There are two misconceptions held by many Americans. The first is that communism ceased to be a threat when the Soviet Union imploded. The second is that the New Left of the Sixties collapsed and disappeared as well. "The Sixties are dead," wrote columnist George Will ("Slamming the Doors," Newsweek, Mar. 25, 1991)


Because the New Left lacked cohesion it fell apart as a political movement. However, its revolutionaries reorganized themselves into a multitude of single issue groups. Thus we now have for example, radical feminists, black extremists, anti-war ‘peace' activists, animal rights groups, radical environmentalists, and ‘gay' rights groups. All of these groups pursue their piece of the radical agenda through a complex network of organizations such as the Gay Straight Lesbian Educators Network (GSLEN), the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), People for the American Way, United for Peace and Justice, Planned Parenthood, Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS), and Code Pink for Peace.



Both communism and the New Left are alive and thriving here in America. They favor code words: tolerance, social justice, economic justice, peace, reproductive rights, sex education and safe sex, safe schools, inclusion, diversity, and sensitivity. All together, this is Cultural Marxism disguised as multiculturalism.


Birth of Multiculturalism


In anticipation of the revolutionary storm that would baptize the world in an inferno of red terror, leading to its rebirth as the promised land of social justice and proletarian equality-Frederich Engels wrote,

"All the...large and small nationalities are destined to perish...in the revolutionary world storm... (A general war will) wipe out all...nations, down to their very names. The next world war will result in the disappearance from the face of the earth not only reactionary classes...but...reactionary peoples." ("The Magyar Struggle," Neue Rheinische Zeitung, Jan. 13, 1849)
By the end of WWI, socialists realized that something was amiss, for the world's proletariat had not heeded Marx's call to rise up in opposition to evil capitalism and to embrace communism instead. They wondered what had gone wrong.


Separately, two Marxist theorists-Antonio Gramsci of Italy and Georg Lukacs of Hungary-concluded that the Christianized West was the obstacle standing in the way of a communist new world order. The West would have to be conquered first.

Political correctness = Marxism terminology ? Sounds like it. The language is here before the doctrine is in place.

What hokum! Code words? Using this idiotic author's thinking - actually thinking is a bad word for it - our founding father's started this whole mess with words like individual freedom, liberty, you know all those code words.


"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed..."

Sounds like a bunch of multiculturalists to me. ROTFLMAO

I sure hope this isn't a sign of educational failure in America as that is truly a load of crap.

Multiculturalism isn't a form of Marxism. It's a social policy with mixed results I have to say. But that's another topic. Labelling it "cultural Marxism" is interesting though, it must mean the writer doesn't like it.

I agree with Midcan--------- multiculturalism and communism have NOTHING to do with each other. Whole different set of beliefs.

Multiculturalism, however, is probably a basic weakener of society that the Founding Fathers couldn't even BEGIN to imagine, pre-immigrations. Certainly Woodrow Wilson's whole thrust at the 1918 Peace Accords was the opposite: he wanted ethnic homogeneity in nations, viewing it as the very basis of national strength.

He was in favor of countries and empires splitting up to gain such homogeneity, and indeed the Treaty of Lausanne moved some 750,000 Turks out of Greece and some 1,250,000 Greeks out of Turkey, all very sad for everyone. Germany later carried national homogeneity as a goal VERYVERYVERY far, as we know, but it probably does work, all the same. Look at Germany now: biggest and strongest state in Europe, still scaring the French after all those wars.

Mixed ethnic populations breed social divisions to the point that it's all a country can think about ---- see the United States and Great Britain today, for two examples.

Multiculturalism is probably a bad idea that weakens a nation fatally, but here we are, all the same.

Our founding fathers weren't talking about cultures--they were talking about INDIVIDUALS. BIG DIFFERENCE. When everyone if forced to tolerate other cultures we lose our individual rights and become a blob. I think that's prettty damn close to Communism.
