Yup, the Frankfurt School and Critical Theory. Cloward & Piven eagerly embraced that.
I have the book and let me tell you, it is an eyeopener. I often suspected that Fascism and Communism might be different sides of the same coin. D'Sousa confirms those suspicions! Both Fascism and Communism are forms of socialism!
The communists have gaslighted us by creating a false dichotomy based on their precious dialectic.( Thesis + Antithesis = Synthesis ) Anyone who has studied Aristotelian philosophy will understand why the dialectic is both rationally and practically unworkable. It only looks good on paper but when practically applied to the real world it produces nothing but anarchy and chaos.
One of the axiomatic (self-evident) first principles of philosophy is the law of contradiction - that a thing cannot simultaneously be and not-be in the same species. Let us say for the sake of argument that a "Something" is the Thesis. The true Antithesis to this "Something" would have to be "Nothing" in order for it to be a true Antithesis. Now when you add "Nothing" to this "Something" you don't wind up with a new "Synthesis" which in turn becomes "the new Thesis." What you wind up with is the same "Something" you started out with, but if you slap a new label on this "same old Something" (i.e. "Synthesis") it is possible to gaslight people into being persuaded that this so-called "Synthesis" is something new.
Meet the new boss. He is the same as the old boss.
