And they hate you because, since you know what your morality is and why it is, you're not afraid.

Marin can be said to be an advanced case of what is even now transforming America.

That's a very good article. I'm going to give it more thought when I get a chance.

My own suspicion is that there's another layer under "personal is political." That the Gramscian politics we see all round us is really a cover for souls moving towards total self-worship and rebellion against all things higher then the individual, things that demand we be servants.Christianity, various philosophies, Western Civilization, America and Israel....

That could explain why we don't see any of our latter-day Gramscians writing letters from prison--because nobody now believes in the Revolution enough to sacrifice themselves to it. And it explains why wealthy businessmen are on the seemingly-sociallist side of things...

"And it explains why wealthy businessmen are on the seemingly-sociallist side of things..."

As government creates more power in terms of regulation and economic control, businesses need to be more and more intimately connected with (meaning bribing) government officials in order to get their interests protected. This means that a big company can always go for tax hikes, knowing that the attending legal, political, and business costs will bankrupt smaller competition, allowing the Big Companies (which the Leftist Progressive Regressive soci[a]lists pretend to fight against) can stay in business and not have to change anything: not their prices, not their Union policies, not their employment contracts, and certainly not anything that would make them more competitive with their overseas competition (which also happen to be government subsidized).

As for Bill Gates and Warren, they operate mostly out of guilt. Guilt that others have less than they. Guilt that they have too much, that America has been too good to them. So their repayment to America is to "transform" America into some new order, one in which future Bill Gates may never be created, but of course, that's not really an important worry to the already rich and powerful class in America.

In psychological terms, political destabilization of the United States exploits the natural impulse of the young and the foolish to rebel and do unwise things. As seen in Castro's Cuba or Khomeini's Iran, once the Leftist agitprops have been rendered past their use by date, they will be executed and gotten rid of. Both sides think they are simply "using" the other for their own nefarious purposes, but in the end, just as with Stalin and Hitler, they will try to exterminate each other and only one side will emerge the victor.

Concerning religion and a lack of spirituality and ethical philosophy, the cycles perpetuate themselves. The less people are certain, the more they will look towards a group identity to "belong to". The more you break the power of religion or the military in America, the more likely people will join the group of the Left. Render the image of religions and the military as a bunch of mass murderers, cowards, and corrupt fanatic/idiots and you will, just like in advertisement, drive up your "sales".

because nobody now believes in the Revolution enough to sacrifice themselves to it.

They don't need to. The Left's alliance with the Islamic Jihad should fulfill that little gap. It is an alliance of mutual interests and both sides think the other will be powerless once final victory is achieved. As seen in Europe, the Left doesn't need their own 'Revolutionaries' to destroy their own society. They can just out source it.

An Addendum before the comments close. This is due to the fact that people like Bill Gates did not create the system which allowed them the opportunity to succeed. Gates either created his own luck or simply exploited the opportunities he had available to him. He did not, however, create the system that allowed such opportunities to present themselves (which is also true for the general technological/social/security level that was present, which allowed for the explosion of PCs).

Businessmen are not here to engineer society, mind you. That is why I say it isn't something they care about. It is something they never had to care about. The system took care of all those social problems for them. So when businessmen come to enough power and wealth that they can start changing the system, we have, essentially, often people with good intentions that don't actually know what makes the system work. They know how to exploit the system, but not how to maintain it. So they don't know whether what they are doing is hurting or helping, except on a purely emotional level.

The Gramscians, however, need allies with influence that are part of the "dominant" cultural matrix in order to better destroy the legitimacy of the dominant cultural norm. This includes businessmen, since successful businessmen have influence and wealth. And politicians need campaign contributions. Businesses need ways to kill the competition or tax loopholes or other things. Between these 3, not to mention all the others hanging around, you have a mighty strong alliance between mutual interests.

The Obamamessiah is also BIG NEWS over here in Australia. People are hoping that he will bring change,and anyone who thinks differently about him are also ostracised or questioned about the validity of their position

My guess is that the whole world will wake up with a bit of a hangover in a few months.
