Can anybody name a square inch spot on the planet anywhere where Marxism has brought anything good? Anywhere? Certainly not in China, Russia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Cuba, Venezuela.
And now, Marxism is allegedly making inroads into the U.S. military at present? So says a whistleblower, who just got fired from the military.
Critical Race Theory, which is now being taught in many of schools and even some churches, is the mean by which Marxism is allegedly gaining ground in the military.
Recently, Lt. Col. Matthew Lohmeier was relieved from his post as a Space Force officer because he wrote a book denouncing Critical Race Theory (CRT) and Marxism in the U.S. military. The book is entitled, Irresistible Revolution: Marxism’s Goal of Conquest & the Unmaking of the American Military.
The book has now shot up to #1 on Amazon. I’m sure a lot of would-be readers are trying to get their hands on the volume that the Biden Administration doesn’t want you to read.
Lohmeier said recently in a podcast, “What you see happening in the U.S. military at the moment is that if you’re a conservative, then you’re lumped into a group of people who are labeled extremists, if you’re willing to voice your views. And if you’re aligned with the left, then it’s OK to be an activist online because no one’s going to hold you accountable” (quoted inThe Epoch Times, 5/17/21).
He added,” My intent never has been to engage in partisan politics. I have written a book about a particular political ideology (Marxism) in the hope that our Defense Department might return to being politically nonpartisan in the future as it has honorably done throughout history.”
As of this writing, some congressmen are coming to Lohmeier’s defense. The Epoch Times reports: “A group of Republican lawmakers sent a letter to the acting secretary of the U.S. Space Force on May 19, urging him to immediately reinstate a lieutenant colonel who was relieved of his command after publishing a book that warned of the spread of Marxism and critical race theory (CRT) in the military.”
We constantly hear about CRT these days. I thought one of the simplest definitions came from a Baptist minister in Oklahoma, Paul Blair. Blair heads up Reclaiming America for Christ.
I interviewed him recently on the radio on the subject of CRT (and the schools). Blair told me, “Critical Race Theory is a Trojan horse for Marxism. Karl Marx tried to stir a pot of friction between property owners and non-property owners. And out of that he hoped a revolution would foment and throw off the existing economic system. So he would replace it with his socialist utopia. Well, the economic friction never took root in America because in America everyone owns property.”
But after World War I, the Marxists regrouped and created “critical theory”---basically using any wedge they could find to try and create a revolution. And the most successful wedge the Marxists found to attack America from within was race, because of slavery, Jim Crow, “separate but equal,” and other examples of racism in America past.
Blair notes, “What Critical Race Theory teaches our kids is that the system is racist. The American economic system, our Constitutional republic, is a racist system. Therefore, it’s the system that must be destroyed. And, of course, that’s what Marx’s goal was---to replace the [capitalist] system with his socialist utopia. And they teach this idea that if you are white, you are an oppressor. And we’re not concerned with what you actually do. Because you are born white, you are an oppressor, and you must be the one that becomes oppressed.”
Thus, being born white is a crime, according to the critical race theorists. And now we have a whistleblower expelled from the military for exposing this reported trend in Biden’s military.
Many veterans oppose this new development. One such veteran is Mike Donnelly, who works as a constitutional attorney defending home schooling.
Says Donnelly, who served in the first Gulf War, “As a veteran of the U.S. Army, I think it's extremely important that our government stand up for the truth and for the values of our Constitution, which includes the First Amendment. This includes the right for people to believe and to worship and to express themselves, and it's very concerning that any administration should seek and target Christians or people of any faith, because of their faith, in the military.”
In this dangerous world, the military is very important to a nation. We remember around Memorial Day the sacrifices of those brave men and women who paid “the last full measure of devotion” to their country, that we might be free. But did they die so this nation might spread Marxism? No. I’m sure they did not.
Why did these idiots become soldiers? Don’t they know anything about Marxism and the Cold War? If they become soldiers as a career move and Marxism as the latest elite inner circle that they must enter to advance their career, then they are nothing but slimy opportunists. Their is no dignity with these guys... so how can we ever trust them. They’ll surrender to the enemy if it means a career move or opportunity. Sad.
Marxism in the military has a very short life span. Less than 1 month now.
Active Marxists/Maoists corrupting the military are attacking the US Constitution and are therefore domestic enemies of the Constitution and committing treason.
That’s an effed up comment from you who didn’t serve, when discussing fighting men who are standing up and being counted to save and reform things.
Can anybody name a square inch spot on the planet anywhere where Marxism has brought anything good? Anywhere?

Perilous times, I will add to Marxism a greater threat, Islam. Both are Anti-God, anti west, and both are growing.
Reading the Colonel’s book right now. Very well done.
And very frightening as well.
Becoming a Marxist is NOT reforming things. I’m talking about the officer class who supposedly have an education to know the dangers of Marxism and the terrible history of 100 million deaths in the last century due to this plague. Still there are people — especially officers — who view the military as a career move and will accept whatever nonsense if it will bring them elite status and being in the “in” crowd. The Pentagon is an example of that kind of careerist thinking.
Boy, THAT is a loaded statement!. Could you elaborate, please - I'd like to know more.
I don’t know one person who when in college decided that commissioning into the military was going to lead to some sort of payoff in the end. I can assure you when I had “AAA” fired at me I wasn’t thinking about some cushy defense job downrange. Unfortunately in the military, turds occasionally rise to the top. What has kept us strong is there are more good people in key positions than not. You do not know what the hell you are talking about. CDR, USN (Ret.) Served 22 years.
To the slackers and other low life’s Marxism is the Eden in life yet no list had been found of thousands of people who moved to a Marxism mecca.
Confused people grasp for any propaganda that sounds like a free ride.
I’m saying people are ambitious and they will overlook common sense and decency. That is a fact of life. What caused the Marxists to be prominent now? It wasn’t patriotism. It was corruption.
So things are getting corrupted. How the army worked in communist countries had a lot to do with being a communist party member and who you knew. In other words, corruption and favoritism. This same corruption horseshit is creeping in from the university — because it all starts with the university. Kids in university are learning the same bullshit, learning how to virtue signal and use the jargon and all that crap because that is how they will get ahead. It looks like that in the army now... and how in the HELL did the Pentagon become this way? It wasn’t done by normal patriotic people. How did they sponsor the ad for army recruiting with a cartoon of a girl with two mothers and with GAY Rainbow colors and personal problems? This would have been a joke 5 years ago on SNL. Now it is REALITY. That’s what the HELL I’m talking about.
This trend isn’t going away. And it is already in the highest places and will only get worse before it gets better.
