The Italian Marxist, Antonio Gramsci, was the first to described a "Quiet Revolution."
The quiet revolution is one that could be diffused throughout a culture, over a period of time, to destroy it from within. Since the civilized world had been thoroughly saturated with Christianity for 2,000 years, a culture based on this religion could only be captured from within. Applying psychology to break these traditions, beliefs, morals, and will of a people, could be accomplished quietly and without the possibility of resistance.
Gramsci insisted that alliances with other leftist groups [i.e., "self" 'justifying,' dialectic 'reasoning,' "lovers of pleasure and haters of restraint (and restrainers)" "groups"] would be essential to victory. These would include radical feminist groups, extremist environmental organizations, so-called civil rights movements, homosexual activists, anti-police associations, internationalist-minded groups, liberal church denominations, and others. Working together, these groups could create a united front working for the destructive transformation of the Judeo-Christian culture of the West.
By winning "cultural hegemony" [i.e., "group approval" or "affirmation"] Gramsci pointed out that they could control the deepest wellsprings of human thought through the medium of mass psychology. Indeed, men could be made to "love their servitude." In terms of the gospel of the Frankfurt School, resistance to cultural Marxism could be completely negated by placing the resister in a psychic iron cage. The tools of mass psychology could be applied to produce this result.
The essential nature of Gramsci's revolutionary strategy is reflected in a 1990's book, "The Greening of America." In this book, Charles Reich writes, "There is a revolution coming. It will not be like revolutions of the past. It will originate with the individual and the culture, and it will change the political structure as its final act. It will not require violence to succeed, and it cannot be successfully resisted by violence. This is the revolution of the New Generation." Of course this New Generation would be Reich's elite Boomer generation and the mantra for these New Age "foot soldiers" of the Frankfurt School prophets, would be "have the courage to change." [as well a,s "If it feels good, do it"]
Herbert Marcuse, who was greatly influenced by the writings of Gramsci, was one of the most prominent Frankfurt School promoters of social revolution among college and university students in the 1960s. It was Marcuse that originated the "make love, not war" slogan.
In 1919, Marxist theorist György Lukács said, "Who will save us from Western Civilization?" Just a few years ago, on college campuses, students chanted "Hey hey, ho ho, Western Civ has got to go." Where do you think they got that?
Most Americans do not yet realize that they are being led by social revolutionaries who think in terms of the destruction of the existing social order in order to create a new social order in the world. These revolutionaries are the New Age elite Boomers, the New Totalitarians. They now control every public institution in the United States of America. Their quiet revolution, which began with the counter-culture revolution of their youth, is nearly complete. It is based on the intellectual foundation of the cultural Marxists of the Frankfurt School. Its completion depends on keeping the American male and non-feminist female in their psychic iron cage.
