Western culture is experiencing a quiet but powerful struggle over the meaning of words. Not long ago, terms like love, justice, freedom, compassion, and dignity carried Christian assumptions about truth, human nature, and moral responsibility. But today, many of these old, once-stable words have been redefined under the pressures of progressive ideology. The battle is…
A Christian Response: “Socialism is Biblical since the Early Church Shared Everything in Acts 2”
Few biblical passages are more frequently misused by modern progressives and Neo-Marxists than Acts 2:44–45: And all who believed were together and had all things in common. And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. To many on the political Left—both within the church and…
Blaming the Boomers
I remember a US History class lecture in university with an excellent professor, Dr. Clifford Scott. He made some keen personal observations about his students from the Liberation Movement era who were criticizing their parents for being materialistic, while enjoying the benefits of the funding of their education and the licentious activities they were pursuing.…
Public Spaces Protection Orders and Christian Persecution in “Progressive” (woke) Britain
In recent years, the United Kingdom has witnessed an unsettling trend: the gradual encroachment of state power into the realm of individual liberty—particularly religious liberty. At the center of this shift stands a bureaucratic but powerful instrument: the Public Spaces Protection Order, or PSPO. While framed as a means of promoting public safety and curbing…
Book Review: The Christian View of Man by J. Gresham Machen
J. Gresham Machen (1881–1937) stands as one of the most courageous and intellectually formidable defenders of orthodox Christianity in the modern era. A New Testament scholar, Presbyterian theologian, and cultural apologist, Machen’s impact stretched far beyond the ivory towers of academia. His career was marked by a deep commitment to truth, clarity in public witness,…
Echoes of the Serpent: Gnosticism and Neo-Marxism (wokeness)
One of the most persistent spiritual errors in history is not atheism, but Gnosticism. It is not a single religion but a worldview—a deep structure of belief—that reappears across centuries in different forms. From ancient heretical sects to modern self-help philosophies and identity-based ideologies, Gnosticism survives by adapting itself to its cultural host. At its…
Were the Hippies Proto-Woke? A Christian Analysis of Two Revolutions
From the flower power days of the 1960s to the flag-burning protests of today, America has witnessed multiple waves of cultural rebellion. While today’s culture warriors are driven by Neo-Marxist ideology and “woke” activism, an earlier generation sparked a different revolution—one that traded suits and sermons for tie-dye and psychedelics. But were the Hippies just…
Long March through the Institutions – Infiltration of Science and Medicine
Over the past half-century, activists steeped in Neo-Marxist theory have learned to wear lab coats. By re-defining words, leveraging crisis, and silencing critics, they have steered whole branches of science and medicine toward political ends. This post tells that story in plain English, offers real-world examples, and sketches a path back to honest inquiry. Neo-Marxism…
Long March Through the Institutions – Infiltration of the Judiciary and the Law
In the mid-20th century, radical thinkers disillusioned with traditional Marxist revolution turned their attention toward a subtler form of conquest: cultural and institutional infiltration. German student leader Rudi Dutschke gave this tactic a name—“the long march through the institutions”—drawing inspiration from Antonio Gramsci, who taught that power resides not just in politics or economics but…
Long March Through the Institutions – Infiltration of Entertainment and the Arts
The entertainment and arts world—once a place where timeless stories, beauty, and moral struggles shaped culture—has become a tool for social engineering. From the rise of anti-heroes to the aggressive promotion of sexual deviance and gender confusion, the industry has morphed into a propaganda machine for the progressive Left. This transformation wasn’t accidental; it was…
Long March Through The Institutions – Infiltration of The Media
The mainstream media, once lauded as the guardian of democracy and truth, has become a partisan institution manipulated by elites to promote ideological agendas. Its noble purpose—to inform the public and hold power accountable—has been subverted by progressive ideologues wielding tools like narrative framing, censorship, and redefinition of truth. Now, it stands as one of…
Long March Through the Institutions – Infiltration of Education
The institution of education, once devoted to the pursuit of truth and the development of virtue, has been hijacked by ideological revolutionaries. No longer merely a place to impart knowledge, the modern educational system—from K-12 to the university level—has become the chief mechanism for indoctrinating future generations with radical political worldviews. This ideological subversion, often…
Long March through the Institutions – Infiltration of The Military
The U.S. military has long stood as a symbol of national unity, meritocracy, and upward mobility. For generations, it has offered young men from impoverished backgrounds—regardless of race—a clear path to economic stability and personal growth. Enlistees benefit not only from steady pay, comprehensive healthcare, and educational opportunities through the GI Bill, but also from…
Long March Through the Institutions – Infiltration of the Government and Bureaucracy
The Neo-Marxist infiltration of American institutions has been a slow but deliberate process. Among the most powerful institutions targeted in this “long march” has been the government itself—not just elected positions, but more strategically, the bureaucracy: the unelected and largely unaccountable administrative state. This essay will explore how Neo-Marxist ideas have permeated the government and…
Long March Through the Institutions – Infiltration of Technology and Social Media
Open a browser in 2010 and you stepped onto an unpaved prairie—wild, argumentative, sometimes reckless, but breathtakingly free. Scroll today and the prairie feels fenced. Posts vanish before you can screenshot them; “context” labels hover like orange construction cones; a single heterodox medical study can exile you to algorithmic Siberia. What changed? One answer is…
Long March Through The Institutions – Infiltration of the Church and Religion
The infiltration of Neo-Marxism into the sphere of religion has been one of the most devastating and underappreciated subversions of the 20th and 21st centuries. What began as a deliberate attempt by Marxists to deconstruct and replace religious authority has now culminated in the wholesale transformation of churches, synagogues, mosques, and other religious institutions into…
Long March Through the Institutions – Infiltration of Corporations and Financial Institutions
Have you noticed how the soda you buy, the sneakers you wear, even the bank that handles your paycheck now talk more about changing the world more than about the products they sell? Ten years ago corporate press releases focused on earnings. Today they sound like college manifestos on climate justice, racial equity, and gender…
Long March Through the Institutions – Infiltration of the Family and Sexual Ethics
Let’s be honest. If you told a Christian dad in 1950 that one day schools would teach his son he could be a girl, or that the Supreme Court would redefine marriage altogether, he would’ve thought you were insane—or reading science fiction. But here we are. And it didn’t happen overnight. What we’re seeing today…
Long March Through the Institutions – Infiltration of American Society (An Overview)
In the 20th century, revolutionary Marxism underwent a significant mutation. No longer merely a theory of economic class warfare, it became an ideology aimed at reshaping Western civilization from within. The “long march through the institutions”—a phrase popularized by German radical Rudi Dutschke in the late 1960s—became the operational strategy of cultural revolutionaries who sought…
The Redefinition of Violence – Property Destruction, Speech, and the Deceitful Heart of Man
Protesters and Democrat leaders like US Representative Maxine Waters claim that destruction of property as witnessed in the recent ICE riots is not violence. In recent years, particularly during the widespread riots of 2020 and beyond, the American Left—represented chiefly by Democrat leaders, activists, and their media allies—has promoted the troubling idea that property destruction…
Critical Theory/Intersectionality – the Ideological Web Behind “Progressivism” and The Democrat Party
In public debates today, words matter—and they matter a great deal. Political movements rise or fall not just based on their substance, but on how they are labeled. The term Progressive, widely used to describe left-wing political and cultural ideologies, carries with it a flattering connotation: that the movement is moving society forward, improving justice,…
The Woke and Their Ideological Father, Karl Marx
The moral authority of the “woke” is a counterfeit virtue rooted not in transcendent truth, but in an anti-Christian worldview. Today’s progressive ideology did not spring from nowhere. It is a mutation of Marxist thought—an ideology birthed in rebellion, nourished by envy, and weaponized through deception. Parents, especially Christian ones, must understand that the woke…
“Lived Experience” as a Basis for Truth
Welcome to the kooky world of the woke mind. Are you ready to explore the depths of their delusions? This is a discussion on the phrase “lived experience”. Fasten your safety belt. When many on the political left invoke the term “lived experience,” they refer to the personal, subjective experiences of individuals—especially those from groups…
The 1619 Project – A Conservative Critique
In 2019, The New York Times Magazine launched the 1619 Project under the direction of journalist Nikole Hannah-Jones. It boldly claimed that the United States was not truly founded in 1776, but in 1619—the year African slaves were first brought to the British colonies. Reframing American history through the lens of slavery and systemic racism,…
Greg Bahnsen Encounters a Cultural Marxist
In the landscape of Christian apologetics, few names stand as firmly as Dr. Greg L. Bahnsen. A brilliant theologian and philosopher, Bahnsen was best known for championing and systematizing Cornelius Van Til’s presuppositional apologetics—a bold, intellectually rigorous defense of the faith that confronts unbelief at its root. Rather than merely presenting evidences for Christianity in…
The Deceptive Leftist Language of “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion”
Few phrases have become as ubiquitous—and as ideologically charged—as “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion,” commonly abbreviated as DEI. At first glance, these words seem virtuous, almost unimpeachable. Who would argue against diversity? Who is opposed to equity or inclusion? Yet behind these seemingly harmless terms lies a worldview that is profoundly at odds with traditional American…
Francis Schaeffer’s Apologetic Method – Unmasking False Worldviews and Presenting True Truth
The 20th century witnessed the erosion of Christian consensus in the West. The rise of relativism, existentialism, postmodernism, and Neo-Marxist ideologies exposed many to spiritual confusion and moral despair. In this cultural upheaval, Francis Schaeffer emerged not merely as a theologian or philosopher, but as a spiritual physician—one who diagnosed the soul-sickness of modern man…
Francis Schaeffer Encounters a Neo-Marxist
In every generation, Christians face the challenge of communicating the truth of the Gospel in a world awash with competing worldviews. Some are subtle, others are aggressive. In our time, Neo-Marxism—a descendant of classical Marxism, updated with concerns about race, gender, and systemic power—has emerged as a dominant cultural force. It shapes politics, academia, entertainment,…
Understanding Wokeness: Its Arenas of Operations, Principles and Internal Contradictions
“Wokeness” is more than a passing trend—it is a comprehensive worldview that now shapes academia, entertainment, politics, religion, education, business, technology, healthcare, and military and defense, progressing by the strategy of the “long march through the institutions”. While it presents itself as morally superior and socially just, it harbors deep contradictions that deserve a closer…
What Does “Woke” Really Mean?
In today’s political and cultural debates, few words spark more emotion—or confusion—than “woke.” It’s often used as an insult or rallying cry, but it’s rarely defined with any precision. Is it just about being sensitive to racism? Is it a catch-all term for political correctness? Or is it something deeper? This post seeks to define…
How the Neo-Marxists (Woke, Progressives) Persecute Christians in Modern America
The United States is undergoing a moral upheaval. A radical revolution rooted in Neo-Marxist ideology is targeting the Christian worldview, and it’s doing so with the force of law, the weight of federal bureaucracy, and the power of cultural institutions. Nowhere is this more evident than in how the left is attacking the Christian faith,…
How the NeoMarxist Woke Revolution Mirrors Mao Zedong’s Strategies – the Four Olds
Removing monuments and holidays like Columbus Day is part of the Neo-Marxist agenda related to cultural memory and identity. Woke leftists learned their techniques from Mao’s revolution – the vilification of the “Four Olds”. The Four Olds and their meanings Old Customs – Social traditions passed down for centuries — marriage rites, funeral ceremonies, dress…
Public Education and the Rise of Ideological Indoctrination
Some of my friends and acquaintances in the public education system believe that my assessments of their colleagues are too pessimistic. Others quietly affirm what I’ve observed. This letter is for those who think I’ve been too critical. Let me begin with my own memories of school. I went through K–12 primarily in the 1970s…
Would Jesus Identify with Cultural Marxism (Wokeness)?
Would Jesus identify with Cultural Marxism (wokeness)? Cultural Marxists claim biblical Christians lack love and tolerance. They often profess to be more Christlike than their Christian critics. Some Cultural Marxists are members of mainline Christian denominations who have departed from the Christian worldview. These are amongst the first to accuse biblical Christians for a lack…
What is Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI)?
Cultural Marxists have a deceptive vocabulary, Wokespeak, concealing the Neo-Marxist nature of wokeness. Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) is Wokespeak for woke indoctrination programs. DEI programs are being implemented in schools, corporations and governmental organizations as the woke continue their long march of conquest through the institutions. A breakdown of this phrase is useful for…
What is Wokeness (Cultural Marxism)?
A friend asked me to define woke/wokeness. Cultural Marxism, Neo-Marxism, Progressivism, social justice, anti-racism, and critical theory/intersectionality are related terms. Woke implies the person has undergone a conversion experience enlightening him to power dynamics, systemic racism and social injustices of Western civilization. The new convert experiences critical consciousness. He laments his whiteness and forsakes his…
Wokeness is a State Sanctioned Cult Facilitated by Public Schools
A former educator and teacher union president has directed several accusations towards my position on wokeness and education. Given his background and rudeness, I have no expectation of honesty from him and won’t address him. It is not surprising Democrats and current/former educators associated with teacher unions have issues with my letters. A hit dog…
The Emperor Has No Clothes…..Neither Does Wokeness and Gender Ideology
The emperor has no clothes, folks. Neo-Marxist educators, administrators, school board members, teacher unions, departments of education, and activist groups including BLM/Antifa are attempting to indoctrinate K-12 students into woke ideology. The Biden administration and Democrat party share their Neo-Marxist goals. Indoctrination into this ideology ensures their party dominance. Woke indoctrination includes critical race theory,…
Resisting the Leftward Drift – a Call to Bible-believing Christians
Bible-believing Christians in America must come to terms with a difficult truth: our culture is no longer neutral or indifferent to biblical truth. We live in a nation that is not merely losing its Christian consensus—it is actively replacing it with a secular, neo-Marxist worldview that denies the authority of God, distorts human identity, and…
