There were a couple of school lessons I've never forgotten. One was the Milgram experiment which showed that a little over sixty percent of people would do things they normally wouldn't do when told that those in authority approved it or said it was alright. Another noted that a takeover of society/government began with the children, teaching/indoctrinating them against parental teachings and even parents. Both are examples of individual choice essentially being removed.
The lessons here is that if someone in authority tells us it is alright, then two-thirds majority are going to go along with what authority says. Get children away from their parents and a young age, and that mind will also be influenced by the other. What this does is diminish individual choice. I'm not saying all public schools go along with what is happening in California, but it highlights my case. All levels of students (A-F) are tossed into the same classroom where the curriculum is at C level (the level teachers are taught to teach). No Child Left Behind is in reality No Child May Move Ahead. And the F-students? Privately, they are known as "Flat-Liners" best ignored. Again, individual choice/preference being removed so that all are cookie cutter stamps of each other.
All personal choice is best left at the personal level. If Woman's Body=Woman's Choice, then the government has no need to say yes or no. If a "Woman's Choice" is good, then School Choice should be seen in the same light. Schools are essentially State Run, not locally run, where again Bureaucracy is very much in play. They make the rules about Tampons in Boys' Bathrooms, Transgender decisions being made without parent knowledge let alone permission.
The peoples' government (as I see it) is in the hands of bureaucrats not the people. How to fix it? Who knows for sure? I know I would favor term limits for all elected positions, and no lobbyists/lobbying. Corporations took over all the news media, so the media now being lobbyists themselves, let's see if we can get the media back into the private sector. Too late for any of this? Probably. However, I think the faithful laity have the best shot at suggesting some changes that favor the individual instead of the cookie-stamped.
Citizens whether clergy or laity or whatever role they play in society are the only ones who can change bad government. And it can get to the point where it is extremely costly even to the point of being a life or death situation to try. In my opinion we are perilously close to that now.
The problem is that those who see liberty as an unalienable right of humankind are far more likely to see liberty as a choice to believe what is right along with an equal choice to believe what is wrong. They reject any cookie cutter concept and therefore are less likely to attempt to impose their will on others. And they live a mostly live and let live life and only a few take the risks to try to change anything or stop harmful changes demanded.
The neo-Marxist WANTS a cookie cutter society in which all much think, believe, speak, do the same. As Kamala Harris puts it, equality is everybody arriving at the same point even if they begin without equity. It is another way of saying to each according to their needs from each according to their means so that all become the same cookie at the end.
And as they gain majorities in those entities and make it any who think differently from them uncomfortable and/or unwelcome, they have been more fanatical, fixed, extreme and radical in their views.
Right now the neo-Marxists control most of the government, education, media, entertainment, big business, scientific institutions, much of religion because for the last 50 years they have patiently been infiltrating and taking power over those entities that control the message and influence the mind.
They are already trying to take the children emotionally and philosophically away from the parent. The efforts to weaken and eventually dismantle the traditional nuclear family is paying off for them. They haven't accomplished the whole goal, but they're working on it so they have complete control over indoctrination of the children.
Is it too late? I don't know. I will go to my grave doing as much as I can to enlighten minds being poisoned by Marxist ideology though, and to educate fellow citizens in what is happening and encourage them to remedy that as much as possible at the polls in November.
