Antonio Gramsci

Antonio Gramsci [ 1891 - 1937 ] was an Italian anarchist, chief theoretician of the Communist Party and a subversive. He worked out that the "inevitable" revolution of the proletariat predicted by orthodox Marxism had not occurred by the early 20th century. His answer was to subvert the Christian culture which promotes normal values. This means infiltrating society from the top down. Marx advocated doing it from the bottom up.  'Workers of the world unite. You have nothing to lose but your chains' - It sounded good but didn't quite work. Taking over the education industry especially the universities is a major part of the attack. 

The crucial aspect is owning or at least controlling the main stream media. Look at who has Media Power and Media Control. The destruction of civilization  can then be achieved by inciting homosexuality, feminism, illegal immigration, pandering to foreign undesirables, encouraging people to take on huge debts through mortgages so that they can be broken by rising interest rates etc. Look at the BBC's output and you will understand their agenda. Commercial television is also designed to pervert.

The Long March Through The Institutions
QUOTE
Gramsci saw an important role in the transformation of society for those he called "organic" intellectuals (as opposed to "traditional" intellectuals). "Organic" intellectuals were to be intellectuals belonging to the repressed groups and making an effort to undermine the "hegemony" with the assistance of any "traditional" intellectuals they could persuade to defect from the dominant point of view. They will flourish as the roots of counter-hegemony grow. In other words, Gramsci was recommending recruiting radicalized women, members of minority groups, and others into the fold – affirmative action before that term was coined. Changing the minds of "traditional" intellectuals was particularly valuable, as they were already well positioned within the dominant educational institutions. The "long march through the institutions" – a phrase we also owe to Gramsci – began.

Doctor Yates knows the problem. Understanding the enemy is a major step in the right direction.

Innocents Clubs
Are clubs for the well meaning, who are eager to believe the best of anyone who can be depicted as a victim of British Imperialism or something else they don't like. The Church of England is a de facto enemy, full of good will to all men unless, perhaps they are English. The innocents are very keen on promoting the idea of racism, the idea that we oppress foreigners. But there is no level playing field in this concept. Blacks are allowed to hate us. Blacks must be pandered to. Innocents Clubs is the term coined by Willi Münzenberg who was talent spotted by Lenin in Switzerland.

Useful Idiots
Innocents clubs' are full of them with a leavening of the vicious to steer things their way. The Wikipedia article on Gramsci puts a  much more low key view but then it is a propaganda operation and part of the problem just like the rest of the main stream media.

Antonio didn't have things all his own way. He was arrested by the Fascists despite his parliamentary immunity and put in Regina Coeli [ Queen of Heaven ], the famous Roman prison. He received an immediate sentence of 5 years in confinement (on the remote island of Ustica; the following year he received a sentence of 20 years of prison (in Turi, near Bari). This ruined his health so Benito got a laugh out of him but came unstuck later.

Gramsci's Legacy
Ideas are more dangerous than weapons because they control men's minds and actions. Here are some spread by the education industry and the media.
There is no truth, only competing agendas.
All Western (and especially American) claims to moral superiority over Communism/Fascism/Islam are vitiated by the West’s history of racism and colonialism:-
1. There are no objective standards by which we may judge one culture to be better than another. Anyone who claims that there are such standards is an evil oppressor.
2. The prosperity of the West is built on ruthless exploitation of the Third World; therefore Westerners actually deserve to be impoverished and miserable.
3. Crime is the fault of society, not the individual criminal. Poor criminals are entitled to what they take. Submitting to criminal predation is more virtuous than resisting it.
4. The poor are victims. Criminals are victims. And only victims are virtuous. Therefore only the poor and criminals are virtuous. (Rich people can borrow some virtue by identifying with poor people and criminals.)
5. For a virtuous person, violence and war are never justified. It is always better to be a victim than to fight, or even to defend oneself. But ‘oppressed’ people are allowed to use violence anyway; they are merely reflecting the evil of their oppressors.
6. When confronted with terror, the only moral course for a Westerner is to apologize for past sins, understand the terrorist’s point of view, and make concessions.
These ideas have been released into the wild but have a virtue. When they are stated clearly and looked in the eye they are quite clearly false or misguided but they do have an attraction for a certain type of mind.

Gramsci's Grand Plan
Father Thornton explain how Gramsci decided to destroy civilization. The Church was good on analysis. Their follow through has not been effective.
QUOTE
Gramsci believed that if Communism achieved "mastery of human consciousness," then labor camps and mass murder would be unnecessary. How does an ideology gain such mastery over patterns of thought inculcated by cultures for hundreds of years? Mastery over the consciousness of the great mass of people would be attained, Gramsci contended, if Communists or their sympathizers gained control of the organs of culture--churches, education, newspapers, magazines, the electronic media, serious literature, music, the visual arts, and so on. By winning "cultural hegemony" to use Gramsci's own term, Communism would control the deepest wellsprings of human thought and imagination. One need not even control all of the information itself if one can gain control over the minds that assimilate that information. Under such conditions, serious opposition disappears since men are no longer capable of grasping the arguments of Marxism's opponents. Men will indeed "love their servitude," and will not even realize that it is servitude.

That seems clear enough as a description of what is being done to us. The BBC, the object of my particular loathing is in the forefront of telling us that Englishmen are inferior to blacks and that we owe it to them to let them get away with murder, rape, et cetera.
