Cultural Marxism As A Case Study On The Worldview Impact Of Education Strategy1

Patrick Wyett

Abstract

In 2008, presidential candidate Barack Obama promised that electing him would initiate a fundamental transformation of America. His ascension to power did not represent a time of change as much as it measured the change over time which had already occurred via the Cultural Marxist transformative process initially introduced into an unsuspecting nation via the public education system as well as in bible colleges and seminaries. Properly understood, President Obama was not the herald of a new way of thinking but rather a marker of acceptance of the old ideas which he championed by a society that had surreptitiously already undergone a radical change from its founding principles. So it is that having a working knowledge of Cultural Marxism, its history, strategies, methods, and goals is essential to understanding the guided stages of degradation that American society and the church have undergone. This article will examine the ideological shifts which have taken place by design: culturally, politically, and most importantly, spiritually.

Classical Marxism and Cultural Marxism have the same goals and ends but seek to reach them by different means. Marxism, in whatever its form, is a call for human governance that not only denies the God of Creation, it seeks to eliminate Him from human thought. Human history indicates a simple truth: Men must be governed
