Marxism is a powerful ideology. At least in prospect. It never does well in practice.
This understanding also explains why George Soros is funding the campus protests.
He does so through his Open Society organisation which money trickles down -- perhaps streams down is better analogy -- to the likes of Social Justice for Palestine and Jewish Voices for Peace. Wondering over the years why Soros, a guy both Jing and I used to admire, was so committed to funding District Attorneys and Attorneys General who were soft on crime, it was explained to me, by Soros himself, when he said that “you have to destroy something in order to rebuild”. You can’t be incremental, he said. That’s an out-and-out Marxist concept. You have to destroy. Problem is the rebuilding never quite works out.
Apparently it was Mao Tse-tung who said “you have to break some eggs to make an omelette”. And someone with quicker wit that me, who said “perhaps, but where’s the omelette?”

There is nothing conspiratorial about believing that it’s all down to Marxism. When Socialism, Communism, had its great failures in the 1980s and 1990s, with the fall of the Berlin Wall, the failure of the Soviet Union and so on, we all, so many of us, include me, thought “well, that’s it. Communism’s over. No-one can push it now”. Well, we were wrong. Because they brushed themselves off and regrouped. The likes of Antonin Gramsci and Michel Foutcault, and a group known as the Frankfurt School, started the concept of “the Long March through the Institutions”. That’s what they’ve done. Through our schools and our universities, and through out government civil servants. It’s now having its flowering. They were never secret about it. That’s why it’s not a conspiracy theory. They were and are open about it.
We just didn’t listen.
