A preferred ploy of left-wing change agents is to ridicule critics when they point out the undeniable parallels between the goals of todays progressive movement, to include the Democratic Party in general, and the goals of the early, and very much still alive, c*******t movement.
If, for instance, one mentions the historical fact that nearly every adult who, at any time, was in any position of influence over a young, soon-to-be-radicalized Barry Soetoro was an avowed c*******t, to include his own parents, then one is immediately mocked and dismissed as a neo-McCarthyite hack pining for the bygone days of the Red Scare. This is an evasive, ad hominem strategy employed by those who are caught, for lack of a better word, red-handed.
To all this I say, if the jackboot fits, wear it. If it quacks like a c****e and goose-steps like a c****e, then a c****e it is.
There are multiple layers within progressivisms pseudo-utopian, truly dystopian Marxist philosophy. The lefts lust for redistributionist statism is well-known. Less understood, however, is the progressive rush toward cultural Marxism.
Cultural Marxism entails, among other things, that secularist aspect of left-wing statist ideology that seeks, within society, to supplant traditional values, norms and mores with postmodern moral relativism. Cultural Marxists endeavor to scrub America of her Judeo-Christian, constitutional-republican founding principles, and take, instead, a secular-statist Sharpie to our beloved U.S. Constitution.
Historian and U.S. military affairs expert William S. Lind describes cultural Marxism as a branch of western Marxism, different from the Marxism-Leninism of the old Soviet Union. It is commonly known as m**************m or, less formally, Political Correctness. From its beginning, the promoters of cultural Marxism have known they could be more effective if they concealed the Marxist nature of their work, hence the use of terms such as m**************m.
Pastor, attorney and Massachusetts gubernatorial candidate Scott Lively is globally admired by liberty-loving traditionalists. Conversely, hes universally reviled by cultural Marxists. He drills down a bit deeper: Cultural Marxism is a variation of the Marxist strategy to build a utopian socialist order on the ashes of Christian civilization, but through subversion of the moral culture, especially the elimination of the natural family, rather than solely through destruction of capitalism.

When I was a young fellow I bought into the idea of conservative Libertarianism because it seemed to make the best sense at the time. But I was compleatly naive and limited understanding from an historical perspective. As it turns out Libertarianism is based on myth and fantasy theory.
Free market capitalism is the greatest engine of economic growth in human history is the most prevelent myth in Libertarian circles, and is easily disproved by a look at history.
The stunning growth of the 19 century had little to do with unregulated capitalism and more to the fact America was the most protectionest country in the world from 1830 up to WW ll. Every industrialized economy on the planate grew astronomically by strictly regulating markets.
As former head of the world bank Joseph Stiglitz points out, the countries that adopted free market reforms under IMF structural adjustment policies failed miserably and poverty acctually increased Chile being a prime example. Another myth I swallowed as a young fellow was "Private companies are more efficient because there is a profit " This is only true if profit is the only measurment of sucsess. Take health care as just one example. The US health care industry is extreamly good at delivering profit's but extreamly bad at delivering health care.
The rich need tax cuts to be encouraged to spend and creat economic growth in resessions; Trickle down is easily proved to have failed. miserbly.
The US has the highest standard of living in the world and every one wants to be American; Again provably false. The people who benifit from the highest living standard in the worfld is Norway, a highly socialistic country. America has one of the greatest levels of wealth ine******y in the west and have over 46 million people living in poverty.
America is a free market capitalist economy; The overall structure of the economy is anything but free, and the higher up the wealth ladder you get the more the government intervenes.
The t***h is that the middle class and poor live under the dictates of the market (if your small business fails, theres no bailout), but the rich have a gigantic government structure designed to protect their wealth from competition. America has always first and foremost been about buisness. From the tobaco and cotten plantations of the south to the merchants of the north east
