Overthrowing America.......

Is Gramsci’s Theory for Overthrowing America Being Realized?

Written on Tuesday, November 20, 2012 by David L. Goetsch (patriotupdate.com)

In view of Barack Obama’s re-election, consider the following quote from Stanislav Mishin, writing in PRAVDA—the state newspaper of Russia: “It must be said that, like the breaking of a great dam, the American descent into Marxism is happening with breathtaking speed, against the backdrop of a passive, hapless sheeple—excuse me dear reader—I meant people.” Is it possible that outsiders who are steeped in what Marxism really looks like can see what Americans cannot?

Most Americans have heard of Karl Marx and his plan for overthrowing democratic governments through armed revolts of the workers. But few Americans have heard of Antonio Gramsci. This is too bad because Gramsci is the communist philosopher who developed a theory specifically for overthrowing America. Gramsci thought that overthrowing the United States through an armed revolt of indigenous workers was unrealistic. He theorized that a better approach would be to undermine the culture and morality of America so that our country would destroy itself from within.

His plan was for intellectual elites to take control of colleges, universities, public schools, and the government and to use their control to destroy the America of our Founders in the name of progressivism. Sound familiar? Gramsci called his theory “cultural hegemony.” As I consider the re-election of Barack Obama and think about the cultural and moral changes that have occurred in America in just the short span of my lifetime, I have to wonder if we are seeing the realization of Gramsci’s theory. This column explains just a few of the main tenets of his theory.

Gramsci admonished college professors and the leftwing media to refer to communist dictators as “Chairmen,” “Leaders,” and “Presidents,” but never as “dictators.” This type of rhetorical misdirection would soften the views of the public at large to communist leaders. The communist tyrant, Mao, was always referred to in the media and by leftwing professors as “Chairman Mao.” Castro is still referred to as “Premier” or “political leader,” but never as “communist dictator.” Even Joseph Stalin, a dictator who exterminated 30 million of his own people, was referred to fondly as “Uncle Joe” or respectfully as “Premier.”

Another tenet of Gramsci’s theory was gradualism. He knew how Americans would react to armed insurrection by indigenous workers or anyone else. Consequently, Gramsci recommended a slow transition first to socialism and then to communism. The transition to socialism would be done under the guise of saving jobs during times of economic recession. The government would take control of businesses or even whole business sectors to rescue them from bankruptcy. Sound familiar?

Another of Gramsci’s strategies was to promote the United Nations as the best hope for world peace and a one-world government. Once the United Nations was firmly established, the nest step would be to ensure control of the body by communist nations and their surrogates. This meant getting communist China established in a seat on the United Nations Security Council and giving voice to all of the smaller nations around the world that are either controlled or heavily influenced by communist nations such as China. Again this should sound familiar.

Marx missed the boat concerning how to overthrow America, but Gramsci appears to have hit the mark. Well before Barack Obama was elected the first time, America was well down the road in implementing the various tenets of Gramsci’s theory. But under the Obama administration the process has speeded up.

  • Word for word.

  • Benghazi Adolf Obama is a mere over paid puppet.

  • So here is the most important question...."What are "WE THE PEOPLE", the VETERANS and the PATRIOTS who DON'T WANT TO GO DOWN THIS PATH, GOING TO DO? AND WHEN?

    • The 16 trillion dollar question...

      Let the sob crash...and stop swirling around the drain...gotta stop somewhere, before you can start again!

    • ''WE THE PEOPLE'' BETTER GET HOLD OF THIS FAST....DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO START & GET OUR COUNTRY BACK...DO WE HAVE ANYONE OUT THERE TO HELP US, WHERE DO WE GO, I'M READY FOR THE FIEGHT BEEN READY FOR 4 YRS, AND ALL WE DO IS TALK.....

      • There are no "Leaders" that are willing to lead the rest of us. No Battleplan,  Nobody with the understanding of this size in Nature to plan the Assault, it would require at least a 3 or 4 star-general to put the battleplan together, most people can't see the view from 10,000 feet like a good general can, they have the experience. The foot soldiers can only see what is what happening in the immediate area. This is where we are at, NO LEADERSHIP, IN TERMS OF PLANNING STRATEGY. WE need a Military grade planner....

        • Clois dear reader, it takes more than a General of 3 or 4 star rank.  Do you not understand that they have a staff of Lt.s, Capt.s, Majors, Lt. Col.s and Col.s to make up the actual battle Plan?  It is extensive and is always merely a plan or jumping off plan.  Once it starts, it never goes exactly like it was planned although some are much better planned than others and that takes some actual hands on and time to perfect it and marshal one's assets to get to the point to actually start it.  The first Gulf War was one of the very best in this respect and look how long it took to get it ready.  I cannot say that there is a team working on our battle plan, nor can I say that there is a General or two (actually it would take more than a few in strategic locations to initiate such a plan if indeed it did exist and indeed if it had enough troops to make it an effective exercise in how to take back one's country with a minimum of bloodshed (preferably the so-called progressives and their mouthpieces in the mainstream media not to mention sympathizers (read those inclined to stay on the dole no matter what)....and besides Clois, it takes more than just a team to organize and plan, it takes willing soldiers to actually put the boots on the ground and go up against those that would try to stop the plan from ever gaining a foothold.  Are you ready for that?  If the answer is yes and you can point to a few million more that are also ready for that, then let us get it on  otherwise, there will just be more talk.  From where I sit, I see no indication that anyone is willing to do anything more than just talk at this juncture.  Semper Fi....

          • Well said Richard, thanks. You and Clois, and all others are entitled to know, there are a few "Generals " forming planning groups. I will say no more on this here.

            • Ronald, count me in, and if I can help, you have my general location. Get in touch.

          • No battle plan survives the first engagement intact.
