Marxism in Action: The Little Blue Book



New post on therightplanet.com

Marxism in Action: The Little Blue Book

by Sard

Tearing a page straight out of Chairman Mao's bloody revolution in China, a U.C. Berkeley professor George Lakoff, a Democratic strategist, and graduate student Elizabeth Wehling, have published a manual for progressives entitled "The Little Blue Book." The book is receiving race reviews from the likes of George Soros and Van Jones.

Often, when pointing out the Marxist origins of progressivism in American politics, some will balk at the fact that the Progressive Movement is synonymous with communism. But, once again, the evidence and facts provide ample proof tthe modern-day progressive is indeed steeped in Marxist-Leninist ideology.

The timing of the release of the Little Blue Book has some historical parallels with Mao's infamous Little Red Book. For example, following the disaster of the Great Leap Forward, Mao went into seclusion and became more and more reclusive. Although Mao was out of the spotlight, he continued to plot on ways to further his Communist revolution. Mao thought the Communist ideology had not been spread sufficiently. Tens of millions of copies of Mao's Little Red Book–a collection of quotes and sayings from Mao– were published and handed out to the masses. The Little Red Book became a necessary accoutrement for the Chinese masses. The Communist propaganda machine portrayed Mao as a god.

From BBC:

"From May 1966, student members of the Communist Party were encouraged to carry copies of Mao's Little Red Book of quotations. Acting under Mao's leadership, these 'Red Guards' used his quotations in their mission to weed out intellectuals. With themes such as Correcting Mistaken Ideas and All Reactionaries are Paper Tigers, the quotations became the standard by which all revolutionary efforts were judged."

The Blaze cites Blogger Zombie (no link provided) for providing the following explanation of the "The Little Blue Book" (emphasis added):

Before you even open the book, its sly self-referential gamesmanship leaps off the cover: the very title itself is a wink-wink-nudge-nudge ironic-but-not-really reference to Chairman Mao's Little Red Book, the kind of hidden-meaning secret message that progressives like to call a "dog whistle," although they insist that only conservatives resort to such underhanded gambits.

Chairman Mao and his bloody revolution in China resulted in the greatest genocide in human history--over 40 million killed as a result of Mao's demonic reign. Why anybody would use it as a model and inspiration for "social change" is beyond me. But, then again, some folks are just plain evil.

Heyes, Natural News 7/12/2012 The expanding Leviathan state appears to be on auto-drive these days; the latest example of Big Brother's overreach coming from the always-intrusive Environmental Protection Agency.

Backdoor ‘gun control’ in the guise of a UN Treaty

Backdoor 'gun control' in the guise of a UN Treaty

by Harold

Brasscheck TV 7/11/2012 It's hard to get straight answers about the UN's Small Arms Trade Treaty. With our own gov't being one of the biggest weapons dealers in the world, do you really think this treaty would be signed if the military-industrial complex were at stake? No. Clearly, there's another agenda at work here ...

On July 6, 2012, President Obama signed an Executive Order authorizing the federal government to take control of America's entire communications industry. In 2006, under President George W. Bush, the US military began planning armed confrontation against the American citizenry. (I have the document in my possession.) And, of course, we must not overlook the Patriot Act which has been authorized and reauthorized under both Republicans and Democrats; the Military Commission Act which was signed by G.W. Bush; NDAA 2012 and 2013 which was signed by President Barack Obama, and which was passed by both Republicans and Democrats. And let's not forget the federal attack against the Branch Davidians under Democrats Bill Clinton and Janet Reno, and the assault against the Randy Weaver household under Republican President George Herbert Walker Bush.
"So, again, pick your poison. Both the socialist-leaning Democrats and the corporatist-leaning Republicans in Washington, D.C., meet together in pointing the bayonet against the American citizenry. And you really wonder why nothing significant changes in this country?"

Fwd: Atlas University: review us!




Atlas University: Review Us!


Won't you help us out?
 

The Atlas Society is launching a new video education series, the Atlas University. And we need your input as we get the first units ready for public launch. This is your chance to get an inside, first look at one of our biggest initiatives for 2012.
 

Atlas University is a video course series offering accessible, engaging, and enriching courses on Objectivism, the philosophy founded by Ayn Rand.  Our primary target audiences for this particular course are students interested in an "Objectivism 101" course and adults interested in an introductory continuing education curriculum focused on Objectivism.  If you are familiar with The Teaching Company's Great Courses (http://www.thegreatcourses.com/) imagine this as an addition to their catalog. 
 

The first Atlas University series is going to be a 10-part course called "Reason," a survey of Objectivist epistemology. The instructors are TAS founder and chief intellectual officer David Kelley, PhD, and TAS director of programs William R Thomas, MA.
 

The planned ten parts of the "Reason" course are:
 

1. What is reason? I (Speaker: David Kelley)
 

2. What is reason? II The Conceptual Faculty (Speaker: William R Thomas)
 

3. Volitional nature of reason (Speaker: William R Thomas)
 

4. Objectivity I: Objective reality (Speaker: David Kelley)
 

5. Objectivity II: Objective Knowledge? (Speaker: David Kelley)
 

6. Reason and Emotion (Speaker: William R Thomas)
 

7. Certainty (Speaker: David Kelley)
 

8. Religion, God, and the supernatural (Speaker: David Kelley)
 

9. Reason vs. mysticism and subjectivism (Speaker: William R Thomas)
 

10. Conclusion: Living by Reason (Speaker: William R Thomas)
 

The first two 30-minute videos in this course are now ready for viewing.
 

In lecture 1, "What is Reason," David Kelley introduces the course by considering what reason is and what role it plays in human life and civilization. Kelley surveys the history of modern philosophical thought to offer the viewer a grasp of how reason is viewed in the culture today and what challenges a defender of reason faces.


 

Lecture 2,"The Conceptual Faculty," with William R Thomas takes up the most essential of these challenges, giving the distinctively Objectivist view of reason as the human faculty that allows us to mentally grasp universal terms via abstraction from the particular existents that we experience. Thomas presents Ayn Rand's "measurement-omission" theory of concepts in an accessible, fresh manner, showing what makes it possible for our words to have objective meaning. Objective concept-formation is key to clear thinking.


 

We're looking for individuals willing to preview these video programs and give us feedback on the content and the production values and general advise us on how make this course, and the Atlas University as whole, the best it can be.
 

Would you like to participate?
 

Just send an email to atlasu@atlassociety.org and enter "Atlas U" into the subject field of the email.
 

If you are accepted to take part, we will give you free access to these videos over a ten-day period (July  13-23).
 

You will be sent a link to two surveys, one relating to each video. You can use these surveys to offer your feedback. But please complete the surveys by Monday, July 24.
 

We will consider your feedback as we revise these two videos for full public release and as we continue creating videos in this and other Atlas University courses.
 

We would very much appreciate your participation.

Thanks,
 

The Atlas Society
