THE LONG MARCH THROUGH THE INSTITUTIONS: THE LEFT’S REVOLUTION BY OTHER MEANS

We all know of Karl Marx's cry "Workers of the World, Unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains!" But the fact is, his exhortation was essentially ignored by those workers who were, frankly, pretty OK with the unprecedented prosperity and opportunity that came with free market capitalism.

So Marxists turned to something new to bring about the revolution they so desperately wanted.

Thus came about "The Long March Through the Institutions," an expression coined by Rudi Dutschke to encapsulate the strategy described by Antonio Gramsci: take over every one of our government and civic institutions, and wreck it from within. Instead of seeking to topple governments through economic means, turn to the cultural.

And that's exactly what's happened.

Those institutions and pillars of Western Civilization that contribute to its unprecedented successes have been and continue to be under attack.
