more vindication for what I contended

Headline:

The Source Of The Marxist Takeover Of American Institutions Is So Obvious It Hurts

It is impossible to deny how far left all of America’s institutions have shifted in the past few years. Corporate board rooms, the media, sports teams and even the military all chant the same dogma and insist that you comply. 

How did that happen? As Ernest Hemingway wrote on how one goes bankrupt, “gradually, then suddenly.” Indeed, our leading institutions face a moral bankruptcy unprecedented in American history. 

This could not have happened without the left’s successful “long march through the institutions.” This term, made famous by radical academics in the 1960s, refers to the strategy used by “New Left” students of that era. They aimed to achieve long-term social and political change by infiltrating and subverting key institutions, particularly the elite universities they often attended. 

These radicals were the progenitors of the critical theories that plague our offices and our children’s schools today. They knew these ideas could never be sold democratically to the American public, so they instead sought to disrupt disciplines — sociology, anthropology, philosophy, and cultural studies — that were more amenable to their critical perspectives.

Through their research, teaching, and activism, they eventually came to dominate entire departments or even university leadership. This power was then used to launder their ideology to a new generation of students who would unquestioningly carry it with them into the “real world.”

Now go back and read my 2021 piece on American wokeism, plus my followup piece in which I quote extensively from a blog called Word On Fire. Now, with the Daily Caller chiming in and coming to the same conclusions I did, I feel safe saying I told you so.

  1. Hopefully, people are waking up to what is happening, and you will no longer be a voice in the wilderness.
