The Marxist Insurrection in America

This book traces the events of the Spring and Summer of 2020 not as an isolated incident. It argues that, ideologically and as a practical mission, it constitutes a break in strategy, but not in goal. As far back as the 1920s, communism, through differing strategic lenses on praxis, was working to deconstruct the American system. The presidency of Barack Obama and his revamping of the Democratic Party, the partnering with the industrial media, the Big Tech oligarchy, and the politicization of the nation's top law enforcement agencies, all were actively engaged in attempting to institutionalize "woke" ideology and identity politics. The 2020 socialist uprising was an escalation in that endeavor.

Since the forming of the Soviet Union and its leadership role as the world's premier exporter of communist subversion, the Marxist rationale for "class struggle" as applied in the U. S., concentrated on race relations as one of its principal strategies. The American black community was prioritized and targeted by Moscow. As communism established an active movement on U.S. soil, its antithetical belief system was, for the most, an influential and dangerous sect, but marginal as far as societal acceptance.

The work of Marxists that highlighted culture over economics as the prime social and political constructor, began to have more relevance in the U.S. towards the end of the 1950s. The counterculture of the 1960s was laden with the work of German, Italian, and French communists which included Herbert Marcuse, Max Horkheimer, Theodor Adorno, Antonio Gramsci, and Michel Foucault. This gave birth to an American intellectual class that blended identity specificities of race, sex, and gender and development homegrown cultural Marxist tenets by the 1970s.

The presidency of Barack Obama did a lot to comprehensively infuse into American culture these canons that were epistemologically underpinned with Critical Theory postulations from the Frankfurt School, a Marxist think tank, and fused itself within a postmodern framework. It was being accomplished swiftly but without fanfare and hidden in the verbiage of "change". The emulation of the Fabian socialist methodology was real. The death of George Floyd, a black American ex-convict who died while resisting arrest in the custody of a white police officer in 2020, took the socialist "revolution" to a wholly more visible and violent level.

What followed Floyd's unfortunate death was widespread violence and lawlessness that manifested itself in riots, looting, arson, and the killing and injuring of innocent civilians and public safety officers. The intent of these connected acts of coordinated rebellion, as publicly expressed by Black Lives Matter and Antifa, both Marxist movements and the revolt's main organizers, was a call for systemic change. This arguably fits the description of an insurrection. The purpose of this book is to trace direct and related events of the tumultuous Spring and Summer of 2020 and its continual impact.
