I've been seeing posts and videos about the relationship between Social Justice Warriors and Marx/Marxism, especially after the Berkeley riots as well as the post-election violence. It makes sense given that SJWs are the result of the global Marxist agenda. The SJW movement shows how successful Cultural Marxism has been in America. The video traces the evolution of Cultural Marxism from its incipiency after WWI to the present, using cultural, political and economic indicators along the way.
The last election was about a lot more than Clinton vs. Trump, it was America attempting to reject the Cultural Marxist influence by political and cultural elites. SJWs embody the Collectivist ideal and the rejection of the last election has them in a frenzy. Funded by Collectivist George Soros, for the most part, they are lashing out. This video features Dr. Ron Paul and G. Ed Griffin, as well as Pat Buchanan and others. It also provides a solution for America and the SJW revolt.
Thank you for bringing this great documentary to my attention. As an European, I feel I finally have been redpilled on what America is (was) and what has made it the greatest country for so long - which is absolutely not visible today with all the Marxist propaganda, and even good Americans I believe are unable to explain nowadays. I hope You the People manage to get your republic back, for the greater good of yourselves and the world. I feel like the US is still the greatest country but on the verge of becoming no different from European countries, except more dangerous. People need to read more and understand the intentions of the founding fathers.
There's a huge machine at work trying to silence any Americans that speak out against the globalist agenda. There are many good Americans left, in fact most of us. Don't believe what you see in the media- it's just part of the propaganda machine.
If you look at a map that shows how the electoral votes were dispersed in the last election, you'll see the story! America (the real one) will prevail in the end!!!
I believe that! I believe in America even as an European. I believe your forefathers set up the constitution based on everything they had learned from the history of Europe, all our mistakes, and designed it to avoid it all. Your people are strong because they stand on the shoulders of giants. Best wishes to you, also because whatever America ends up doing, the rest of the world will follow, one way or the other.
They drew heavily from John Locke, Adam Smith and many other Europeans. Now I'm afraid America is following Europe into the abyss!

Identity politics is part of the dishonesty that is one of the Four Pillars of leftism
While dishonesty is baked into leftist dogma (Mwarx, Lenin, Negri, Gramsci), the specific tool of identity politics as "victimology" is born of the Frankfurt School and wholeheartedly modified for use against Americans in New Left politics (Marcuse, Alinsky)
They cover that on the film. The Frankfurt School moved to Columbia Univ. I forget if they mention that in the vid. Thanks for your support, as always, you're appreciated.
I am finding it harder and harder to assimilate information from video. Audio? Forget it!
I need to read. Diagrams and charts. Argument and dates.
I figgered they covered the Frankfurt School, but there is the deliberate use of dishonesty that has always been part of leftist ideology from the beginning.
That's not socialism
Like Marx said...the end justifies the means.
Sir,
By your photo, you are old enough to recognize the fact that unregulated business is just as likely to move into the hands of the wealthy and powerful in not just the capitalist system, but in most others as well. You should also know, given the numerous examples that exist that an unregulated sector is just as likely to cause problems as a regulated sector. The problem is not how many laws there are but human nature.
I'm sorry, but that video starts off with enough red flags that I cannot even take it seriously. If you had kept religion out of it and presented it as a purely intellectual argument, instead of trying to draw Christians in, I would be able to appreciate, even if I didn't agree with it. Starting a video with politico-religious rhetoric, mentioning terms and names that Americans are only generally passingly familiar with (in a negative, knee-jerk sense for the most part, since that is the dominant undertone in schools and the media), and providing an altered definition undermine the integrity of the video. I'm sure that fans of Pat will be delighted to watch him state his opinion. I had hoped I might learn something but your video isn't designed to provide a balanced opinion - it is there to reinforce the existing opinion of one group of conservatives.
There is nothing particularly wrong with what Marx and Engels proposed - they sought to fight the accumulation of wealth which is, no matter what system of governance, built on the backs of many for the benefit of the few. The idea that people get their share based on their actual contributions is a fair concept - a CEO getting the lion's share just because of their skills in running the company from a macro perspective doesn't fly; too many other people live below an acceptable level financially, as well as in terms of healthcare and education, and the environment nearly always suffers in an unregulated market. Imagine what kind of nation we'd have if everyone got the best education, instead of the mediocre education most receive in public schools - America would be a paragon instead of the bully it currently is!
Unfortunately, Marxism contains the same flaw that exists in all extant systems - it is undermined by the variety of human behavior.
If you are willing to provide a briefly summary of what the video covers that is factual rather than rhetoric, I might reconsider watching it.
The claim that people on the left regularly engage in dishonesty to forward their goals is as ridiculous as it is unfair. There are people in every part of the political spectrum who are willing to lie, cheat, steal and kill to get what they want. Are you going to tell me that Jack Abramoff (a long-standing Republican), or companies like Anderson and Enron, which had strong ties to Republicans like Bush, Rove, Cheney, etc., were not Republican, or that they were falsely prosecuted? Are you going to claim that the human rights and employee rights abuses that occurred in industries like coal mining, railroad laying, oil and many other industries were because of regulation? Or that the BP disaster was because of Democrats lying instead of the greed of BP execs? You cannot blame an entire part of the political spectrum for what criminals of all political allegiances do and expect me to take you seriously.
