Was Pete Buttigieg's Father a Marxist Who Spoke Fondly of 'Communist Manifesto'?
10 Feb 2020 ~ By Dan MacGuill
In early 2020, we received multiple inquiries from readers about the accuracy of a 10-month-old article which purported to highlight the left-wing ideology of Joseph Buttigieg, a prominent academic and the late father of Democratic presidential primary contender Pete Buttigieg.
In writing about Gramsci, Marxism, and concepts related to cultural hegemony, Joseph Buttigieg often engaged in comparative analysis and close reading of various texts, describing and contrasting the arguments of various contributors, assessing their weaknesses and strengths, and so on. This is typical of academic writing in the field of critical theory and philosophy. However, at times his own personal viewpoint became clear. Even more clearly than the first example, the ensuing passage demonstrates that Joseph Buttigieg did not merely study or write about Gramsci’s strand of Marxism — he himself subscribed to it:
Comment:
Indeed, Mayor Pete Buttigieg is a "Red Diaper Baby".....
So which candidate is worse? The trojan communists in sheep's clothing trying to sneak in on the sly, or the bold communists who come close to actually admitting what they are?
The bad part is, I think that as much as you could say you can respect Bernie for being honest about his positions.
Each of the leading Democratic candidates are Marxist Socialist Communists and Buttigieg is specifically a homosexual son of a communist. Venezuela and Cuba offer great weather, and every political position Buttigieg, Sanders, and Warren love, perhaps they should move to these spots.
Rather than being a Manchurian Candidate a la the Obama route, or by virtue of being a brainwashed POW, his dad did the ‘born and raised him to be the Manchurian Candidate’ thing?
Snopes is a slightly Left leaning, least biased source and in the case it is correct. Mayor Pete’s father was a rather famous Marxist and Professor of English at Notre Dame. He advocated a political strategy making the “long march” through American institutions to destroy American culture, political system, and institutions in favor of a Marxist system. Such a strategy is currently on going and produces people like Pete Buttigieg who lie about their background, intentions, and beliefs.
