Gramsci & Frankfurt School, Quick & Dirty: Mutating Our Entire Society’s Perception of Reality

Whittaker Chambers in 1948

The greater Communist movement’s infiltration into public policy, public office, and government is nothing new. In fact it is a much needed factor in the successful transformation of an entire society.  As Whitaker Chambers (Ex-Soviet Spy turned Soviet defector) had noted:

That power to influence policy has always been the ultimate purpose of the Communist Party’s infiltration. It was much more dangerous, and, as events have proved, much more difficult to detect, than  espionage, which beside it is trivial, though the two go hand in hand. (Stalin’s Secret Agents)

Another interesting note in regards to the real intentions of those who still call themselves progressives, coming from another soviet spy by the name of Elizabeth Berkely.

Stand your ground, put on an air of injured innocence; your are not a Communist,  just a ‘progressive’ whose record proves you have always fought for the rights of labor. (The Naked Communist  p. 149)

The undeniable change we see taking place in our country today should be viewed through a much different lens than past generations. Some may blame it on a generational gap. You may even think with age comes wisdom and the younger generation will wise up someday,  As the saying goes “If you’re not a liberal at twenty you have no heart if you’re not a conservative at forty you have no brain”. If only it were that simple. The disconnect we see is not by accident. The truth is, it is intentional.

It is not a secret and any dictator worth his salt knows the key to transforming a society is to gain control of the youth. Doing so gives the much needed advantage to change a society. Generation after generation then enter key positions in public office where they can effectively continue changing society based on what they have learned in college. Some may go on to be professors at universities (one recognizable “professor” would be Bill Ayers) where the cycle repeats itself.

Clever, “causes” such as social justice, socioeconomic equality, and women’s rights, give the illusion of fighting for worthy causes. The useful idiots that Lenin once spoke of are more than willing to fight for these oh so noble causes. Lets face it, when you are young you want to “change the world;” only problem is they truly have no idea what they are changing it to. Its not purely coincidental that people such as Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dorn, Frances Fox Piven, Mark Rudd, and the recently released Kathy Boudin all work in the field of education. These are radicals through and through and have every intention of continuing their glorious “revolution” by using your children. Lenin once said, “Give me four years to teach the children and the seed I have sown will never be uprooted.”

So how does one go about changing a society? One way is to foment a  violent revolution; another is a slow “progressive” transformation. The later of the two is what has been in play for decades now.

Antonio Gramsci

Antonio Gramsci (1891-1937)

A Marxist philosopher by the name of Antonio Gramsci  realized no thinking person would just roll over and submit to a system that is going to enslave him. Rather, he believed one could, through years, if not decades, slowly subvert a culture in which the public could be influenced into a Marxist ideology.  In his deluded idea of someday achieving an egalitarian utopia he wanted the victims to actually enjoy being a party to a collective and a repressive regime.

Gramsci believed that if Communism achieved “mastery of human consciousness,” then labor camps and mass murder would be unnecessary. How does an ideology gain such mastery over patterns of thought inculcated by cultures for hundreds of years? Mastery over the consciousness of the great mass of people would be attained, Gramsci contended, if Communists or their sympathizers gained control of the organs of culture — churches, education, newspapers, magazines, the electronic media, serious literature, music, the visual arts, and so on. By winning “cultural hegemony,” to use Gramsci’s own term, Communism would control the deepest wellsprings of human thought and imagination. One need not even control all of the information itself if one can gain control over the minds that assimilate that information. Under such conditions, serious opposition disappears since men are no longer capable of grasping the arguments of Marxism’s opponents. Men will indeed “love their servitude,” and will not even realize that it is servitude.

Gramsci’s Grand Plan

One cannot deny patience and time are key components needed to change a once moral society into one that is unrecognizable as American. To understand how this has happened one must understand the role of the Frankfort School.

Frankfurt School

Born in 1923, a group of determined Germans devised a plan to subvert Western culture and rot it from within.

When Hitler came to power, the Institute was closed and its members, by various routes, fled to the United States and migrated to major US universities—Columbia, Princeton, Brandeis, and California at Berkeley.

Here are some of their stated goals a bit about how they were to be achieved.

1. The creation of racism offences.
2. Continual change to create confusion
3. The teaching of sex and homosexuality to children
4. The undermining of schools’ and teachers’ authority
5. Huge immigration to destroy identity.
6. The promotion of excessive drinking
7. Emptying of churches
8. An unreliable legal system with bias against victims of crime
9. Dependency on the state or state benefits
10. Control and dumbing down of media
11. Encouraging the breakdown of the family

One of the main ideas of the Frankfurt School was to exploit Freud’s idea of ‘pansexualism’ – the search for pleasure, the exploitation of the differences between the sexes, the overthrowing of traditional relationships between men and women. To further their aims they would:

• attack the authority of the father, deny the specific roles of father and mother, and wrest away from families their rights as primary educators of their children.
• abolish differences in the education of boys and girls
• abolish all forms of male dominance – hence the presence of women in the armed forces 
• declare women to be an ‘oppressed class’ and men as ‘oppressors’

Munzenberg summed up the Frankfurt School’s long-term operation thus: ‘We will make the West so corrupt that it stinks.’

The School believed there were two types of revolution: (a) political and (b) cultural. Cultural revolution demolishes from within. ‘Modern forms of subjection are marked by mildness.’ They saw it as a long-term project and kept their sights clearly focused on the family, education, media, sex and popular culture.

The stated goals speak volumes as to how far they have come. All one really needs to do is take a look at the culture we are living in. Example after example can be found of how society has become corrupted.

Any Communist knows that a moral, virtuous society produces obstacles that must be overcome. Therefore, God, family, and love of Country have to be eliminated. Lets face it, if you have an allegiance to God and not government, that is going to create a problem for any committed Communist regime.

We have the imperative task today of learning from history and not just for ourselves but for our children. We will one day look back on what we see taking place today and wonder why we did not do more. This has so often been the case throughout so many periods in history. We have, without a doubt, been fed small doses of socialism for years. Socialism is just a vehicle to communism, which in turn will ultimately lead to a totalitarian system.

There has never been a time in history where we have the technology to literally track every person on earth. Learn from history, listen to those who have studied history and have tried to wake people up for years. Future generations will want to know the truth.
