Totally correct. The institutions mentioned in this substack (along with many others that were not included for reasons of length of the article), simply are too corrupt and riddled with termites to be “fixed”. They must be dismantled and scrapped, and will have to start again. But before we can do that, we will have to deal with the totally corrosive and destructive influence of the “progressives” which are simply rebranded/renamed Marxists. I see no way for there to be compromise with them, because they don’t want to compromise. We have understand that.

We must also understand that Marxism is NOT an economic theory. It is a religion first and foremost. Anyone who doesn’t understand that is either has not studied Marxism, or if they have they didn’t understand what they studied.

“¹The Department of Education simply indoctrinates. The Department of Defense defends the borders of foreign nations. The Department of Justice ensures that we live under anarcho-tyranny.”

“The Ministry of Peace concerns itself with war, the Ministry of Truth with lies, the Ministry of Love with torture and the Ministry of Plenty with starvation. These contradictions are not accidental, nor do they result from ordinary hypocrisy: they are deliberate exercises in doublethink.”

— George Orwell, “Nineteen Eighty-Four”, Part II, Chapter IX

Hipsters who like to say that Orwell was wrong just didn't give our societies long enough to shift from hands-off manipulation to hands-on totalitarianism.
