Nobody Remembers Antonio Gramsci

Nobody Remembers

Not too long ago, I received an email from a new reader who was upset that I called Obama a “communist.” In her opinion, I had resorted to name calling. I’m sure she is not even reading this site anymore, but it did remind me of something I had read in Pat Buchanan’s, Suicide of a Superpower, and I could have pointed it out to her as backup for my “insulting” name,  and so, here, in Pat’s words, is how communism was resurrected in the United States:

As so many like to say— For the Record:

Gramsci’s Triumph

Today’s social decomposition is the first consequence of the collapse of Christianity and the moral order it sustained. This is the triumph of Antonio Gramsci and the cultural revolution of the 1960s. Where the violent victories of Lenin and Mao were eventually reversed, Gramsci, an Italian communist theoretician who died in the 1930s after years in a fascist prison, proved to be the more perceptive Marxist.

On a visit to the Russia of Lenin and Stalin, Gramsci saw that, while the Bolsheviks had succeeded in seizing total power, they had not won over the people. The people obeyed, but hated their rulers and loathed the system. Their love and loyalty went not to the party or the state, but to family, faith, and Mother Russia.

Gramsci concluded that Christianity had immunized the West against Communism. The Russian people had lived for a thousand years with the Christian faith and cultural traditions that caused them instinctively to recoil from Marxism as immoral and unpatriotic and to reject the new Communist order as illegitimate, godless, and evil. Until Christianity was seared out of the soul of Western man, Gramsci concluded, Communism could never take root.

Therefore, Marxists must conduct a “long march through the institution,” religious, cultural, and educational, of the West, uprooting Christianity and its teachings about God, man, and morality to create a new people who would not reflexively reject Marxism. Gramsci was a diagnostician of society and the cultural Marxism he preached triumphed into the West while the revolutions of Lenin, Stalin, and Mao ultimately failed in the East.

As Mark Stein pointed out recently, you can elect all the conservatives you want, but if your institutions are all corrupted, it’s an uphill battle. I grew up in the sixties, and I remember the most popular book on campus at the time that EVERYBODY just had to read was “Three Who Made a Revolution” by Bertram D. Wolfe, a rather glorified account of Lenin, Stalin, and Trotsky. Friedrich Nietzsche’s, the “Antichrist” was also being taught and it was being discussed as the one book that would change your life.

When most of us got out of college and into the real world, we went back to our parents way of thinking….but the ones who stayed in academia and the government are still endorsing the old Marxists plans, because Gramsci’s idea really took them over. Our universities are filled with Marxists, communists, and liberals who even admit to being socialists and communists.

Is Obama a product of this communism that over took our universities in the 1960s?

Absolutely, as is Hillary Clinton…although there are many other facets mixed in to Obama’s rule of law: He’s fascistic, and almost monarchial, the man blends them all, but at the core of his makeup is what he learned from all the communists that mentored him: His mother, his father, and Frank Marshall Davis:

Barack Obama spent his formative years at the feet of the renowned communist, Frank Marshall Davis.

In an article entitled, “Obama’s Communist Mentor,” Cliff Kincaid identifies the man who was most influential in Obama’s life and education, as Frank Marshall Davis.

The record shows that Barack Obama was in Hawaii from 1971-1979, where he developed a close relationship, almost like a son, with frequent guest, Davis, listening to his “poetry” and getting advice on his career path. But Obama, in his book, “Dreams From My Father,” refers to him repeatedly as just “Frank.”

The 1951 report of the Commission on Subversive Activities to the Legislature of the Territory of Hawaii identified Davis as a Communist Party USA member (CPUSA). What’s more, anti-communist congressional committees, including the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), accused Davis of involvement in several communist-front organizations.

As we watch Obama lawlessly promote his Marxists philosophy, I have to wonder again:

Was I resorting to calling Obama a communist? Was it unfounded?

Mmmmmmm

Okay, I’ll change that: How about just a lying, radical, narcissistic, manipulative, psychotic, transgender, megalomaniac instead?
