butt-gag Jr. is.
