Like it or not, as time passes, the marxists are gaining the upper hand. How is it that capitalism, which once was hegemonic, is losing its grip over the imagination of the world? Assuming that marxism is the religion of the victim and can’t take root where people are happy, productive and purposeful, what, exactly, is not adding up for capitalism in the 21st century? What are the operant conditions that have led us to here? Why are we losing? Why are they driving all the wedges? Why are we not in the initiative?
Can we find any flaw whatsoever in what we are doing?

A huge reason is the increased secularization of our society. As man rejects God, a void occurs and he turns to the state to fill that void. Socialism and Communism aren’t just political philosophies but religions. To quote Jean-Jacques Rousseau(the precursor to Karl Marx), the ideal utopian world could be described as follows-
“Each citizen would then be completely independent of all his fellow men, and absolutely dependent on the state.”

Ignorance. Most people don’t even know what socialism is, let alone why it is bad. The socialists control the schools, the media, pop culture, and the Gov’t. I fear it is too late to save this once great nation.
Government schooling. The real curriculum of government schooling is not in the textbooks, it’s in the experience — school is a small-scale totalitarian society where everything is planned beforehand and rigidly controlled, and God is considered to be at most irrelevant.
