After decades of painstaking effort, cultural Marxists poised to tame the masses

1/22/11, "The taming of the masses," American Thinker, Jed Gladstein

• Cultural Marxists poised after decades of breaking the American spirit.
  

"They pretend to value personal initiative, but they routinely discourage it in favor of bureaucratic conformity. Instead of rewarding personal merit, they erect a barrier of institutionalized mediocrity

• behind which the ruling elite can take shelter from truly independent thinkers.

All of these things are done, say the cultural Marxists, in order to fashion a better world. But their rationale rings hollow, for the tactics they use are the ones tyrants have used through the ages in order to secure power.

Taming the masses is the name of the game for tyrants, and they play that game with ruthless determination. For the last sixty years, cultural Marxists have been indoctrinating American students with moral and cultural relativism, spoon-feeding them anti-American propaganda, and depriving them of the knowledge they need to recognize

• the obsession with power that lies beneath the Marxist mask of cultural sensitivity.

Those students now occupy positions of great influence in America, and they are leading tens of millions of

• kindhearted Americans into a future where people must willingly accept the dictatorial rule of a small group of elites or be forced to pay

with their lives and their prosperity.

For the people who know the history and understand the threat, the time has come to call out the fraudulent "left-wing" cultural Marxists and show the people of America that beneath the veneer of their rhetoric is the reality of "right-wing" totalitarianism. If it isn't done soon, the people of America will be tamed by the tyrants in our midst, and the Founding Fathers' dream of a free people who can govern themselves in a righteous Republic

• will come to an inglorious end."
