The United States is well on its way to Marxism and may be further along than many people thought. It is well known that there are many professors in American universities that espouse Marxist, collectivist viewpoints. They do so openly.

But how far does this go? How harmful is a bunch of hippie Marxist rhetoric? Aren’t these just the rantings of some isolated loons? The argument I will put forth says that it is all around us. It permeates everything. It influences our thoughts and deeds. It is used by the UN. It is used by Democrats. Hell, it is even used by Republicans in the Senate. It is used by anyone pushing any sort of globalist agenda. Karl Marx would be proud.

A dialectic is an argument, based on dialect; on discussion. The Hegelian Dialectic is a Marxist theory introduced by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, a German philosopher. This theory alters deductive and inductive reasoning; the mechanism by which we interpret the world around us. With deductive reasoning, you look at generalizations to arrive at specifics. You use your power of observation. All dogs bark is one such generalization. But through further observations, you reason that one bark is reserved for intruders, one for dinner, another for potty time. Patterns of behavior prove this to a sufficient degree. But with Hegel’s teachings, deductive and inductive reasoning are out. No longer does 1 + 1 = 2.

The Hegelian Dialectic -simply put- is exemplified as follows:

Thesis + Antithesis = Synthesis.

The synthesis in this case is a “mashup” of the two competing ideas. By creating the tension; the basis for an argument; the thesis against the antithesis; the one using the dialectic is able to bring about the synthesis. The danger lies in the iterative -or repetitive- nature of the dialectic. It is drilled down to the lowest common denominator, virtually guaranteeing social change. Every synthesis is the thesis of a new dialectic and the process repeats in an infinite loop, until there is no more basis for dissent.

One example of this is global warming:

Thesis: “My God, our fossil fuel emissions are causing global warming, an epic catastrophe that we must immediately act to prevent or we’re dead meat.”

Antithesis: “It’s all hogwash, the Earth isn’t getting any warmer, nothing is happening. Even if it was, man isn’t causing it.”

Synthesis: “It may or may not be happening and man may or may not be causing it but to not act would be foolish.”

Another example is Illegal immigration:

Thesis: “Illegal aliens are criminals and leeches who only want to come here to deposit anchor babies, claim benefits and take American jobs, with no desire for assimilation. They should be loaded up into buses and deported.”

Antithesis: ” ‘Mexican migrants’ ” are only escaping oppression and economic hardship in their own countries and are coming here to work hard and provide a better life for their own families.”

Synthesis: ” ‘Undocumented workers’ ” may be here illegally, but they work hard, doing jobs that Americans won’t do and contribute their fair share. Besides, we couldn’t possibly round up and deport millions of people.’

This dialectic is dangerous. It can be applied in virtually any situation where people are polarized on an issue. War, gay rights, abortion. I challenge you to think critically. Apply that reasoning to any political situation you can think of and you’ll come to the same conclusion that I did. That the two-party system exists by staking out the two most extreme positions on any issue and then moving to the middle on a compromise measure that works for everyone. Some call this consensus building, I call it Marxism.

It started with liberal forced diversity.

It escalated with the ACLU’s war on Christ and Christmas.

It erupted with the coordinated assault on Santa Claus, Frosty and the Easter Bunny.

It continues to this day with actions such as the swearing in of Keith Ellison on a Koran, the refusal of Muslim Cabbies to transport dogs or people who drank alcohol. I could go on for days. All of these outrages are designed to seek a predetermined middle ground, where consenus disappears and American individuality no longer expresses itself.

And Republicans just watch…

The country your grandfathers fought to secure is slipping away, consumed by the ideologies they died trying to snuff out and aided by the two-party system.
