It’s All About the Revolution: Ten Techniques Marxists Have Deployed to Gain Influence​

19 Aug 2024 ~~ By Janet Levy

For an ideology born in a library to an loathsome scholar, Marxism has never shied from world conquest. Its earliest proponents, Marx and Engels included, were committed to inciting revolution in all countries. And Lenin, a man of praxis and internationalism, believed that besides revolution and warfare, the way to defeat capitalism was through propaganda.
To that end, the Left in America has engaged in cultural warfare – a “whole of society” revolution to destroy Western civilization. Critical Theory, wokeism, DEI, and ideas about gender fluidity – these are all distortions of reality deployed to change our system of values, beliefs, attitudes, and preferences. Leftists believe that by doing so, they will cause existing social structures to crumble. They think anarchic socialism will then become viable, emerging from the chaos of a society without order and values.
The following ten are among the techniques of influence the Left uses regularly. The list is by no means exhaustive, nor without a degree of overlap. Some methods are as old as time, but some are unique to Marxists. Awareness of them could help thwart the Left’s malign intentions.
  • Manipulation of language:
  • Rewriting history:
  • Gaslighting:
  • DARVO (or, Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offender):
  • Identity politics:
  • Disinformation and obfuscation:
  • Oppressor vs. Oppressed:
  • Entryism:
  • Degrowth:
  • Playing the victim:
~Snip~
In summing up, it might be worth pointing out that if cultural Marxist ideology seems muddled with contradictions, it is by design – to sow confusion and division, making it easier to gain influence and control. An example of such a contradiction is the putative ideal of feminism: advancing equality for women in all spheres of society. But if Marxists care about women, why would they put them in harm’s way by forcing them to share bathrooms with biological men posing (or “identifying”) as women? Why would they revile women who object to the intrusion as “transphobic”?
The truth is that the endgame is not about the issue – women’s rights, saving the planet, protecting transgenders/people of color, or whatever. It’s about fundamentally transforming American society and preparing the soil for communism. It’s all about the revolution.

Commentary:
Excellent article by Ms. Levy..
As Levy points out, w\What is interesting is that Marx was a hard-core racist. He hated black people, yet American blacks willingly follow his ideology which is devoted to putting them back on a (government-run) plantation.
Karl Marx never had a job, was supported by his Mother. Engels was the child of a family who owned a textile mill. Neither ever tilted up a business. And today our citizens believe marxism is a valid theory.
This subversion has been going on for 100 years back to Woodrow Wilson.. It Picked up steam in the 1960s as documented in the book "The Naked Communist" by W. Cleon Skousen.... then repurposed again in Unrestricted Warfare by China in 1999.
Now we have the full on MAOIST Insurgency model underway.
Similarly several or more Democrat Congressional Neo-Marxists also never worked a day in their lives and lived off their parents.
Democra Commies have been very successful. They've destroyed the family unit and 95% of Black Americans are brainwashed into welfare/promise, They deliver nothing) culture.
It's Democrats that created the Civil War, racism, Lynching of Blacks, Segregation. Poll Taxes, Uncle Tom, etc.
Now suddenly Democrat Neo-Marxists have abandoned Black people for the millions of illegal aliens coming from Central and South America.
It's close to a new election so therefore Democrats are pandering and promising more to Black people yet give nothing in return.

Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)—and its two predecessor organizations, the Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee (DSOC) and the New American Movement (NAM)—had their origins in the early 1970s, at the beginning of a long-term rightward shift of U.S. and global politics.

Commentary:
What Schwartz fails to tell the reader is that the Communist Party USA, originally funded and created Democrats socialists of America from the cremains' DSOC and NAM...

Entryism: This is a classic Leninist strategy of gaining control over organizations, especially centrist or non-hardline leftist political groups, by gradually infiltrating them and lying low until the crucial takeover. Such a takeover, of the Labor Party in Britain, is well-described in Frederick Forsyth’s The Fourth Protocol, a meticulously researched thriller praised for verisimilitude. An example closer to home is the Leftist takeover of humanities departments at American universities, once famous for their classical liberal education.
