Peter Spung’s Reviews > American Marxism > Status Update

In Chap 3, Hate America, Inc, Levin outlines the century-long effort to erode Americanism through an Americanized Marxism spread via academia and social engineering. He profiles key Marxist thinkers and leaders and warns of indoctrination in education, linking it to modern policy pushes like free college. The goal: reshape society toward a godless utopian ideal, despite its deadly global legacy and massive failures.

…despite its trail of mass death, enslavement, and impoverishment (eg, the Soviet Union, China, North Korea, Venezuala, and every else it’s been tried & failed.)

He uses the Antifa and BLM movements as case studies, and Piven and Cloward’s essays as the playbook. “Disillusion [by the dispossessed rabble] of the status quo is key. Marxism presents a “new faith” … which promises a new and better society, for which a passion of not obsession is inculcated in future generations— … ”

In Chap 1, Levin relates the Marxist oppressor-oppressed framework to identity groups & the politics of victimology & power. He observes many recent events as proof of its growing use. Americans are only one generation away from the loss of freedoms we enjoy to these tyrannical despots. Levin's purpose is to awaken American patriots to its slow march through institutions & the elite, and to unite against it.
