Tracing the roots of individuals and processes that propel the America's transformation onto a neo-Marxian society can help identify and red-flag them as existential threats to American freedom and prosperity
In his insightful article "Something Wicked This Way Comes" (Canada Free Press, Dec. 12, 2020), Ray DiLorenzo presents a synthetic perspective on the Chinese-Communist origin of many socio-political pathologies that are poised to destroy America as we have known her from the nation’s Constitution and history. Here, I would like to widen that perspective by adding to it a brief account of some of the known Soviet and neo-Marxian roots of the said pathologies. These two views (of China origin and Soviet/neo-Marxist origin) are not totally separate as the proclamation of Communist China (a.k.a. People's Republic of China) in 1949 was to a large extent triggered by the Soviet ideology and the advances of China's People's Liberation Army would not have been so quick without aid from the Soviet Union. And, of course, they all originated from Karl Marx's flawed theory of perpetual class war and how to end it.
What is going on in America these days has, in addition to visible Communist China influences and a dose of apparent fascist inspiration, a distinct Soviet stench. And not surprisingly so. The Soviet-Union-based "intelligentsia" (a coherent class of educated individuals that conceived the blueprint and provided the context for the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia in 1917) decided at some point, following suggestions of Marxists from the so-called Frankfurt School (a.k.a. The Institute for Social Research that started as a meeting for Marxists studies) in 1920s Germany, to metastasize the cancer of Marxian socialism from Russia to America.
