How Marxism Infiltrated America: The Long March Through the Institutions | The Sweet Tea Series

In this episode of The Sweet Tea Series, Ariana Guajardo sits down with Mandy Drogin, Senior Fellow of Government Reform at the Texas Public Policy Foundation, to break down the history and strategy behind “The Long March Through the Institutions” — the decades-long effort by Marxist thinkers and activists to reshape Western culture from within.

Topics covered include: * The origins of the “Long March Through the Institutions” * Herbert Marcuse, Antonio Gramsci, and the Frankfurt School * How Marxist ideology entered universities and K-12 education * Critical theory, critical race theory, and cultural revolution * Teachers unions, academia, and institutional influence * The breakdown of faith, family, and Western values * COVID lockdowns, DEI, and modern political activism * Why parents and patriots are fighting back If you’ve ever wondered, “How did we get here?” — this conversation connects the dots.
