Gramsci saw that Marx was wrong. Capitalism wasn’t folding as he predicated and people weren’t flocking to Marxism. He theorized that there was something he called a “cultural hegemony” preventing this. People who lived in a common culture were unified and comfortable with the status quo, especially if there was a large middle class. So Gramsci suggested that their values had to be portrayed as wrong. That their culture was neither “natural” nor “inevitable.” He suggested that their culture be undermined and subverted. He saw that middle class cultural values were tied to religion, so religion had to be discredited and undermined. That is largely why you see a relentless attack on Christianity in Western Culture now. It is seen as a “glue” holding our culture together. And thus, it must be broken. Gramsci’s theories are also the reason you see so much effort to trash conventional American values. Middle America is portrayed as stupid, racist, etc. in an effort to de-legitimize it. “Progressive” values are portrayed as “right-thinking.” Even though those values are constantly changing depending on what they consider good or bad at the time.
The second major influence on the modern statists is the Frankfurt School.
Like Gramsci, they developed an approach to overthrowing Western Civilization so it could be replaced by Marxist thought. Their system is called “critical theory.” Critical Theory sought to destroy western culture by attacking every aspect of it and dividing everyone, setting them on each other so there is no unity. Multiculturalism is designed to destroy the dominant culture by suggesting that other cultures must be given a superior status than your own. It seeks to make everyone feel they’re part of an oppressed minority (except whites, the dominate ethnic group) which is why whites, especially white males, are made to be the villains. You are made to feel ashamed of your race if you’re white because “you killed the Indians, you enslaved the blacks, etc.” even though you did no such thing. When those things happened, it was a minority of whites who did them and most Americans are descended from immigrants who came after those events occurred.
The statists push non-white immigration because they think it gives them more power, thus in the early 1960s immigration laws were changed to favor non-Europeans. And in Britain, similar tactics were employed by the Labour party to flood the nation with immigrants from other cultures. Weaken the majority and you can more easily push your agenda. Or so the theory goes.
