Priorities: Your Department of Homeland Security Now Fighting For Environmental Justice

This is what they do. Eager little termites infest every single institution and weaken it and chew it to dust.

Or, rather, its original mission is so reduced to dust. Cultural Marxism insists that every institution be turned to the mission of promoting warfare within the state, sex against sex, race against race.

President Obama's Department of Homeland Security (DHS) outlined an "environmental justice strategy" that would review how a variety of DHS activities, from interaction with local governments to granting regulatory permits, affect poor and minority populations.

DHS defines environmental justice as "the commitment of the Federal Government . . . to avoid placing disproportionately high and adverse effects on the human health and environment of minority populations and low-income populations."

It's important to always remember Gramsci's Long March Through The Institutions.

The Long March Through The Institutions

Gramsci saw an important role in the transformation of society for those he called "organic" intellectuals (as opposed to "traditional" intellectuals). "Organic" intellectuals were to be intellectuals belonging to the repressed groups and making an effort to undermine the "hegemony" with the assistance of any "traditional" intellectuals they could persuade to defect from the dominant point of view. They will flourish as the roots of counter-hegemony grow. In other words, Gramsci was recommending recruiting radicalized women, members of minority groups, and others into the fold – affirmative action before that term was coined. Changing the minds of "traditional" intellectuals was particularly valuable, as they were already well positioned within the dominant educational institutions. The "long march through the institutions" – a phrase we also owe to Gramsci – began.

Culture War

Gramsci counseled his side to begin a “long march through the institutions,” by which he meant the capture of the cinema, theater, schools, universities, seminaries, newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and courts. It is past time to begin a long march in a new and better direction.

Seeing that the West was too prosperous for standard Marxist theory's prescription of class agitation to work, Western Marxists turned instead to cultural Marxism, pitting women against men and race against race.
