[applause] thanks for coming. And also 02 cspan as well people say thank god for cspan there isnt many outlets out there that simply put it out there to let people watching and decide for themselves without the interpretation of how youre supposed to interpret that and also to those it is their provocative topics and this will upset a lot of people lined a stand that but if you believe in dialogue and diversity to speak about these things i am open to that so send me an email i will dialoguing and engage with you on this topic avoid the streams of the fourletter words and that type of white which did makes the dialogue easier. I tend to to ignore the other type of email and people asked me a cold war story and friends say why you want to tackle this issue . Marriage and family . You are jumping into a culture you really want to do this . No. It isnt fun to be called nasty names for supporting 99. 99 of the people that have the traditional view of marriage and family but to put your neck out there to be attacked is not fun. But it is precisely because of my background in the areas of lecturing over and over with the communist manifesto, that i did have to write this coming at this from a historical idiological perspective with the ideological history so the power point presentation that my students know that id never do. A really good student of mine put together a fabulous power point presentation as long as i can press the buttons of the gatt will be okay. So to take down the radical left assault of the family is based on my book takedown that just came out a few months ago. It is in electronic form as well as hard copy and i dedicate this to those with the courage to resist redefining bed teaching is a god were the ancestors in the name of tolerance the ounce to demonize and then destroy them. This is what happens when you disagree with the forces of tolerance and diversity. So i dedicate the book to the people who were willing to have the courage to stick to the teaching starting with a quotation and from pope francis of all things in the philippines. I love this quotation of its so perfectly with the history i lay out in the books there are forms of ideological colonization. Think of that it is very good too distraught describe what were facing medicine the mission that god gave us but the family is threatened by growing efforts on the part to be defined the very institution of marriage with relativism every threat to the family is a threat to society itself. One thing that conservatives and the spectrum that they agree is the utterly fundamental important example why the most radical left, there is nothing more fundamental. Every threat to the family is the threat to society itself as it passes through the family said pope francis. I wrote in article in response to his trip to the United States called cherry picking you can find all mine. So lets go through the history. Karl marx. In the communist manifesto. Nothing bothers me when i read into this all the time people say the communist manifesto is a pretty good book you stop to read it talks about sharing and helping your fellow human and humanity and i know as soon as i have read that say that they have not read it because it is an awful book and doesnt take long to get through with a. Is short you can get it for free. Read the 10point plan. The entire theory abolition of private property. Right there. Myofibril daughter cant tell you if you abolish private property will have to kill people in marks says an order for this to happen it will be necessary for a time you have to be an idiot to not realize the youll have to use force but there is a line in their abolition of the family. Exclamation point. So in 1848 already not only talk about abolition of the family but the proposal so apparently it was infamous already. By students say what does that mean . I spend two chapters walking through that very, very carefully and researching difference dollars i will come back. Even before marx there were out to to redefine marriage and family. A number of them, a somber american, but they all tried to set up colonies in the 1800s. So to redefine the family marriage although it has real accelerated it is nothing new. Attempting to do this, zero went zero when in the new party colony in indiana, and these people all sought to redefine the traditional understanding of one man and one woman of marriage a marriage based family of one bad and one mother. Robert o. When stood on top of an july 4th, 1826 to give the anniversary of the declaration of independence. John adams and Thomas Jefferson who is literally dying the country is celebrating and everyone in america is all excited while this is going on. Robert owen is socialist was proclaiming the declaration of mental independence and said. I now declare to you amba world demand has been a slave to a trinity of the most monstrous evils that could be combined to inflict mental and physical evil. So now i have to read more. I refer to private property wittier rational systems of marriage founded upon property combined with these irrational systems of religion here in america the 50th anniversary. All of these ideas are always swirling around to. We ignore them at our peril and wrong selfimposed ignorance some people dont want to see this those people that will email vr 83 ive even going into this. It is not possible to speak of it blessed is he who has no family. Some thank that was partly in jest of his financial situation in but if you knew of his relations of his wife with his children mark said a very, very bad family life he was not a good husband or father several kids died before he did if you committed suicide one of the daughters committed suicide in a pact with her husband and marx denigrated with the most awful racist language and he cheated on his wife with the nursemaid and he impregnated her and eight girls refused to get married he had several mistresses he refused to marry them. He disliked marriage so much she did not get married the abolition end of the family the bushwa bearish is the system of housewives the communist revolution is the most radical wonder its development has the most traditional ideas because one of the fundamentally notion of property and religion the charges to run the exploitation by their parents . People will say reduce trade the most hallowed of relations if you look at the tenth point of the 10point plan. For free Public Education for all children they did not want the educated at home and wanted them educated in public schools. What they hated the most was religion and private property and of course, barks called the religion the opiate of the masses so letted especially despise religion that is adjacent all were shipped is necrophilia. Are you think will you dont have anybody like this in washington . That is the founder of the soviet state to save their to be nothing more abominable comparing religion to venereal disease to thank what is the worst . That is religion friedrich engels. They wrote one year after he said this is a book that marx wanted to write an ingles says the transfer of the means of production and the ownership the Single Family sees this to be part of the economics said he wanted private housekeeping to be transported to a social industry the care and education of children becomes a Public Affair society looks after all children alike anybody ever read alexander take . You should. The leading feminist of the bolshevik revolution and she said the worker mother must learn not to differentiate end remember the workers that society will take it upon themselves all love the duty is to educate the child Melissa Harris perry is very well educated very strong academic on Msnbc Schumer is part of that lead Forward Campaign and made a statement a couple years ago but up close and sounds to alexander. We have never invested as much in Public Education as we should because we have a private notion. We havent had a collective notion we have to break to the private ideas where kids belong to their families to recognize that they belong to the whole community. What i had to find equitation for the book i found a poster on the fox news website i was reading the readers comments this that i have never seen anything like this before it is crazy. Where is she coming up with this idea . That is not new at all. They have been talking about this the hundred and 30 years this is a new at all but what is new is there is a Progressive Movement where people become spokespeople with wide public support and they showed this again and again there just 5100 years behind the bolshevik i dont mean that across the board with the gulag by divorcing and redefining the family with education now 100 out of 100 but quite remarkable issues to talk about the communist party usa. The party that pushed women into industry and have often talked of adopting children cottages and is the all embracing philosophy the teacher is the kind of marriage that you have your relationship with your profession the great convert talked about a communist marriage that usually was not done in a church and is very often temporary long before we had high divorce levels in the United States he said they regarded marriage as a convention and with low fit with the same intensity. Day bourse said communist russia one of the first things that they did if you wanted to own private property or freedom a speech or freedom of religion a fur coat or a bank account but if you want a divorce the sky was the limits you are the freest person in the world here is a card from the out put is the lamp you have it. We will make this easy there will be no obstacles getting in the way go. And very soon with the untendered 50 years they see the divorce rates like they have never seen before i cite one example a steady from the late 60s publish from Harvard University press that it is not unusual to the soviet ben and women who were divorced upwards of 15 times. It mantic published a piece the russians tried to abolish marriage remember abolition of the family with marx. If the force was an epidemic in the u. S. S. R. Then abortion was the black plague the of the earth the unearthing a major if you want an abortion go. Full privatization if you want an abortion go get it. Leaded had written as serbias 1913 promised unconditional moments of course, it was what year . By 1920 it was fully and legally available provided free of charge by 1934 moscow had free three abortions for every live Earth Committee get flipped for us. Abortion got so bad a bolshevik russia stolid interfered he said we will not have a population and by the way you should see he is reprimanded by trotsky you cannot be a good, but is to abolish abortion. What are you doing . Buddies and we will not have a population of this keeps up than stalin dies eventually replaced by khrushchev one of the first things he did is to bring back a portion so by the late 60s one confined soviet women who had as many as 20 abortions and by the 70s the u. S. S. R. Was averaging between seven and 8 million abortions per year between seven and 8 million per year. Bayadere 2050 there is a great piece of this russia is looking at a population plunged that they attribute of to abortion and abortion induced infertility and Vladimir Putin is the first major limits on abortion and in decades because he realizes this hurts the population even the National Fertility rates. Margaret sanger i have a of a chapter in the book the founder of planned parenthood which began as then abc al the American Birth Control League i call them progresses George Bernard shaw Margaret Sanger had an affair with him john dewey the founder of American Education to make the pilgrimage to russia theyre all of the left some our socialist some archimedes party usas sympathizers so you think maybe a day are a little ahead of us lets go see what theyre doing so singer goes over to see if she can have learned about Birth Control. She was not publicly on record for abortion she wanted planned parenthood to have Birth Control to control the number of blue birth with racial eugenics she also wanted Birth Control for sexual freedom she had an affair with h. G. Wells well she was married but said when they want Birth Control for abortion we do not there is that they were dangerous and the boarding of the old womans offspring we condemn that in the strongest sense of course, 80 years later planned parenthood not only supports it but once federal funding and if you are against that and it is a war on women so the progressives had to evolves. So senator close to russia to sushi commercial Birth Control she came back and wrote an article that said in russia and the mother and child are under the protection of the care the government listened very carefully theoretically there are no obstacles to Birth Control is on the grounds of health and human rights we could take example from russia of the soviet union. To be on the verge much the villages condemnation as part of the regular welfare service. We want no legal restrictions and if you dont support Birth Control than you favor a war on women. So were just 80 years behind was ingersoll. But on abortion and to her credit she was aghast at the number of abortions she was seeing. It was horrible she said the total number is not known but from moscow alone is estimated at 100,000 per year per girl that was right that was correct. Here is a picture of utopianism but all the officials with whom i discussed the matter stated as soon as the economic and social plans are realized realized, neither abortion and contraception will be necessary a communist society will usher the happiness of all to assume the full responsibility. So if they just have more power, dont worry give us more communism and statecontrolled that wont even be necessary. A full faith of the progressive utopian state. Now moving on. Jumping ahead where you really start to get serious change to understand marriage of family and sexuality is not communist party usa or the traditional communist a lot of those people tended to be more socially conservative but the big change comes from the Frankfurt School and there are people in america who were wondering if it exist. The Frankfort School at a jury in the 30s and 40s to shrewd the understand they could not take down the left their economic class base marxism. In the most liberal americans know the free market outperforms it will outperform communism and socialism the key to take down the west is through culture and sexuality and gender through the Conveyor Belt of media, movies media, movies, Hollywood Comedy york especially especially especially academia academia academia. That was a long slow march they infused it with freudian as some freudian ism with gender sensuality and relations to argue people were fully capable to be bisexual at a very young age fully capable of premarital sex smashing monogamy one of their original creatures long before the left picked that up but a contrarian communist one of the founders and george said theyre the enemy most of the guys did that have good marriages. Woman is the enemy healthy love dies in marriage which is a business transaction. The bourgeois family the traditional family stinks. Politics is only the means. So there are a bunch of these have to flee berlin because many were jewish and when hitler came to take germany there were forced to flee berlin. There are very few places in the world will into except these freaks what college would accept them . There was one. Columbia university. And john dewey in particular what gave the School President with others to say they are doing a fabulous work bring it to the United States to a columbia. He is also thinking he is honorary president and is thinking they can do fabulous work also through the Teachers College that was the preeminent Teachers College at the time i have a full chapter on wilhelm as well. He was sexually completely out of control at a very, very young age. Trying to have sex in bed with his nanny when he is really young. Maybe six or seven. I know what to say this on television but the danes he did to itself sexually were very unusual. And said marriages fall to pieces of the discrepancy between sexual needs and economic condition and writes the book the sexual revolution. Sexual needs could be gratified with the same partner for a limited time only. Tell that to your wives. Im sorry only for a limited time. So i will smash this monogamous relationship that is the wretchedness of marriage so he writes to force the most influential from the school as an intellectual guru to the new left with the Weather Underground bill errors, these people all red parka so with half dozen different institutions with harvard and columbia and a bunch of others to talk about polymorphous perverse city which was sexuality that included oral and
