“Socialism is precisely the religion that must overwhelm Christianity.
… In the new order, Socialism will triumph by first capturing the culture via infiltration of schools, universities, churches and the media by transforming the consciousness of society”…
— Antonio Gramsci
“The civilised world has been thoroughly saturated with Christianity for 2000 years. Any country grounded in Judeo-Christian values cannot be overthrown untill those roots are cut. But to cut the roots—to change culture — a long march through the institutions is necessary”…
— Antonio Gramsci
“The French Revolution gave rise to ideas which led beyond the ideas of the entire old world order. The revolutionary movement which began in 1789… gave rise to the communist idea which Babeuf’s friend Buonarroti re-introduced in France after the Revolution of 1830. This idea, consistently developed, is the idea of the new world order”…
– Karl Marx
… “The French writers who laid the foundations of modern socialism had no doubt that their ideas could be put into practice only by a strong dictatorial government. To them socialism meant an attempt to "terminate the revolution" by a deliberate reorganisation of society on hierarchical lines, and the imposition of a coercive "spiritual power". Where freedom was concerned, the founders of socialism made no bones about their intentions. Freedom of thought they regarded as the root-evil of nineteenth-century society, and the first of modern planners, Saint-Simon, even predicted that those who did not obey his proposed planning boards would be "treated as cattle"…
… Nobody saw more clearly than de Tocqueville that democracy as an essentially individualist institution stood in an irreconcilable conflict with socialism:
“Democracy extends the sphere of individual freedom [he said in 1848], socialism restricts it. Democracy attaches all possible value to each man; socialism makes each man a mere agent, a mere number. Democracy and socialism have nothing in common but one word: equality. But notice the difference: while democracy seeks equality in liberty, socialism seeks equality in restraint and servitude” ”…
— Friedrich Hayek

“How were such a small number of intellectuals able to wrest control of the British government? It was done through a system of gradualism that involved attracting and utilizing university professors, playwrights, writers, social dignitaries, and politicians who shared these visions. Special efforts were made to recruit the young, who are always visionary. Their most powerful weapon was in controlling the “truth” and the dissimulation of controlled information, that is, managed truth”…

Quote:
“Let me zoom out a bit and provide some broader historical context. The Left has been trying to shove Marxism, Socialism and Communism down the throats of the American people for generations now.
They ultimately weren’t able to do this during the Cold War because the middle-class revolted against Communism and Marxism and Social Engineeering.
The Left shifted their tactics, the Democratic Party shifted their tactics to use migration as a weapon to break down the middle class and to gain political power and control in this country.
They used migration as to destroy our public education system, to destroy our health-care system, to destroy wages and working conditions for the middle class of this country and in effect to destroy social and community cohesion.
And in that rubble, in that chaos, in that conflict, to then try to articulate the need for ever more Government control, ever more Government redistribution, ever more Government power and then to ultimately import voters to then support that agenda.
Import voters that do not believe in limited Government and who do not believe in the US Constitution”…

“Socialism; this is a penetrating historical analysis demonstrating that socialism of any type and shade leads to a total destruction of the human spirit and to a leveling of mankind into death”…

“Europe for five centuries & more has been deceiving itself, trying to establish a reign of humanism, liberalism, and supposedly Christian values on the basis of an increasingly sceptical attitude towards Christian truth. Absurdism is the end of that road; it is the logical conclusion of the humanist attempt to soften and compromise Christian truth so as to accommodate new, modern, that is to say, worldly, values. Absurdism is the last proof that Christian truth is absolute and uncompromising, or else it is the same as no truth at all; and if there is no truth, if Christian truth is not to be understood literally and absolutely, if God is dead, if there is no immortality — then this world is all there is, and this world is absurd, this world is Hell”…
