Father of the "new left", today's post modernist 'Progressives'

A word about and from Marcuse.

Intro: "His Marxist scholarship inspired many radical intellectuals and political 

activists in the 1960s and '70s, both in the U.S. and internationally" 

From Marcuse:

"For Marxian theory, the location (or rather contraction) of the opposition in 

certain middle-class strata and in the ghetto population appears as an 

intolerable deviation -- as does the emphasis on biological and aesthetic 

needs: regression to bourgeois or, even worse, aristocratic, ideologies." 

"the industrial working class...  will depend on catalysts outside its ranks." 

"The development of a radical political consciousness among the masses is 

conceivable only if and when the economic stability and the social cohesion 

of the system begin to weaken. It was the traditional role of the Marxist 

Leninist party to prepare the ground for this development."

"The ghetto population of the United States constitutes such a force."

"Consequently, if the alternative // to our largely successful system in 

America // is rule by an elite, it would only mean replacement of the 

present ruling elite by another; and if this other should be the dreaded 

intellectual elite..."

"What kind of life? We are still confronted with the demand to state the 

"concrete alternative." The demand is meaningless if it asks for a blueprint 

of the specific institutions and relationships which would be those of the 

new society: they cannot be determined a priori; they will develop, in trial 

and error, as the new society develops."

All of which leads us to an invaluable insight into the New left - these are Obama's

political teachers ... as Marcuse indicated "there was no answers' on how to run a country ...

BUT they knew they had to imprison and kill.  "kill 25 million people", (1)

Post modernism was created by Marcuse and his peers explicitly as a poison to the United States.  Our country is - or was - a unique republic. A republic with a constitution that was, as noted by John Adams  "made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”. For Christian denomination in the United States to entertain that there are 'good' things within post modernist philosophies is suicide.
