Globalism, Deep State, Marxism...call it what you will - it is all the same.

Cultural Marxism takes center stage with this report. From Knight's & Lucas' discussion of political correctness and how the left imposes it upon the rest of us, through Knighton's expose of 'progressive' hypocrisy, and Ludwig's broader exploration of our progress in the battle between Marxism and liberty. (Damn, there's a sentence to leave an Evergreen State English prof breathless - bite me.)
John Warren wraps it up with damning perspective - here's a taste:
As a life-long student of political systems in general and communism in particular, it occurred to me that anyone reading works by Kengor, Solzhenitsyn, or Alinsky, and listening to today’s newsfakers must be struck by the effectiveness of yet another successful disinformation and smear campaign by Russian/Communist/Progressive/Alt-Left operatives.Onward and upward, Steemers!

That would be the universe of political correctness, whose enforcement methods range from campus violence to public shaming on the Internet.
Social justice warriors are confused.
That's the most optimistic explanation for their insanely contradictory stances on multiculturalism. On the one hand, they say that all cultures are equal and should be equally appreciated. On the other hand, if you appreciate a culture too much, you're guilty of "cultural appropriation."
Then they go off to teach yoga, an age-old Hindu practice.
Plaintiffs support the rights of citizens and other businesses to express their views about marriage. Plaintiffs simply seek to enjoy the same freedom.
Yet, East Lansing’s policy strips plaintiffs of their constitutional freedoms, including free speech and the free exercise of religion, by punishing plaintiffs’ viewpoint on marriage, going so far as to prohibit Country Mill from continuing its long history of participating in the farmers market because plaintiffs publicly stated their sincerely held religious view that marriage is a union between one man and one woman.
The election of Donald Trump may seem to be the last straw in a string of defeats for the cultural Marxists. Over the past eight years, more than three fifths of the states are now governed by the Republicans. The Republicans won the House of Representatives in 2010 and the Senate in 2014. Now they control the Executive Branch as well. Decades of left-wing stealth and politically correct manipulation of the society and of political processes are dying before their eyes.
Cultural Marxism seems so often to have become a permanent and ineluctable force in the American social and political landscape. Tens of millions have asked themselves if these "changes" can really be turned back. Trump's election seems to turn a corner in giving an affirmative answer to that question. In fact, it is a definitive repudiation of decades of drift towards the left.
Just as there were old Nazis who never gave up, there are old Commies who never gave up—and they’re still cooking their vicious stew of race and class hate, moral disintegration, economic unrest, and religious disaffection. Only now, it may not be for world domination by Marxist theology, but the same players might be using the same idiots to accomplish the same end: Pull down whichever American does not serve their purpose: at the moment, it’s our very imperfect warrior, Donald Trump.
