Exceptional essay, David. I believe an introduction to Gramsci to those who do not yet know of him is long overdue. Marx and other notable radicals throughout history may have written their share of rules for destroying a free country and turning it into a communist, totalitarian one, but it is Gramsci's work that put them cohesively on a multi-generational path to (nearly) realizing it in a country as robustly free as America. Let's hope nearly is as close as it gets.
Oustanding work - thank you again for another thoughtful and interesting post!
I wonder, but not very hard, if what they espouse is so wonderful... then... why the secrecy? Why the subterfuge? Why the sabotage? For decades? Surely if the "Marxism" they all prattle on about is so wonderful, surely it would sell itself?
"The Devil's Pleasure Palace" by Michael Walsh is an excellent read, even if the silly bugger thinks Lee Harvey Oswald did it, acting alone... 🙄
Mention the long march through the institutions to the average America and it's like showing a wristwatch to a hog.
Outstanding excellent post nevertheless.

Thanks.
There were at least 2 good things Mussolini did while in power – well, besides getting the trains running on time:
1. He expelled Aleister Crowley
2. He locked up Antonio Gramsci
Another ‘Spot On!’ David. You’re very helpful at refocusing and sharpening our perspective.
Thanks

You see the same thing in their attacks on the right of self defense. If it’s such a good idea while all the deceit?
