Introduction to Dragon Speak - Genesis 3: 1-7 and Revelation 13: 11 - and Transformational Marxism



"Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

2. And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

3. But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

4. And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

5. For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

6. And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

7. And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons." Genesis 3: 1-7





Satan, the first facilitator, lured Eve into a dialogue, and through the dialectic process fixed Eve's obedience to God, and overthrew the absolute patriarchal authority of God. The human father in the family is a reflection of God's patriarchal authority, and the father is told to love his wife and children.



"And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon." Revelation 13: 11



In Greek philosophy the dialectic meant the use of dialogue in philosophical debate, and by instruction by question and answer, as in the method of Socrates and the dialogues of Plato. The word dialectics still retains the meaning of the use of dialogue rather than the didactic teaching method.



Then Georg Hegel is supposed to have taught the Hegelian dialectic by which a thesis, and then an opposition to that thesis, an antithesis, which contradicts or negates the thesis, because of the tension between the opposites, leads to a resolution which is the synthesis.



Karl Marx started from Hegel's more abstreact dialectic but made the dialectic into a more practical method of argument.

Marx was anti-Christian and used the method of dialectical materialism to diminish and even destroy the absolutes of Christianity and any other absolute, making absolutes into kinds of "opinions."



Dialectical materialism was a method used by traditional Marxism, that is, by Communism, or Bolshevism.



Antonio Gramsci (1891-1937), along with Georg Lukacs, was the founder

of cultural Marxism. Gramsci pioneered the concept of cultural

hegemony as a means of changing a society into a collectivist Marxist

state. Gramsci was from Italy while Lukacs was from Hungary.



Gramsci taught that capitalism in the West kept its control not only

by violence and economic power, but also by culture. The bourgeoisie

had created a hegemonic or dominant culture, which kept capitalism in

power. The Marxist revolution had to first change the culture to take

over capitalist society.



Gramsci thought that Marxism must first establish its cultural

dominance in society and then when that dominance was in place the

people would willingly obey the Marxist political authority. He saw

Marxist intellectuals as directors (later called "facilitators" in the

U.S.) who created Marxist cultural dominance by means of ideological

institutions which are education, the media, and religion.



Antonio Gramsci was an incremental, or slow step by step

revolutionary rather than an advocate of quick and violent takeover of

a government. Gramsci talked about the "long march through the

institutions" to take over Western society. This slower, step by

step takeover of the culture of the West is exactly what has been

happening since the fifties and sixties.



Georg Luk�cs (1885-1971) was one of the two founders of Western

Marxism, the ideology that departed from the Marxist orthodoxy of the

old Soviet Union. His Transformational Marxism advocated a slower

takeover of Western Europe and the United States by changing the

culture. As such, Transformational Marxism is not Bolshevism - of

Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin - which sought to take over capitalist

nations by overthrowing national governments and then purging out

those who opposed the Bolshevist regime by shooting them.



On http://www.schillerinstitute.org/fid_91-96/921_frankfurt.html and

Georg Luk�cs and "Aufhebung der Kultur," Abolishment of Culture, they

say "Lukacs identified that any political movement capable of bringing

Bolshevism to the West would have to be, in his words, "demonic"; it

would have to "possess the religious power which is capable of filling

the entire soul; a power that characterized primitive Christianity."



They go on to say that "What differentiated the West from Russia,

Lukacs identified, was a

Judeo-Christian cultural matrix which emphasized exactly the

uniqueness and sacredness of the individual which Lukacs abjured. At

its core, the dominant Western ideology maintained that the

individual, through the exercise of his or her reason, could discern

the Divine Will in an unmediated relationship. What was worse, from

Lukacs' standpoint: this reasonable relationship necessarily implied

that the individual could and should change the physical universe in

pursuit of the Good; that Man should have dominion over Nature, as

stated in the Biblical injunction in Genesis. The problem was, that as

long as the individual had the belief�or even the hope of the

belief�that his or her divine spark of reason could solve the problems

facing society, then that society would never reach the state of

hopelessness and alienation which Lukacs recognized as the necessary

prerequisite for socialist revolution."





Lukacs was aware of protestant individualism and its affirmation of an

individual's

personal relationship with God, as Jesus Christ the Son. The West had

affirmed the individual and his spiritual rise above the mere flesh of

man through Christ and the Holy Spirit. But Marxism affirms the

collective, the group. and hence the phrase "It takes a village to

raise a child" of Hillary and other Marxists.





The Transformational Marxists therefore set out to diminish that

individualism and individual spirituality

inspired by Biblical Christianity. To diminish individual

spirituality and the focus on the individual in Western culture, they

knew they must change the society surrounding the Christian churches

as well as infiltrate the churches themselves with the Marxist

dialectic process and replace man as a living soul with man as mere

flesh in the churches. And cultural Marxism also set out to diminish

the strength of the American family and overthrow the father and

husband as the authority in the family. The stealth Marxist

intellectuals following the lead of the Frankfurt School also knew

they had to infiltrate and change American public school education,

not only to dumb down the population so they would not be critical of

what was happening to their society, but also to change the society

from an individual based on to a collective based Marxist society.





Benjamin Bloom, a follower of Theodor Adorno and Eric Fromm, as he

admits in a footnote, was the key change agent for American public

school education, with his educational goal taxonomies, by which every

school teacher must be certified.





From its beginning, the leaders of Transformational Marxism knew they

could be more effective if they concealed the Marxist nature of their

work, and instead led the society of the West out of the protestant

individual based cultural dominance with its morality, individual

freedom, self-reliance and relationship to Jesus Christ.





"In 1919, Lukacs was the Hungarian Minister of Culture of the

government of the short-lived Hungarian Soviet Republic ."

When Lukacs became Deputy Commissar for Culture in the Bolshevik

government in Hungary, one of Lukacs�s first acts was to introduce sex

education into Hungary�s public schools. Lukacs wanted to create a

culture in which sex outside of marriage was accepted, to help destroy

the West's Christian based sexual morality, and eventually to do away

with the Western, protestant individual based culture itself.





In 1922, inspired in part by Lukacs, a group of German Marxists

established a think tank at Frankfurt University in Germany called the

Institute for Social Research. This institute, soon known simply as

the Frankfurt School, would become the center of cultural Marxism.





The Frankfurters wanted to change the economic focus of traditional

Marxism to a cultural focus. To do this they first turned to Sigmund

Freud. Later in the United States, Theodor W. Adorno pretended to be

a personality-social psychologist and researcher using paper and

pencil questionnaires. Soon a number of 20th century change agents,

including some psychologists and psychiatrists - Abraham H. Maslow,

Carl R. Rogers, the Frankfurter Eric Fromm, Wilhelm Reich on the

fringes of the Frankfurters, Norman O. Brown, Irvin D. Yalom and

Herbert Marcuse, a Frankfurter Marxist sociologist, all began to lead

Gramsci's long march through the institutions of America.





How would Transformational Marxism began to take over our

institutions? The answer by the leaders of Transformational Marxism

was the counterculture of the sixties and seventies which was to begin

the process of takeover of the American culture. The counterculture

established the drug movement, sexual rebellion against Christian

sexual morality, plus feminism, the Black movement, as well as the

homosexual and lesbian movements. Lesbianism became politically and

sexually correct in the major universities soon after the seventies.

The major universities became change agents, with their politically

correct feminism, gay rights, lesbianism, self psychology, and

Marxist sociological ideology, all within cultural Marxism.



Pornography, as on the Internet, is allied with all this

because it too attacks Christianity and the family.





The Baby Boomer generation became the target of the Frankfurt School's

intellectuals, the first American generation to live under the new

collectivist cultural dominance created by Transformational Marxism.





American generations born before the Baby Boomers began in 1946 tended

to follow a culture of protestant based individualism, a culture that

valued individual freedom, individual moral responsibility and

self-reliance.





American Historians Frederick Jackson Turner and Walter

Prescott Webb wrote about the mentality of Americans of the western

frontier, saying they were more independent, self-reliant and

resourceful. Webb even said that people on the Great Plains were

"lawless." Many people on the Western frontier were more

unconventional than those who stayed back East. A few people in the

Great Plains of the 19th and early 20th centuries were outlaws, but what

Walter Prescott Webb meant by the Western people being "lawless" was

that they, as a culture then, were more independent and self-reliant, and

non-conformist. They were also more resourceful than the Eastern city dwellers.





The rural and small town Westerners were not as dependent on the nanny

state as Easterners of the cities, and Western people were more able to survive

off the land, fix their machines themselves, grow crops that were more healthy

to eat and many stayed out of hospitals and away from the allopathic type of

doctors who were taking over medicine from the East.





Even the Western children of the thirties were more likely to be less

dependent on society

to survive, more individualistic, and more self-reliant or resourceful

than their

children, the Baby Boomers. The Baby Boomers, as a generation, began

the departure from the American

protestant individual based culture.





Walter Prescott Webb in his 1931 book, The Great Plains, says

the West begins at the 98th meridian. In Texas it runs just east of

San Antonio and may run north so that Dallas, for example, is in the

East. Houston is an Eastern city. But San Antonio is part of the

West and of the Great Plains. However, California and the entire West

Coast is not exactly the West in its culture that Walter Prescott Webb

talks about. The states of the Great Plains represent Webb's West in

culture, which includes Wyoming and Montana and perhaps New Mexico and

Arizona.





Now, in 2012, the people of the generation of the thirties still

alive, especially those born in the period of about 1928 to 1935, in

the West, are old. Its not surprising that a new collectivist Marxist

society would want to get rid of these more individualistic people,

some with their morals and a few with a belief in absolute truth of

the Bible. Why not save money by denying health care to these older

people? However, I know that the majororty of those who belong to

the Remnant of Israel in America now tend to include more who are Baby

Boomers in their fifties, who do have more reliance on the absolute

truth and morality of Scripture
