American Consequences - October 2020

philosopher György Lukács came to the realization that Communism can work in nations with backward populations such as Tsarist Russia or post-war China, but they will never succeed in advanced Western nations like the U.S. – nations with robust middle-class and family structures. These nations must have their institutional building blocks (including the nuclear family) systematically dismantled before Marxism can succeed. Those who understood the new challenge – that revolution could not be affected on the barricades but only within the “bourgeois” system itself – were collected and given a home in Felix Weil’s Institute for Social Research, later simply referred to as the Frankfurt School. Then world war intervened again, and those who would dismantle Western civilization to replace it with a Marxist “utopia” fled Europe to settle in our country, where their focus would shift to the subversion and sabotage of the most powerful free nation in the world. This is where the final touches to the plan were made. German philosopher Max Horkheimer also recognized that Marxism would not prevail against robust Christian societies like America’s. The status quo in the West was simply immune to radical ideas of “social justice” and equality enforced by the state. So he came up with an otherwise inoffensive- sounding weapon to destroy the status quo... “critical theory,” the same critical theory that President Trump has just banned from Federal training programs. According to this theory, which came to dominate the social sciences across America and most of the Judeo-Christian world, the

Breitbart had to know why the party he previously found sympathetic had mutated into a vicious gang of political thugs bent on utilizing the politics of personal destruction against anyone they deemed to be their enemy. For an at best grade-C student, the research was a challenge, but he was so motivated and disgusted by what he had witnessed, Breitbart ended up mapping the evolution of the Democrat party into a radicalized collective of anti-American fundamentalists so powerfully that the summary of what he found (Chapter 6 of Righteous Indignation ) is the most important explication of our nation’s twisted odyssey I have yet to read. In fact, it so moved and enlightened me that it served as the inspiration for my own post-White House book, The War for America’s Soul . I highly suggest reading Breitbart’s book. But in the meantime, here is the gist of how America lost its way, or rather, how the greatest nation ever created by man was sabotaged and now stands on the precipice of an internal war... The following are the names you must be familiar with: Gramsci, Lukács, Weil, Horkheimer, Marcuse, and Alinsky. Together, these men are the anti-apostles of what would become the New Left and eventually bring us Antifa, BLM, and the burning of American cities across the nation. Shockingly, none of what these men did was hidden or secret. From the notebooks the communist Antonio Gramsci penned in an Italian prison to Saul Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals , their subversion was open and declared. It started when Gramsci and Hungarian
