Just watched an in depth presentation on English history and the professor noted that there are allegations being made that Shakespeare was not the author of the works which are attributed to him. The professor said there is proof from other writers, and he listed a few of them, that published at the time that Shakespeare did, and indeed. Shakespeare did exist and write those plays.
This is nothing but Marxist tripe to discredit Western Civilization and freedom and Capitalism. They are trying to destroy Christianity and the Natural Family—then they destroy the two pillars that made Western Civilization the most independent and free cultures which threw out government tyrannies.
One way to destroy culture is to destroy and marginalize all the heroes—esp. for the children. It is Shakespeare’s turn to be dragged into their sewer.
This kinda weird conspiracy theorist attack on Shakespeare has been going on since the mid-19th c or before. Not a peep or suspicion out of ANYONE prior to that, and every extant source sez he wrote his own plays (he collaborated with more than one well-known and prolific, younger playwrite near the end of his career; of “Cardenio”, only one scene and the musical scoring survives), and no one is known to have made any claims against him prior to that time. Whatever it may have become in the current times, this conspiracy theory began as an puff of elistist snobbery, but penned by someone who was not the least part of the elite.
Not all of them.
No one could call Joseph Sobran a Marxist. He used to write for National Review. He died in 2010.
