Gary Saul Morson Quotes

Woke ideology is a form of cultural Marxism.

Our universities are run by leaders who are models of the left-wing ideology that dominates so much of our politics and culture. It deems the rights of certain people less worthy of protection than others; it divides the world into oppressor and oppressed. You can call for the murder of all Jews, but say sex is biological and you will be punished.

Marxism, communism, socialism - the ideologies - did not have the automatic answers to the problem of the relations between the lighter and darker races of mankind. They did not even have an answer to anti-Semitism.

Hillary Clinton, the most Godless woman in the Senate, right out of the Marxist playbook...

There is a meta discussion, which is the discussion of either good or evil, between freedom and democracy as opposed to totalitarians and murderers. I have decided to take sides with good and against the woke crowd and their stupid interpretation of freedom, out of which comes the account of oppressors versus the oppressed, which is, at bottom, post-Marxism. They have taken the class struggle to other issues—women against men, black against white, the indigenous people’s agenda, the LGBT agenda, the climate agenda, man against nature. The most violent expression of this is the abortion agenda, which is disguised as goodness when in fact it’s a bloody agenda. Unless Europe breaks from that agenda, it will be doomed and disappear in the way that we know it.

Theres no hope, none, of ever talking about it without pissing somebody, if not everybody, off...By the end of this hour I will be seen by many as a terrorist sympathizer, a Zionist tool. A self-hating Jew, an apologist for American imperialism, an orientalist, socialist, fascist, CIA agent, and worse.

What I experienced in Cuba, I have become a student of what, how communism operates.

We turn to Marx, therefore, not because he is infallible, but because he is inescapable.

Karl Marx himself preferred a glass of claret to the mug of tea affected by some of his recent converts.

When you mention the word ideology, everyone has communism in the back of their minds, which was an entirely well formulated ideology and statement of belief. You read the Communist Manifesto and you know what the core of it is.

A socialist is someone who has read Lenin and Marx. An anti-socialist is someone who understands Lenin and Marx.

That Marxism should triumph in Russia, where there is no industry, would be the greatest contradiction that Marxism could undergo. But there is no such contradiction, for there is no such triumph. Russia is Marxist more or less as the Germans of the Holy Roman Empire were Romans.

The Communists have no need to introduce free love; it has existed almost from time immemorial.

Communism, like any other revealed religion, is largely made up of prophecies. When they fail to come off its clergy simply say that they will be realized later on. Thus, if we have another boom, they will argue that the collapse of capitalism is only postponed. The fact that the greatest booms ever heard of followed Marx's formal prophecy of the downfall of capitalism is already forgotten, just as millions have long since forgotten the early Christian prophecy that the end of the world was at hand. The first Christians accepted postponements as docilely as the Communists of today.

I was a man who was lucky enough to have discovered a political theory, a man who was caught up in the whirlpool of Cuba's political crisis...; discovering Marxism...was like finding a map in the forest.

As far as social-economic theory is concerned, I am still a Marxist

For one who has read the works of Marx it is frightening to look back at the grim determination with which so many nations steadfastly hewed to the very course which he insisted would lead to their undoing.

I am a socialist. However, I have to add that what I understand by socialism is exactly the opposite of what many people, or most people, today mean by socialism.
