I know a homeschool mom who was teaching her son American history, using Howard Zinn's "A People's History of the United States," totally unaware that he was a communist, and a foe of this nation. Similarly, hardly a college student knows that the most influential texts used in college were written by three similarly oriented individuals: Franz Fanon, Antonio Gramsci, and Paulo Friere.
1. According to the uninformed, communism is naught but a 'bogey-man' that was never a threat in this country, never had and never will hold sway here, ...and communists should be treated as one would treat that crazy old uncle that one sees at annual family functions.
2. Of course, that view is false, and dangerous. Communism has cast its miasma over us as long ago as the socialism of John Dewey, the party whose title he altered to 'Liberal,' and it's march toward domination mirrored that of progressivism...with good reason: Whittaker Chambers wrote in his book WITNESS that liberals are/were incapable of ever effectively fighting Communism because they did not see anything in Communism that was antithetical to their own beliefs.
3. The radicals of the sixties did not remain within the universities They realized that the apocalypse never materialized. they were dropping off into environmentalism and consumerism and fatalism I watched many of my old comrades apply to graduate school in universities they had failed to burn down, so they could get advanced degrees and spread the ideas that had been discredited in the streets under an academic cover. Collier and Horowitz, Destructive Generation: Second Thoughts About The Sixties, p. 294-295.
a. "Alfred Willi Rudi Dutschke (March 7, 1940 December 24, 1979) was the most prominent spokesperson of the German student movement of the 1960s. He advocated a long march through the institutions' of power to create radical change from within government and society by becoming an integral part of the machinery.[1] This was an idea he took up from his interpretation of Antonio Gramsci and the Frankfurt school of cultural Marxism." Rudi Dutschke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
4. The target was the schools, to convince the captive audience that their nation is evil....and, therefore, whatever happens to America, is deserved. And the plan has been, largely, successful.
a. The books behind the political mentality of the university can be directly attributed to three specific works: Antonio Gramsci's "Prison Notebooks;" Paulo Freire's "Pedagology of the Oppressed;" and Franz Fanon's "The Wretched of the Earth."
a. In 2003, David Steiner and Susan Rozen published a study examining the curricula of 16 schools of education14 of them among the top-ranked institutions in the country, according to U.S. News and World Reportand found that 'Pedagogy of the Oppressed' was one of the most frequently assigned texts in their philosophy of education courses. Pedagogy of the Oppressor by Sol Stern, City Journal Spring 2009
5. To gauge how successful this infestation of the university has been, note that the nation elected a President with this view. The wealth of the imperial countries is our wealth too, writes Franz Fanon in The Wretched of the Earth. Fanon fought in the Algerian revolution against he French; Obama says that in college he relished reading and quoting Fanon. or in a very concrete way Europe has stuffed herself inordinately with the gold and raw materials of the colonial countries .Europe is literally the creation of the Third world .wealth stolen from the underdeveloped peoples.
Dinesh DSouza, Obamas America, p. 11.
a. If economic exploitation is the cause of said poverty, then why are those parts of the Third World least touched by contact with prosperous nations so often the most destitute of all? Blame is much easier to understand than causation, far more emotionally satisfying, and, today, more politically convenient.
Sowell, Economic Facts and Fallacies, p. 189.
b. "To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk- rock performance poets. We smoked cigarettes and wore leather jackets. At night, in the dorms, we discussed neocolonialism, Franz Fanon, Eurocentrism, and patriarchy."
Barack Obama
c. How easy to understand Obama's sending back the bust of Winston Churchill, and refusing to send any officials to Margaret Thatcher's funeral.
Franz Fanon, Antonio Gramsci, and Paulo Friere.
Some ideas are so stupid, only an intellectual could believe them. George Orwell.
They say 'You are what you eat.' Obama, raised on communism, imbibing said doctrines on mommy's knee, could only be the same.
