I don't know about the neo-Marxist left being controlled opposition, though the Pentagon's bizarre adoption of woke slogans/concepts is troubling.

I seek wokeness as the rotten fruit of the 50+ years of university traffic in critical studies falling onto our heads. The method of subverting the culture went from seminar rooms to corporate HR departments and the public schools. The universities are still releasing neo-Marxist ideologues into the wild, whether the carriers are aware of the pedigree of their "wokeness" or not.

But it certainly provides a medium for central control and the fact that the USG is angling to throttle free speech in the name of policing "misinformation" lends weight to your thesis, as does the interests of oligarch$ in using neo-Marxist social justice as a Trojan Horse for their plans (whatever they are. I will read the Greenwald article later and get back to you maybe.)

That figures. Has the CIA ever done anything to advance the American experiment? Their record (at least the record revealed to us via the FOIA) is one of domestic terror, from MK-ULTRA to Air America to cocaine trafficking to managing controlled opposition. This nest of evil shits ought to be burned down and the ashes sown with salt.

A very pertinent reference. I will read it again. It might allow me to step back and re-assess the situation. It makes a decent argument for so-called "anarchy."

Random relevant quotation: "A wise man will not leave the right to the mercy of chance, nor wish it to prevail through the power of the majority. There is but little virtue in the action of masses of men."
