Gramscian damage
(HT Instapundit)ERIC S. RAYMOND: Call it what you will various other commentators have favored volk-Marxism or postmodern leftism. Ive called it suicidalism. It was designed to paralyze the West against one enemy, but its now being used against us by another. It is no accident that Osama bin Laden so often sounds like hes reading from back issues of Z magazine, and no accident that both constantly echo the hoariest old cliches of Soviet propaganda in the 1930s and 40s. .... The first step to recovery is understanding the problem. Knowing that suicidalist memes were launched at us as war weapons by the espionage apparatus of the most evil despotism in human history is in itself liberating. Liberating, too, it is to realize that the Noam Chomskys and Michael Moores and Robert Fisks of the world (and their thousands of lesser imitators in faculty lounges everywhere) are not brave transgressive forward-thinkers but pathetic memebots running the program of a dead tyrant.
