Dear Askel5,
For many years, I thought you were a bit of a nut. A very INTELLIGENT nut, but a nut nonetheless. Your constant harping about Gramscian politics was, to my mind, weird a little paranoid.
It turns out you were one hundred percent right. The move to destroy America has been very below-the-surface, highly organized, and extremely effective ... and the model has been, indeed, Antonio Gramsci's.
From the work Notes on Saul Alinsky and Neo-Marxism:
Remember that the primary influence for Obama's strategy comes from Saul Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals." With that in mind..."Alinsky's tactics were based, not on Stalin's revolutionary violence, but on the Neo-Marxist strategies of Antonio Gramsci, an Italian Communist. Relying on gradualism, infiltration and the dialectic process rather than a bloody revolution, Gramsci's transformational Marxism was so subtle that few even noticed the deliberate changes.
Like Alinsky, Mikhail Gorbachev followed Gramsci, not Lenin. In fact, Gramsci aroused Stalins's wrath by suggesting that Lenin's revolutionary plan wouldn't work in the West. Instead the primary assault would be on Biblical absolutes and Christian values, which must be crushed as a social force before the new face of Communism could rise and flourish. Malachi Martin gave us a progress report:
"By 1985, the influence of traditional Christian philosophy in the West was weak and negligible.... Gramsci's master strategy was now feasible. Humanly speaking, it was no longer too tall an order to strip large majorities of men and women in the West of those last vestiges that remained to them of Christianity's transcendent God."
This excerpt is the bread-and-meat section that tells me that you were prescient and well-versed in the tactics of our enemy. If there is any excuse on my part, I have only one: That which Matt Bracken refers to as the 'normality bias'. I am biased, as are most, to believe things will 'stay normal' and to discount sweeping conspiracies.
But I have awoken. Is it too late, I do not know. Can one man make a difference, I am unsure. Will it get much worse in America, absolutely.
So, this is an open letter to you to acknowledge my being incorrect, you being correct, and to ask you what a nation does to unwind this horrifying and seemingly inexorable push to Marxist/Fascist control.
Yours,
Laz

You should enjoy life more. Take some risks. Bite a zombie, for example: They are NOT expecting that.
Biting a zombie.
Last thing they would ever expect.
You're welcome. Keep up the good work.
ETL,
Thanks for the ping and links. I found it interesting how many ignored that remark by Putin.
I could not get the link to the article by Beichman to work, but found this one:
http://www.hoover.org/publications/hoover-digest/article/6632
(It looks like the web site was reorganized.)
Also I found an online link for the Black Book of Communism:

Read online or download free
“You’re not going to ping him?”
He’s a her.
Thanks very much for the alert on the link no longer working, a new link for it, and for the link to the book download. I’ll most definitely add it to my collection.
Hey Laz, I read that you have a great ping list (from you actually..lol).
May I be added sir?
I only picked this thread because it was the first one I could find with your name on it.
You will be added to both Rage Monkey and Editorial!
Hey.... I was kinda busy on the one day you were here... can we communicate somehow? I want to strategize a long term solution to the Gramscian conundrum we are in.
Thank you Laz! I’m sure it will be yet another “satisfied customer”. Have a good weekend.
:) Look for 1-3 new Rage Monkeys and at least 1 editorial. :)
