Great article! It makes it very clear that Marxcissists are fundamentally opposed to... Marxism! I wonder if we can get any converts? Perhaps not. It seems more and more like for the vast majority ideology is just a way to rationalize vying for power. Easier to get power by bending the knee to the empire than by uniting the workers of the world, that is for sure.

What you said about how "ideology is just a way to rationalize vying for power" is exactly right. Like our mutual friend Harrison Koehli writes about on his Ponerology substack, pathocracy has no guiding principles except for seizing and wielding the power to inflict senseless suffering on its subjects.

"When Soviet agents infiltrated American society and attempted to spread the mind virus of communism, they achieved their greatest success in institutions dominated by the bourgeoise" Yes. Russians setup pedophile networks in the US in the 1950's to entrap politicians and business leaders... Still going strong. Good article. You might check out JR Nyquist. He is an excellent geo-political analyst. The dissolution of the Soviet empire was a ruse and the Soviet/Sino split was a trick as well. You can see all this playing out in real time today. Also there are also leaked Chinese documents about using bio weapons to take over the US. They want the infrastructure and the land just not the people. They (Russian/China together) are playing the long game and have currently captured most levers of power in the US using a scissors strategy. Add this to what you said in this article and you will be looking at the whole picture.

Great honest snark!!

I look forward to day when the great wall of stupidity that has been built around the enclaves of woketopia can be breached, and scattered to the winds.

I think some are seeing the fallacies of their religion, but too many are still blind....

The question is will those of is old enough to have lived through the forced transition and mental mutilation of our once beloved country, live long enough to see it rescued from its captors and its own debilitating Stockholm syndrome?

In answer to your question about whether we'll live long enough to see the liberation of America from Marxcissism, I pray to God we do. At this point, things are looking grim, but if we see things as hopelessly lost, we'll be too depressed to do anything about it. I think some of the federal institutions are irretrievably corrupted and have to be torn down and salt dumped on the rubble, but the values that America once represented do remain as a beacon of hope, regardless of what happens in DC or NYC.

I concur. And maybe it's how disconnected we have all become that makes me question the resolve of citizens to stand together and push for the necessary fixes. Or to put it another way, my hope is that there is a majority, thinking in similar fashion in the own solitary confinements, a variation of the prisoner's dilemma, who when they realize we are greater than the Marxiccists, will stand together and move towards our society's restoration from this evil.

The challenge in my circles has been getting people to realize they can speak their mind, they can have a non-propagandized perspective, they can "fight city hall" and we are not all the same, but we all are better than our elitist infantile bullies.

Great stuff. I see you put the beginning of Marxcissism 2.0 back in the "Reagan Democrat" era, when the blue collar folk started drifting rightward. I do think the Democrats under Bill Clinton maintained at least the rhetoric of old-school liberalism, but by the end of the Obama Administration, the mask of giving a shit about workers had been completely cast aside.

My own idea of this abandonment of the working class was that it began in the French Revolution, when the radical Left (the "Mountain") threw the center-Left (Girondists) under the bus.

Actually, literally, under the guillotine.

Refusal to understand the realities of the process of cultural change. Instead, thuggery.

Quote tweeted from your Marxissicist piece:

«…This reality set the stage for Marxcissism, a reinvention of communism for rich people: a political struggle based, not on economic class, but on having politically correct opinions on issues pertaining to race, sexuality, and gender. …»
