[Enough is ENOUGH]

We react daily to the consequences of "political correctness" without addressing its source. We cannot wage a war against this evil without an understanding of its founder, Antonio Gramsci and his purpose.

Gramsci's Grand Plan

[ladyinred]

Thanks for posting this. It needs to be addressed. It can't be stated enough that PC is the death of free speech. It appears that was the intent, and it worked, even among conservatives.

Good post.

For those who don't know, Gramsci basically was a proponent of "Cultural Marxism" or "Marxism by other Means".

Gramsci, and the Frankfurt school knew that undisguised Marxism would never make it in Western civilization, so they came up with a camouflaged version.

The Democrat party is basically a cultural Marxist party today, and the GOP is well on the way to becoming one.

The people on this website who are always pushing the "abuse" button to stifle views that transgress political correctness are basically Gramscian Marxists.

They may call themselves "conservatives" or "Republicans", but their tactics and end-goal is the same.

I was an "American Studies" major in college and graduated in 1991. I never really understood what hit me quite frankly, but the last 10 years have been an intense unlearning of what in retrospect was clear Marxist indoctrination. The head of the department was so smart. Such a hipster, too. And she played up the roloe of understanding older sister versus the domineering mother or father figure.

All of the European names from above: Adorno, Marcuse, Fromm, Lukacs, etc. were part of my curriculum. And "deconstruction" was the name of the game. And to be honest with you, I think I was saved because I plum didn't understand it -- at all.

By the end of my Junior year, I was confused and just wanted to graduate. At a friends graduation from Stanford, his religious studies department graduation was held with the 'American Studies' Dept. I half jokingly asked one of the Am studies grads: "So what exactly is 'American Studies'?"

His response was just as confusing as my own interpretation of what it was.

In retrospect it was clearly subversive anti-Americanism built up with a name that was probably meant to draw in young, impressionable dupes like me.

Part of me is angry at myself that I was not up for the challenge to take on the drivel at the time, bt I was not as armed as I am today. And part of me wants to give back the degree which cost my parents a pretty penny.

But my resolution is keeping up with a true education on what it is to be truly American. And to study America is not to add up slavery with the Japanese internment and multiply it by Jim Crow.

I do think my obligation is to tell people, anyone who will listen, that getting back the universities is as important as getting back the media. I think that David Horowitz is clearly the most knowledgable leader on this front, but there needs to be a Bernard Goldberg and a Tammy Bruce from within the Ivy Walls with a liberal pedigree who helps to break down the dam.

And tying the academia to the media as the main culprits in the degradation of American values and standards could be legitimate goals in the Culture War in the coming years.

The current period in which we live (heightened patriotism) has put THEM on the defensive. We have control and should not shrink from the responsibility. It is time to go on the offensive and the publishing this piece in a college publication is a nice start.

Political correctness is intellectual fascism

[FractalSphere]

On the 12th day of the Eurocentrically imposed midwinter festival, my Significant Other in a consenting adult, monogamous relationship gave to me:
TWELVE males reclaiming their inner warrior through ritual drumming,
ELEVEN pipers piping (plus the 18-member pit orchestra made up of members in good standing of the Musicians Equity Union as called for in their union contract even though they will not be asked to play a note).
TEN melanin-deprived testosterone-poisoned scions of the patriarchal ruling class system leaping,
NINE persons engaged in rhythmic self-expression,
EIGHT economically disadvantaged female persons stealing milk-products from enslaved Bovine-Americans,
SEVEN endangered swans swimming on federally protected wetlands,
SIX enslaved Fowl-Americans producing stolen non-human animal products,
FIVE golden symbols of culturally sanctioned enforced domestic incarceration, (NOTE: after members of the Animal Liberation Front threatened to throw red paint at my computer, the calling birds, French hens and partridge have been reintroduced to their native habitat. To avoid further Animal-American enslavement, the remaining gift package has been revised.)
FOUR hours of recorded whale songs,
THREE deconstructionist poets,
TWO Sierra Club calendars printed on recycled processed tree carcasses, and
ONE Spotted Owl activist chained to an old-growth pear tree. Happy Holidays!!!! (unless otherwise prohibited by law) Unless, of course, you are suffering from Seasonally Affected Disorder (SAD). If this be the case, please substitute this gratuitous call for celebration with a suggestion that you have a thoroughly adequate day.

This a fascinating subject because it's definitely the root cause of what ails this country. We've identified this cancer eating away at our very substance. The key question is how do we eradicate it before PC totally cripples our ability to exercise our God given rights?

Great post - thank you. JL

We are closer to socialism then Democracy in our country now and most brainwashed Americans like it that way.

All our problems come from self-deception and political euphamisms. Lying that warps our moral compasses:

1)Social security IS slavery.

2)We must imprison all who support terrorists, physically or monetarily -- but it is OK to enrich China by engaging in trade because when the Chinese government aborts babies, they sneak up on them real slow so as not to TERRORIZE anybody.

And thats the important thing, to have a Merry Christmas.

Thank you for providing the link. This is chilling stuff. One paragraph rings out like the bell in the Old North Church on a quiet Middlesex evening:

Whereas conventional Marxist-Leninists were hostile towards the non-Communist left, Gramsci argued that alliances with a broad spectrum of leftist groups would prove essential to Communist victory. In Gramsci's time these included, among others, trade unions, and socialist political groups. In our time, alliances with the left would include radical feminists, extremist environmentalists, "civil rights" movements, anti-police associations, internationalists, ultra-liberal church groups, and so forth. These organizations, along with open Communists, together create a united front working for the transformation of the old Christian culture.

There you have it. That is the Left, in its latter-day incarnation. There is our enemy.
