If we are mark’d to die, we are enow.

Communism, Chapter 7: The Long March through the Institutions
In the 1930s in Italy, an imprisoned Communist, Antonia Gramsci, was writing his “prison papers” opining that the dismantling the key cultural institutions, including the family, was necessary before Communism could take hold. Rudi Dutschke, a German Neo-Marxist in the late 1960s, followed on with this theme declaring that revolution would not succeed by violent over-throw, but by subverting society through “a long march through the institutions of power;” education, media, civil service, and judiciary.

Communism, Chapter 4: Cultural Revolution
Groups of young people known as Red Guards struggled against authorities at all levels of society, setting up their own tribunals. It is estimated that 100,000s if not millions died. The Police turned a blind eye to the Red Guard beating bourgeois elements to death. Mao is quoted as saying,

It needn’t be Grimm. Western Folklore in Australia
In 1854, the eminent folklorist Joseph Jacobs was born in Sydney, New South Wales, though his working life was spent abroad – predominantly in England and the U.S.A. He wished that English speaking children could read tales which had emerged from the folklore of the British Isles, rather than those of the continent made popular by Charles Perrault in the 17th century, and the Grimm Brothers in the first half of the 19th century. Jacobs lamented that Perrault’s genius displayed in Cinderella and Puss in Boots had ousted the English classics of Catskin and Childe Rowland. Likewise, Tom-Tit-Tot had given way to Grimm’s Rumpelstiltschen and The Three Sillies to Hänsel and Gretel.

The Nasty Religion of Naturalism – D. Duffy
The Nasty Religion of Naturalism Author: David Duffy Humanism of late has undergone a mutation; something else has taken its place (almost), a belief system which I will call ‘Naturalism.’As a world view it is neither scientific, rational or humane, but in the irrational fervour which it generates, it does qualify as genuine religion. True, […]
