No kidding! And the CCP seems to "own" many of our politicians including Xao Bi-Dung.

An economics professor lays out how America got to the sad state we're in.
A few months ago, I was asked to write a book review for an American Thinker reader named Leslie Stein, an associate professor of economics at the University of Macquarie, in Sydney, Australia. He has written four books in total, including the one he asked me to review, called The Undermining of Western Civilization. This book is timely and pertinent, to say the least.
This book comes in the midst of an all-out Marxist assault on Western civilization. As Stein notes, this Marxist assault by all manner of intersectional communist revolutionaries in America and Western societies in general is hardly new. Rather, he writes, the left has been conducting a "long march through the institutions" of Western society, and America in particular, dating all the way back to the 1960s. Stein marks the radical cultural Marxist movements of the 1960s as the beginning of the war on the West, an enduring war of attrition on Western morale that has been raging unabated since then.
Stein documents the entire history and evolution of what we now call "wokism," beginning in the 1960s with radical Marxist student groups on college campuses around the United States, including the Students for a Democratic Society, the Black Panthers, and the Weather Underground organization — groups that doubled as terrorist organizations who waged war with the police and blew up federal buildings, all in an attempt to foment a communist revolution. They, collectively, were known as the "New Left."
He then demonstrates how the radical left actually managed to capture the institutions — by using tactics all too familiar to the modern American reader. They bullied, harassed, threatened, and committed violence against anyone who posed a threat to their ideology

The goal is to burn down western civilization. These are truly evil people.
Shot through the heart
And I know who to blame
I believe that leftism is the ideology of the antichrist — but it and he will burn forever in the lake of fire.
(I’ve read the end of the Book and know Who wins in the end.)
The left will have their fun — but afterwards the judgment.
Ps. 37,73, and 94

CRT came from Critical Social theory a marxist text as with the rest of marxism, written for the purpose of destroying the west.
The O-Biden administration has been aggressively attacking free market capitalism as they pursue their goal of transforming this country into a Marxist based socialist country. Everything they do is right out of the Marxist playbook. They started on day one to put our economy in the dirt, starting with the frontal attack on energy production and distribution. That sowed the seeds of inflation, and it’s been downhill from there.
Marxists can be counted on to not only attack our free market economy, they have also attacked our religion (Marxism is to be the religion), our historical icons like the Founding Fathers (Marx and Lenin are to be our idols), and the list goes on. The environmental movement is the new home of Marxism. They use the environment as an excuse to pursue their Marxist agenda. Khrushchev in his 1959 speech said their would be a gradual move to communism and a socialist state without firing a shot. I fear he may have been right.
Thanks. The book and author sound like a valuable contribution. It isn’t clear from the article description if the book covers this, but don’t leave out the media’s role in the destruction of the west. “Respectable” media voices made the destruction possible by hiding or explaining away the left’s crimes, while giving the left a megaphone to bombard us with their unchallenged messages of hate that found fertile ground in the weak-minded.
The Left’s biggest “accomplishments” have been dumbing down the populace, degrading our culture, and eroding the underpinnings and principles of a once great country. That was the foundation they needed to do everything else.
“—An America shot through with Marxism—
I totally agree. I also think that now we are fully into a post-Constitutional age and a very dis-united nation, we should change the very untruthful name from,
The United States of America
to something that that more truthfully reflects what we are as a people. Maybe the SSA.
The Socialist States of America.
You have to admit it is not only fitting, but has a very modern ring to it.
Free trade with a communist nation and offshoring of vital industry. The rest was easy.

Yuri Bezmenov warned us.
They followed Gramsci’s advice to take the “long march through the institutions” and they’ve achieved spectacular success in doing so.
I can’t think of a single institution that they don’t control.
Here’s an excellent video covering that.

Think they are burning down their own culture, we will be happy making them EVs in rural austin. They are not reproducing, not forming businesses, do not know how to invest, urban areas are not natural resource rich, they as progressives are not doing much and do not have a good relationship with the police or military state. Just got to cut them off from their funding.... enviromental investing, china, EU media will collapse under 1 leader politics that are dead end now.
“He then demonstrates how the radical left actually managed to capture the institutions — by using tactics all too familiar to the modern American reader. They bullied, harassed, threatened, and committed violence against anyone who posed a threat to their ideology (namely, prominent conservative speakers) and installed pseudo-intellectuals in positions of authority on college campuses, while also creating entire fields of study out of whole cloth — fields that had no intellectual value at all and were purely driven by left-wing politics, like gender studies and black studies.”
He missed the most important aspect of their strategy - capturing the high moral ground. They always managed to paint themselves as the defenders of the downtrodden, the poor, the blacks, mother earth - all the “oppresseds”. And they were able to sell their propaganda to millions of soft-hearted and soft-minded useful idiots thus gaining popular support.
And that strategy is still working like a charm today with no effective strategy on the right to dislodge them from their moral high ground.
The Wrath of God is upon America and you haven’t seen anything yet.

They run and own the media. That was one of the first institution they took over.
You have to stop being disappointed by something that no longer exists.
Good point. And now the left’s “downtrodden” are becoming the tyrants. Someone cleverer than me would be able to politically jiu-jitsu this into recapturing the moral high-ground.
