To: savagesusie; wintertime

Savagesusie - great, great points that I know wintertime will like to read. I would so love it if you would write an article with details about all of the above - quotes and such. It would be perfect for FR so people see specifically not just the techniques but the sources of this mindrot.

Mental shackles are the worst. They’re invisible, and people identify with their conditioning.

To: little jeremiah
I am almost ready to write....I am studying Natural Law Theory and Music Theory, concurrently, and have a few months left in those areas, plus a major project that is due by Oct. Right now I just practice writing (and thinking) on FR. Practice is a key in writing, although I admit...my editing is extremely rushed right now and time constrained.

Education is the key.

Many people have already written exhaustive accounts on education and Marxist worldview infiltration --like the Long March by Kimball and EK Eakman's Coning of the American Mind and, of course, the most important, The Closing of the American Mind by Allan Bloom which gets down to the foundation of ideas and where they originate.

Knowledge is power. People should understand philosophy and why they think as they do. Emotion has to be subservient to the intellect. Marxism puts emotions above it--a postmodernist idea which had roots in Modernism but crushes the thousands of years of tradition of Natural Law Theory (US foundation and Common Sense) and twists human "rights" into something bizarre and irrational which only leads to a type of slavery for everyone. Marxism is the road to serfdom (slavery).
