We didn’t win the cold war. If we had we wouldn’t have the Socialistic mess we have today. The social engineering here,the positive propaganda for Socialism,Communism,Fascism,or whatever it is, was going on long before the Communist collapse in the USSR. That helped get us into this mess. Are we to believe that the Communists suddenly gave up their ideology?
This started a long time ago,it didn’t happen in the past twenty or thirty years.
Absolutely not, and that's my point. The collapse of the USSR was just another chapter, not the end of the story. If anything it made the left more desperate and made them move up the timeline on the subversive efforts that were ongoing in the US for many years (as you point out). We did win the ‘cold war’ against the USSR, but not against communism.
Communism is fueled primarily by two factors: 1) ego, and 2) hatred/resentment. Marx was an egotistical jerk who hated ‘the system’. He's not unlike any other upper middle class university student who doesn't like what they envision as ‘authority’ and who have the luxury of being ‘intellectuals’ because someone else’s efforts are paying the bills. The best tools against communism are derision/humiliation and an economic war from the pocketbooks of those who would be the targets of ‘cultural revolution’ like the one in China. The first part targets the ego of the ‘progressive’ leaders who embrace ‘the cause’ as a way of elevating their importance in the world. It stokes their hatred/resentment to levels that causes them to implode (think Palin derangement syndrome). The second takes away their power to push their agenda.
The bigger ‘war’ of which you speak, the war against creeping ‘progressivism’ and ideological communism is real, and we have multiple enemies from within in this war. It's going to be a protracted and difficult war, but we will win, because socialism/communism is at its core idiotic.
