Stark difference between Marx and Gramsci
News item:
For decades, American commentators have been pushing the false thesis that Marx destroys family structure while Gramsci (aka "The Free Market" aka "Individual Liberty") is good for families and culture.
Nope. Dead wrong by explicit definition and intent.
Soviet communism briefly tried to ruin family structure in 1920, but gave up. Since then the Soviets have concentrated on controlling the economy and suppressing political dissent. In Poland they let the Catholic church retain its power. Polish classrooms always had a cross hanging in front, while American teachers are fired for hinting at the existence of Christianity.
Gramscian communism intends above all to destroy culture, science, religion and family, to remove income and useful work from ordinary people, to channel all money AND all power to the top dogs. Scorched earth. ¶ 3:34 AM
A woman who was forced to leap out of her burning home after it was set alight during the London riots has described English society as "sick".
Polish national Monika Konczyk, 32, said she came to the UK five months ago seeking a better life - but nearly lost it during the disorder that devastated London.
"I thought London was a civilised society full of gentlemen and ladies - but it is not like that. England has become a sick society."
The Poundland shop assistant added: "I found myself jumping for my life after being attacked by thugs and thieves. They set fire to my building without any thought for anyone's safety.
"They were happy for me to die. They were like animals - greedy, selfish animals who thought only of themselves."
"I have never seen anything like this in Poland. Polish people are hard-working and respectable. They believe in working for a living, not stealing from others.
"If you want nice clothes or a new TV, you don't smash shop windows and loot them - you work and pay for them."
