Marxism

Most people know little about Marxism and need more knowledge on the subject. For instance, how did Marxism take hold in this country without anyone noticing until it was clawing away at our freedoms? If we look closely around us, we might be surprised at some of the people who are doing the clawing.

Do not forget this: People are groomed to be Marxists. They are carefully selected and people often self-select to be mentored in Marxism. It happens every day. And it’s been happening for a very long time in America. How do I know? Well, it’s because I was encouraged and trained in the Marxist Method, first by those practicing the Marxist Method themselves (they may not have realized their handlers were Marxists) and later as a protégée of an avowed Marxist. Only I didn’t know it at the time. I, of course, was only one of thousands similarly enticed across the country. My own mentor had numerous protégés, many of whom I came to realize were gay. We protégés had little day-to-day contact with each other. And that, I’m sure, was by design. Had we known what each of us was up to, we likely would not have been so cooperative in the worthy group effort that united us: The American Civil Rights Movement. Or we might have compared notes and decided we didn’t want to further each other’s more personal agendas. No, we stayed, at least for a while, blissfully ignorant, not entirely understanding the who andthe what of the political company we kept. We were young, impressionable, sometimes alienated but always seeking greater autonomy from anxious or overweening parents. We just knew we were changing the world for the better. It felt great to be appreciated, considered important, to be working under the guiding hand of someone older, but not too much older; someone in the know, well placed, intelligent, well-read, cheerful, always encouraging, affirming us as talented, valuable persons. We were praised for unselfishly standing for the disenfranchised, the disrespected, those without the legal power to do much for themselves. Oh, how we identified! (That, by the way, is powerful “triangulation” and “layering.”)

So, why is any of this important to know or revisit now? Because, by and large, Marxists initially crafted their message to rally young people and adults who had grown up with Christian values but were not well trained in the Scriptures (and they’re doing it again!). And, because what was done below the radar then is flying formidably above us now, strafing us, bombing our constitutional infrastructure, obstructing our vision with the smoke of deliberately set political and social fires, and driving us into the open, frightened and angry at the same time. This is a time to act, but more often than not, we’ve just reacted (no well thought-out strategic plan) or done nothing (wallowed in despair). This is a time to thinkand act. And the thinking must be ‘big picture” and self- critical. Otherwise, the sins of omission committed in the past and all they did to further the agenda of the Marxists, will be impossible to overcome. You see, they know we are one of the best tools in their tool box!

I do see signs of hope: The TEA Party movement has emerged to the utter shame of the Republican Party. It is challenging the brain-dead thinking of those still surrendering their votes to Leftists whose policies are directly responsible for most of the social and economic ills we face today. They are having some impact. The Tea Partiers also have shocked and frightened Republican Party stalwarts who have been doing the same thing for so long with the same pathetic results and are threatened by voters who now demand accountability or their jobs.

Anyone who’s been to a TEA Party rally has felt the energy and desire to “get ‘er done” and know the blanket charges of racism are ludicrous. Democrats make these statements to disguise the fact they have been promoting genocide among blacks for decades and more recently encouraging Hispanics to be law breakers. The Tea Partiers – bless their souls – are attempting to demonstrate that it is the institutionalizing Democrats that block all efforts to unleash the native intelligence and skills of those kept poor by deception and fraud. Various conservative politicians and organizations are still on the job, but they are not “boots on the ground.” New entities have formed, bringing new political communication tools to the average American. But these, as yet, have not saved American Freedom for the same reason. Please take note: Low tech relationship building at the precinct level is the foundation of high-tech communication success on election day. The Tea Party has a sense that this is true but it is not yet a political organization. The Republican Party hasn’t figured any of this out yet and hasn’t given Michael Steele the green light to do what he instinctively knows to do.

Something essential is missing. It is an understanding of how we got to this awful place in our history, where our very rights are daily threatened with extinction. And it is that understanding that can translate into something that really has never existed, no matter what the Republican Party and its similarly minded allied-organizations say. We have never had true conservative political organization at the grass roots, one that tells the Republican Party what to do. Real grass roots organization engages body, mind and spirit, commands personal and neighborhood resources, acts at the micro-level, has a broad understanding of issues and the ability to understand and triangulate them and personalize them in a brief conversation; the mental agility and rhetoric to engage dissimilar voting groups around hard and fast principles, and the guts to get out and do the leg work, to be the ‘boots on the ground” where you seek the mind of fellow Americans in intellectual battle. These are the unseen activities that don’t make the news. The fact that they are unseen is why they are extremely effective.

Principles are great, but if you cannot take them to a neighborhood where people are ignorant of them and show them how those principles can work for and improve the lives of the people who live there, those principles have no life. This is where Republicans conservatives, and even many Christian churches, failed. They wait for people to come to them, rather than go out to meet people where they are and lead them to where they need to go. Going out to the people with their “plan” for improving people’s lives is what Marxists do without fail, day after day, year after year, religiously, relentlessly, rain or shine. Believe me, they have read and studied the Bible. They know this is exactly what Jesus did. And they have hijacked His principles and methods for their own godless purposes.

If only we could see some of our enemies as people who need to be saved from a lie, we could win enough of them to save American Freedom and meet the Marxists on a level playing field armed with the truth.
