In All The White Noise, What is Really Going On?

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.

After abandoning Russia/Soviet Union, the ex-Bolshevik emigrees and their successors needed a new home base

Subsequently, millions of them moved from the Soviet Union to the US, with a particularly impactful ones arriving at American shores after the 1965 Immigration and Naturalization Act opened America's floodgates for mass migration. As a result, Marxism went into remission in the SU and began growing in America. It marched "through the institutions" as cultural Marxism, almost exactly the way the Frankfurt School had been calling for since the 1920s. The fact that several prominent members of the School, like Theodor Adorno, Erich Fromm, and Herbert Marcuse, relocated themselves shortly before WWII to some prominent American Universities (most notably, Columbia University) to help create a welcoming climate for the immigrating masses of Soviet "intelligentsia". After abandoning Russia/Soviet Union, the ex-Bolshevik emigrees and their successors needed a new home base that could become a model system for their political struggle. And they chose China, a choice which greatly helped the Chinese Communist Party gain popularity among American leftists and, eventually, to fill the political void created after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Of course, there were other influences, too. For instance, those brought into the US migrating millions from Mexico and Latin America, but many of those influences had some distinct Soviet stench following them as well, due to the fact that many of the ex-Bolshevik "intelligentsia" left SU for Central and South America (Leon Trotsky being, perhaps, the most prominent example) where they multiplied and spread their ideas of social justice Soviet-style. Relatively few critics of the American "transformation" into a "democratic" socialist country see the whole picture as a rough sketch which I have drawn, above, despite the fact that virtually everything that one needs to know in order to learn all the truth about it is hiding in plain view. Somehow, many people, even those firmly opposed to any form of socialism, seem to yield to propaganda originating from cultural Marxists and neo-Soviet ex-patriots and their progeny that wants to make us believe that what we all see is not what is actually cankering America. (A typical example of a common canard propagated along these lines is a false but frequently repeated claim that "cultural Marxism is a myth" despite being a well-documented theory developed by prominent Marxists Antonio Gramsci and Georg Lukács and their followers and transplanted to the US by immigrating members of Frankfurt School, the most influential of whom was, arguably, Herbert Marcuse.) But knowledge and understanding of the reality are quickly spreading through America as those who saw the beast typically cannot unsee it.

Communist China is, arguably, America's most potent enemy and this nation's gravest long-term external threat

Let's hope that we will not end up being wise after the fact. Although Communist China is, arguably, America's most potent enemy and this nation's gravest long-term external threat, and it has managed to make inroads into the American government and corporate elites, the root cause of the current attempts to overthrow our Constitutional Republic and submit it to the control of an emerging new regime that declared itself the defender of the exploited and the oppressed can be traced to the Russia/Soviet Union and few other places in Europe (e.g., Frankfurt, Germany). These were some of the main sources of the evil ideology that is being pushed down the throats of pupils and students in our education system, as well as the brain power to devise the strategies for soft revolution in America and the tactics that implement them. 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.
