The Challenge of Marxism
written by Yoram Hazony

I. The collapse of institutional liberalism

For a generation after the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, most Americans and Europeans regarded Marxism as an enemy that had been defeated once and for all. But they were wrong. A mere 30 years later, Marxism is back, and making an astonishingly successful bid to seize control of the most important American media companies, universities and schools, major corporations and philanthropic organizations, and even the courts, the government bureaucracy, and some churches. As American cities succumb to rioting, arson, and looting, it appears as though the liberal custodians of many of these institutions—from the New York Times to Princeton University—have despaired of regaining control of them, and are instead adopting a policy of accommodation. That is, they are attempting to appease their Marxist employees by giving in to some of their demands in the hope of not being swept away entirely.

We don’t know what will happen for certain. But based on the experience of recent years, we can venture a pretty good guess. Institutional liberalism lacks the resources to contend with this threat. Liberalism is being expelled from its former strongholds, and the hegemony of liberal ideas, as we have known it since the 1960s, will end. Anti-Marxist liberals are about to find themselves in much the same situation that has characterized conservatives, nationalists, and Christians for some time now: They are about to find themselves in the opposition.

This means that some brave liberals will soon be waging war on the very institutions they so recently controlled. They will try to build up alternative educational and media platforms in the shadow of the prestigious, wealthy, powerful institutions they have lost. Meanwhile, others will continue to work in the mainstream media, universities, tech companies, philanthropies, and government bureaucracy, learning to keep their liberalism to themselves and to let their colleagues believe that they too are Marxists—just as many conservatives learned long ago how to keep their conservatism to themselves and let their colleagues believe they are liberals.

This is the new reality that is emerging. There is blood in the water and the new Marxists will not rest content with their recent victories. In America, they will press their advantage and try to seize the Democratic Party. They will seek to reduce the Republican Party to a weak imitation of their own new ideology, or to ban it outright as a racist organization. And in other democratic countries, they will attempt to imitate their successes in America. No free nation will be spared this trial. So let us not avert our eyes and tell ourselves that this curse isn’t coming for us. Because it is coming for us.

You're right @NoCoupForYou

It's great. Lots of good insights.

BLM = violent one-party Marxism

You do hear guilty liberals who believe in shock and horror that their 'enlightened' altruistic liberalism has given birth to a monster, and it has driven them more centrist.

Progressivism is nothing more than a pirate's excuse for one segment of the population to murder and plunder another group, and then sit in the ashes with their useless slogans and failed policies, generating a new elite whose only option is to crush to populace by further force and murder. Think CHAZ/CHOP written large.

However, the new society is almost by definition devoid of the productivity of any free market society they plundered. They also wind up eating their own, because the central ruling junta has to remain small and exclusive, and there is not enough room at the table for all the useful (but now useless) idiots.

Some of it comes from the Globalists who think that communism is the best vehicle to beguile the free shit dreams of the populace, and that they can control it while maintaining their royal exempt elitism. They could just as easily choose fascism, but that is probably not as good for fooling the foolish masses. As history has shown, fascists can start out as nominal socialists to sell their ideas. In the end, either group wind up resembling each other in their extremes.

The celebrities and many wealthy are on board, because they see themselves as in the exempt class, never suffering the consequences of the baleful decision making.

There may be foreign powers involved, but I believe that our own alphabet agencies are participating in these current disruptions. All you hear from them seem to be purely token gestures. I believe they regard the American People and their useless Constitution as just another annoying foreign country to be controlled for corporations and banks.

The crude psychopathic cynicism is unapologetic nowadays compared to the smooth, under the radar way they attempted to operate just a few years ago.

Now, they just have decided to torture and proscribe us with things like Covid terrorism and riots, with our own willing participation, until they can get their own political puppets in place the way they want them. They have had so many covert successes since WWII that they have become purely arrogant, like Epstein's 'suicide in plain sight'.

The smoke in California is killing me, but one small comfort is that all the liberal assholes who are driving California into the ground have to breathe it too, or leave.

Good summary. The people are just an impediment to the corporations and the banks, and they disrupt things via the CIA, FBI, NSA...

Or maybe it is China. They certainly have a huge financial motive to prevent the people from electing Trump again.

No reason they wouldn't cooperate temporarily for a common goal, or at least not block each other aka all of those Dem politicians on the Chinese lobbyist payroll, who are also involved with intelligence. Being a traitor and a seditionist is almost fashionable, now, amongst Dems.

Read this again and it's amazingly good.

Liberalism leads to Marxism, once you overthrow all tradition.

But the Marxists will not be appeased because what they’re after is the conquest of liberalism itself—already happening as they persuade liberals to abandon their traditional two-party conception of political legitimacy, and with it their commitment to a democratic regime. The collapse of the bonds of mutual legitimacy that have tied liberals to conservatives in a democratic system of government will not make the liberals in question Marxists quite yet. But it will make them the supine lackeys of these Marxists, without the power to resist anything that “Progressives” and “Anti-Racists” designate as being important. And it will get them accustomed to the coming one-party regime, in which liberals will have a splendid role to play—if they are willing to give up their liberalism.

I know that many liberals are confused, and that they still suppose there are various alternatives before them. But it isn’t true. At this point, most of the alternatives that existed a few years ago are gone. Liberals will have to choose between two alternatives: either they will submit to the Marxists, and help them bring democracy in America to an end. Or they will assemble a pro-democracy alliance with conservatives. There aren’t any other choices.

Not all dissent is patriotic.
