I had a Poly Sci professor, a dedicated communist, who believed Gramsci was the architect of Western Socialism. He traced the thinking of the intellectuals at the Frankfurt School and later at American universities back to Gramsci. The socialists planned and executed their revolution right under our noses, taking over Western institutions without firing a shot.

The takeover of the left in higher education really began in the early 60’s. By a stroke of luck, the counterculture of hippies, and the wholesale trashing of all of our institutions greatly aided the left in their bid to control
thought in our universities.
