Smoldering

The Marxist movement seemed ossified, discredited and tired by 1985; it was not at all obvious that the domino effect was even in consideration, but we conservatives and classical liberals had to be complacent and assume we had won--after all capitalism, constitutional republicanism, our powerful military, and the American Way made us the World Power. We were the careless smartalecks that figured we had won. We did not realize that college professors and pouting, defeated, demoralized leftists would find a way to rally. But through postmodernism, by preaching that the oppressed were intersectionally deprived rather underpaid, exploited workers whose needs were unmet, by abandoning the needs of the oppressed in favor of Envirostatism and the politics of equity, inclusion and diversity, they slowly gained ground. First, these neo-Marxists took over colleges, Hollywood, our big cities and our seminaries. Then mass media, corporations, the schools and the government became woke by the late 21st century teen years, and then the Progressives were ready to capture the whole society, slowly taking advantage of our trust, our sense of decency and fair play, our tolerance of the disloyal opposition and their revolutionary free speech. Now the enemy is at the gates of the city, and what smoldered is now a raging flame, and we are fighting for our lives to save our culture and country from these rabid, radical postmodernists.
