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

How did America’s schools, media, universities, and cultural institutions become so radically different in just a few generations? 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. From Karl Marx and the Frankfurt School to critical theory, higher education, teachers unions, and modern culture wars, Mandy walks through how these ideas spread through America’s institutions and why so many parents are now pushing back. 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.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
