Marxism: Rotting US Institutions From Within

[Maddox]

In a time when traditional Marxism was unfashionable because of its economic failures, Marxists were adapting by taking over the US colleges and planting new seeds in the minds of our nation's youth.

We know this now because it's easy to play Monday morning quarterback and look back to how Marxism has grown and taken over the US, especially in the last 10 years. But Ayn Rand saw this happening back in 1979, a time when no one even suspected this was going on. I myself didn't notice the rot until the early 90s. But here is Ayn on the Tom Synder show spelling out how the Left is destroying our country by preaching collectivism, mysticism, and altruism.

... Ayn Rand saw this happening back in 1979...

Saw what happening? Great, another jewish woman immigrant with all the answers to America's non-existant "problems." And of course Tom has to chime in with "The sky is falling, the sky is falling... there is war and people can't afford gas!" The anti-Christian MSM JQ gloom and doom in full effect way back in 1979.

Life is still good here if you stick your head in the sand and don't listen to the news which as we can see even way back in 79' offered us nothing of real value except pie in the sky ideas of intellectualized non-violent "resistance." A lot of good that did.

Doesn't offer us anything of value? She just laid out how the Communists were going to regroup and change our country's future by going through our colleges and getting into the minds of young adults. That's a lot more value than anything you'd see on MSM these days unless you were watching Tucker. And he only seems to comment on things that have already taken place when it's too late to do anything about them.

If people had listened to her when she made these statements and then taken action, they could have removed these professors from the educational system and prevented all of this in the first place. And like she said, we also needed more leadership on the right to hold our ideas in higher regard and what that would entail from us as a populace to ensure that the America of old didn't waiver from its course.

If you read her books - she isn’t a paragon of orthodox Christian values. She believes in law of the jungle and looks down on mercy and the values Christ taught. The only thing me and her have in common is we both don’t like Thomas Hobbes Leviathan and believe in freedom.

This thread isn't to question whether Ayn Rand had Christian values or not. This thread isn't about Ayn Rand at all.

So fair enough if you don't like her because she was an atheist, or a Jew, or whatever. The point I'm trying to make is someone realized what was going on in the schools way back in the 70s and talked about it on live TV in front of millions of people who promptly shrugged their shoulders and did nothing in response.

She was a child when she - with her family - lived through and experienced the Bolshevik Revolution in Russia. It turned her into an anti-Marxist/anti-Communist.

Edit. Let's not get off track by just posting "ugh, another ((()))!" or "she was anti-Christian!", which had nothing to do with Marxism/Communism.

Fair enough. I can appreciate that. All I was trying trying to say is sure, she didn’t like Marxism and warned us. However ever heard the phrase “a building that would make Howard Roark proud” she makes her views clear in the book what she believes. She’s more so a utilitarian and believes in law of the jungle. Look at the relationship between Howard and Dominique. It’s clear what she believes. Honestly, that can be as bad as marxism. A winner takes it all law of the jungle - burn the orphanage - doesn’t make for a very harmonious society.
