Historically-worthy Bump.

Your Post is valuable and much-appreciated.

The New American Magazine fairly recently devoted several pages to exposing Gramsci and his many adherents of today.

Education can be Survival...

[Sam Cree]

"Consider how well that sentence describes the United States of today with its hordes of bureaucrats dictating virtually all aspects of our daily lives."

I'm not sure whether this has resulted from "government's natural tendency to grow at the expense of liberty," or actual efforts by the Left, or both, but clearly the results are the same.

When government begins "granting" rights (entitlements), the people begin thinking that socialism is an American tradition. And then they accept that government, since it is responsible for them, should naturally regulate them.

Did I read somewhere that Hillary is a follower of Gramsci?

Libertarians are the only party to recognize that both professional parties have submitted to the cultural hegemony of Liberal statism. They imbrace their servitude as long as they can force others to also serve themselves. Those at the bottom of the pile have no choice but to submit. The main and only difference between Democrats and Republicans is which group will dominate which group to be at the top. Libertarians seek to not have domination by the state at all.

Stalin started a systematic elimination of his enemies, whether those enemies were real or simply perceived so in Stalin’s imagination.

Hillary may very well have been a follower of Gramsci. However, her views appear to have a few things in common with Stalin (see above).

Anywhere in Gramsci's ramblings, does he take into consideration of, or remedy for, a movement that might overwhelm and eradicate Marxism???

Are we to believe that there will be no future political enlightenments in this world???

Someone correct me here.....................

Didn't Hillary's "sealed" senior thesis project (at Wellsley) deal with an analysis of Gramsci's methodologies of how to establish a communist state here in the US? (ie. she disagreed with the 'specifics', and thought there were better ways of achieving this goal)

[Lessismore]

"A really efficient totalitarian state would be one in which the all-powerful executive of political bosses and their army of managers control a population of slaves who do not have to be coerced, because they love their servitude."

This is also the basis for all modern non-union corporate organizations, which are based on motivation of the employee through self-actualization, rather than the old management-labor conflict. See Abraham Maslow.

I don't know about Gramsci, but Hillary did say that her favorite book was Aldous Huxley's "Brave New World".

NEVER take your eyes off that witch!

bump.

Anyone who accepts the idea that "Communism is dead" completely fails to understand the basic nature of our enemies. Communism is not an IDEOLOGY in which one believes. It is a criminal conspiracy in which you enlist. All over the world, Marxist ‘ideology’ has been modified to suit local situations.

This is exactly what "communism" became in practice. The old communist is sitting around waiting for capitalism to collapse. It ain't gonna happen. The practicing communist is nothing more than a motivated opportunist.

When the Soviet Union imploded, there was a sudden realization of a Russian mafia. In fact, the Russian mafia was always there. The west got its first glimpse of of the "real" communists when the walls came down.

See further discussion on the damage that Gramsci and the Frankfurt School did in PJB's The Death of the West.

[100%FEDUP]

What is absent from this article is any mention of Georg Lukacs and how his book, "The Process of Democritization" molded Marx's system of social engineering and eventually came to be known as political correctness in the 90's!

I know what you mean but it wasn't Gramsci.

If you convince an entire society that they are "victims" who are unable to care for themselves, they will clamor for Fedgov to take care of them.
