“The civilized world has been thoroughly saturated with Christianity for 2000 years. Any country grounded in Judeo-Christian values cannot be overthrown until those roots are cut. But to cut the roots — to change culture — a long march through the institutions is necessary. Only then will power fall into our laps like a ripened fruit.
Antonia Gramsci
Prison Notebook
Founder of what became known as Cultural Marxism
“The West is guilty of genocidal crimes against every civilization and culture it has encountered. American and Western Civilization are the world’s greatest repositories for racism, sexism, xenophobia, Antisemitism, Fascism, and Nazism. American society is oppressive, evil, and undeserving of loyalty.”
Herbert Marcuse
First Generation Cultural Marxist
Originator of Critical Theory — Tool for Deconstructing the West
(Liberalism)” Dispensed with the absurd Christian myths of sin and damnation & believed that what shortcomings man might have were to be redeemed, not by Jesus on the Cross, but by the benevolent unfolding of history. Tolerance, free inquiry, & technology operating in the framework of human perfectibility, would in the end create a heaven on earth, a goal accounted much more sensible & wholesome than a heaven in heaven.”
~ Arthur Schlesinger Jr.
Fabian Socialist (Cousins to Cultural Marxists)
Notice this is a perfect quote for humanism
1.) Historicism
2.) Inevitably of progress
3.) Inherent goodness of man
4.) Kingdom of man — Utopia
Keep in mind that this is what all progressives believe today.
“Lest we forget at least an over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical … The first Radical known to man who rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least won his own kingdom — Lucifer.”
Saul Alinsky’s
Dedication of “Rule For Radicals”
“I see the revolutionary destruction of society as the one and only solution. A worldwide overturning of values can not take place without the annihilation of the old values and a creation of the new ones by the Revolution.”
George Luckacs
Cultural Marxist
