In a society divided into opposing political extremes an outsider intruding into US politics will never win a popularity contest. Nevertheless, let’s begin by removing the current sound bite reliance on the constitution, gun ownership and ‘Shining beacon of light’ as protection. In fact, none of these prevented Mr. Obama the so-called Messiah from becoming president twice, nor have they prevented the radical left anarchy on the streets after his fortunate departure.
The politics Mr. Obama brought to the US was the European ideology of cultural Marxism and no amount of promising to build walls or MAGA can destroy a belief system, which is why the chaos of ‘cancel culture’ continues.
Mr. Obama’s ideology centered on indoctrination and from the old Soviet Union to present day North Korea, it works. Eleven years later, the children in the video link are the same indoctrinated Obama generation now causing chaos on the streets.
That’s not scaremongering nor is it a conspiracy theory. The ‘quiet revolution’ second civil war is already underway in cities, congress and Mayoral offices throughout the US. The human fatalities remain minimal, but the ideological ground is already lost to the indoctrinated millennial generation.
In this short essay let’s look beyond the previous election circuses, make-up departments and script written speeches to focus on reality and what’s at stake in the 2020 election. Moreover, learning what the extreme left indoctrinated intentions are enables us to have both knowledge and an understanding behind their purpose. Forget CNN, the ramblings of Kamala Harris or the ACA, they’re by-product symptoms of something much more sinister and insidious. Enter cultural Marxism.
Explaining cultural Marxism
Briefly, Marx was wrong. The predicted world-wide Marxist revolution failed because it centered round the proletariat and capitalist exploitation. During the war years, Gramsci an Italian Marxist theorist discovered the real reason, culture. Remove the traditional cultural foundations of a society and it will collapse without the need for barricades and bloodthirsty 20th century revolutions.
And that’s what is happening in the ‘cancel culture’ era. No longer workers unite, it’s now minorities and the dispossessed uniting. Out with the two parent family unit replaced by a promiscuous homosexual agenda. All religions viewed as equal. Mass immigration to destroy national identity, a drug culture of entertainment and government dependency … All in the name of freedom. Behind the anarchy await characters such as Ocasio-Cortez, Omar and Harris, replacing the old Marxist vanguard of Obama, Clinton and Sanders.
How was all this allowed to happen? The unfortunate reality is that raised on a mantra of ‘it can’t happen here’, the US failed to heed European history which promised it could to a population still struggling to believe it has.
To summarize; cultural Marxism is merely a means to an end and purposely designed to destroy western traditional values which hold society together producing a level of anarchy requiring draconian state intervention. The end result is authoritarianism voted in by popular demand.
Producing the anarchist mindset
The usual conservative response questions why the radicalized liberals involved in the continuing anarchy seem unable to comprehend actions and understand consequences. The answer lies in the change from the previous consensus of structural moral imperatives to a postmodernist (post truth) perspective Lets explain the jargon.
The idea behind postmodernism is that reality is an individual choice rather than a consensus of structural rules adhered to by society, leaving the individual to discover their own truths using emotions and feelings. In the absence of a morality consensus within society, individual beliefs replace reality assuming factual status and facts based on reality become opinions. In this back to front upside down world of non-judgmental morality and safe spaces there is no right or wrong, no good or evil, no logic or truth and reality becomes whatever the individual believes it is. Beliefs becomes facts and are just as real producing the current ‘create your own reality’ movement. Using postmodernism, boys can become girls, Mr. Trump a Nazi and every white American a racist. Put the beliefs into practice and it produced the previous National Socialist Brown Shirts, China’s communist Red Guard and currently, Black Clad anarchist Antifa.
Yuri Bezmenov, a former Soviet defector from the 1980s explains the process of indoctrination in an updated Obama era video (ignore the silly music introduction), explaining how the extreme left were able to manipulate successive generations. This is common knowledge outside the US, however and with a touch of irony, it’s now left (pun intended) to the former Soviet Union urging the US not to go down the same path. The real enemies of the US are not Russia or China, they’re US citizens sitting in Congress or running Democrat led sanctuary cities and no one else is to blame for voting them in.
The way forward
For those who say the US electorate would never vote for communism, a reminder that only recently half the US electorate didn’t realize they’d voted in a homosexual and communist thinking he was a Messiah come to heal the world!
Ironically, after two terms the same population voted in a businessman based on promises that he would re-create an industrial revolution, make America rich, build walls … Again, all based on beliefs. Clearly, this level of 20th century European gullibility has to stop to prevent the U.S. going down the same road.
As the US approaches its 2020 election cycle forget MAGA, trade wars, the disastrous foray into the Middle East and building walls. The one question not asked of Mr. Trump is: What have you done to counter eight years of Obama’s extreme left indoctrination?
At some point in the near future, abandoning the usual finger pointing circus politics and empty promises, a president will have to sit down with the US population and decide which direction to take. Will President Trump do that, or will the 2020 election become merely another MAGA charade and a tax cut v ‘safe’ geriatric Joe Biden with the hardcore left of Harris, Cortez, Omar and Tlaib pulling the strings?
Finally and introducing humour content in what is otherwise a serious topic, I now give the floor to Mr. Obama to have the last word and as a bonus for the readers of this article, a keepsake of memories to treasure from the Obama era.
