An America shot through with Marxism

Victimhood is the easy path and largely lasts forever.

Achievement/accomplishment is not only more difficult but can degrade with time.

Not a tough sale.

Having the media as your wing man has always been a huge advantage for the Left. It also helps to have academia and the entire federal bureaucracy in your corner.

Having said that, its important to remember that those with the greatest will to win usually do. The Left fights for what it wants (especially those who are willing to lie, cheat and steal). The Right doesn’t. Conservatives are mostly a passive lot, even when there’s a lot to lose. Their main focus is on their work, families and building something. The Left simply wants to tear things down.

Things will continue to go downhill for the country until such time that conservatives find a reason to stand up for themselves.

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.

It goes back a lot farther, to the days of the Soviet Revolution over a hundred years ago, aided by the socialist Fabian Society in England and the Socialist International insurgents. Slowly at first; gaining U.S. operatives during the Depression and its aftermath, picking up speed during the FDR years, and taking over universities and media since WW2.

An excellent history of communist incursion into the U.S. can be read in Fabian Freeway: High Road to Socialism in the U.S.A. by Rose L. Martin, a 1964 book so powerful it was suppressed and out of print for many years until recently. The above link to the Mises Institute page contains a further link to download the entire book as a .pdf file.
