“This is Abdication”Thursday, January 27th, 2011
It’s the triumph of Antonio Gramsci. That’s why the voters are so stupid.
Gramsci, you’ll recall, had the brilliant insight that socialism must be built from within, by occupying and co-opting the power structures of “capitalist” society. The entire American educational establishment has been in the hands of idiot Marxoids (redundant, I know) for 50 years. How’s that working out? Little Johnny respects Native American culture and has “self-esteem” out the blowhole, but reading comprehension? Basic arithmetic? The fundamentals of logic? Ehhhh, notsomuch. The saddest thing is that Gramsci’s most loyal foot soldiers couldn’t even spell his name right, much less recognize any of his ideas. They are, if anything, dumber than the kids they purport to educate (Thomas Sowell looks to have a good book on just what goes on in “colleges” of “education”). If we ever want to dig ourselves out of this societal hole, before we shoot all the lawyers (note to Maddow etc.: speaking metaphorically here), we need to shoot every single member of every single teachers’ union (again: metaphorically. I don’t want them dead; I just want them sent somewhere they can never do any more harm. They’re all so hot on “social justice,” teaching that instead of, say, math…. why not send ’em all to the Peace Corps? I hear Outer Mongolia’s nice this time of year).
