EXCLUSIVE: ‘NextGen Marxism’s’ Infiltration Into American Life https://www.dailysignal.com/2024/04/05/exclusive-nextgen-marxism-what-is-this-cancer-taking-over-american-institutions/ What has happened to America? How did it become a land where teachers tell students they may have been born in the wrong body and where keeping your job could depend on affirming the lie that our society is systemically racist? These are just two examples of many in which a new Marxist ideology is gripping our nation’s institutions. But this isn’t the Soviet Marxism of the 1960s. This is “NextGen Marxism,” and it’s infiltrating every part of American life. NextGen Marxism is the new frontier in a 170-year-old war that has wreaked havoc in all corners of the world. It is the cultural Marxism of [early 20th-century Italian Antonio] Gramsci—the idea that to obtain civilizational transformation you must first undermine the existing culture; the manipulation of a raft of causes to ignite grievances; the use of grassroots organizing to create foot soldiers for focused campaigns, demonstrations, or even riots; and, crucially, the creation of revolutionary networks to strategize and coordinate. The use of race, sex, sexual orientation, climate, social justice, gender, animal rights; the denigration of beauty and the sublime; the consequent elevation of ugliness, chaos, and disorder; the decimation of the family; the abandonment of God—these and many other diverse struggles are fronts in a larger war.
