R2: The post argues that "Global Elites", an amorphous shadow syndicate (cf. The X-Files) have manipulated Marxists into fighting for them.
First of all, a plan for "one world government" dominated from above by a narrow network of elites is the exact opposite of the Marxist vision of the abolition of the state. The author is fundamentally misinterpreting socialist Internationalism, and the idea of a world-wide revolution, to be the same as "centrally planned economic, social, and political order".
The second paragraph mentions that the global elite network has financed and supported Marxism in order to overthrow the national governments and religions that have presented obstacles to their one world government. Interestingly enough, Marxists argue the exact opposite of everything in this paragraph - that the state and religion are the tools of the capitalist class, which it uses to oppress the proletariat, and that the capitalist class finances and cooperates with reactionaries in order to preserve these apparatuses in the event of danger.
Thus, in globalists' home countries, the Marxist victim-oppressor dialectic was reoriented from the axis of economic class to axes of biological identity (i.e. race, gender, and sexual orientation), securing much-needed cover for financial elites and their supra-national "non-governing" bodies by diverting leftist academic scrutiny from overt economic inequalities to natural ones.
This is sort of a bizarre mirror image of the truth. First of all, an analysis of society that is not based around class and/or the material relations of groups of people to the means of production is not Marxist; one can have Marxist analyses of race and sex but modern ideas like "identity politics" and highly individualist "privilege theory" are anathema to Marxism and more in line with modern social liberalism. The author makes the interesting comment in passing that race, gender and sexual orientation are "natural inequalities." A Marxist might actually agree that the capitalist class chose to promote non-class based ideas about inequality in order to provide an outlet for progressive energy that does not threaten their power.
The rest of the piece is frankly insane. The lack of precision makes it difficult to pin down the intended goal of the globalist elites, but they want to create "slavery... brand[ed] as a form of liberation" through a "revolution in education that would dispense with individual virtues, traditional values, and objective truth" to destroy "any ethno-nationalist movements which provide the only serious challenge to globalist rule." (The frequent references to ethno-centrism, nationalism, and traditional values hint that this author may long for a highly hierarchical society to protect and defend these values, but that is of course just baseless speculation.
The crux is that
our schools and universities have been socially re-engineered by a professional cabal of progressive educators, utopian crusaders, marxist agitators, leftist academics, communist zealots, and other so-called "school reformers" and "change agents"
I am quite confident most Marxists would be astounded to learn that the left has achieved such an impressive goal in America, or that the American left even exists in a meaningful way.
This was a really useful insight into the alt-right understanding of the American political system, presented in a way that is admittedly much much clearer and more lucid than Alex Jones.
