Cultural Marxist Influencers – Part 1-C – The Degeneration of America and Western Society

22 Dec 2023 Michael A

The core topic of this post is what CM wants to do with our 2-A rights. In my mini-series on the impact of Cultural Marxism (CM), on America and the church, this is the final installment of Part 1. I will soon again be focusing on Pastor Tim Keller, part 2-B. The last post, provided additional information of how CM is destroying America and the western world. In the initial paragraphs of this post, there is a recap of Theodor Adorno’s words, calling traditional American values, like family, God, love of country, traditional gender roles, pathological. The Marxist left, via CM, stands opposed to these things that our constitution called God-given rights; and that the Bible condones. This post covers one aspect of how CM aims to harm you and your community: not having the right to protect yourself and your family, when CM has installed many Marxist DA’s, who legislate in favor of criminals… is cause for alarm. If you are not alarmed, then you do not understand the facts. This post will help you familiarize yourself with some of those.
