From WSJopinion: The rioting on U.S. streets encapsulates five decades of indoctrination in schools, colleges and universities, writes andrewmichta

Wonder Land: Joe Biden’s campaign depends on enough people hating Trump to transfer national power to the Democratic left. Images: Getty Images/NY Post Composite: Mark Kelly‘Death to America!” is a common refrain from antifa rioters from Portland, Ore., to Kenosha, Wis. Children are in the streets calling for the country’s destruction while mobs of college kids trash public spaces, filming themselves as though part of a performance-art spectacle.

These acts of violence encapsulate five decades of neo-Marxist indoctrination in American schools, colleges and universities. The left’s “long march” through the institutions is all but complete. Extreme intolerance has now replaced the liberal notion of negotiated compromise that is theof democracy.

Their ignorance of history is the hallmark of the current crisis. Few seem able to grasp the complex, often painful, but on balance grand story of America—one that is an example of what a people committed to individual freedom can achieve. Instead, they have been indoctrinated to reduce American life to a racial binary of whites vs. “people of color.” It’s much like the communist binary of the bourgeoisie vs.

The violence suggests that tribalism based on group identity is poised to succeed the larger national community that for more than two centuries has protected and expanded freedom around the world.

The American nation has its dark sides, with slavery remaining a deep scar on its history. Nonetheless, the power of the American ideal offered millions something that no other culture could, namely the chance to reinvent and renew one’s life, advance one’s position, and create a better future for one’s children.

opinion And the fascists and whites supremacists and the Klan and the militias.... they will be the end of the democracy. America is on the way to a fascist state.

opinion Да,уж!))))))))))))))))))))))))))))) У страха ,глаза велики!(Русская пословица!) Fear has big eyes! (Russian proverb!)

opinion IF SOMEONE IS CAUGHT BURNING THE AMERICAN FLAG THEY NEED TO GO TO JAIL.

opinion This is a fabulous opinion piece. The readers who don’t get it I feel bad for.

opinion It will blow over. You underestimate the shallow materialism of the American people. The revolution of the 60s faded because the hippie communes were so damn uncomfortable. Disco came, and was followed by dress for success, and ultimately by Reagan.

opinion And this is why Trump will win, again... The left is so sure they have the moral and intellectual absolute right. The cancel culture, airbrushing history, policing words, free speech... They even consider it benevolent to 'educate' their Republican misguided little brethren...

opinion Calm down Andy, these protests are against racism. But your frustration is understandable, for someone who has likely never experienced racism it must be baffling and confusing. It’s easy for someone like you to brush it off as “Neo Marxism”. You aren’t at the receiving end dear

opinion These people are so lazy, they just want to get something for nothing and rob others of the fruits of their hard work.

opinion Good thing they don’t have an entire political party at their disposal, like Republican authoritarians do. Let’s focus on the clear and present danger, not red herrings.

opinion A group of Neo-conservatives, starting with the newt, on the street and in institutions embarked on the agenda to erase their opponents and deconstruct the country - it culminated with their alliance to America's current enemies.

opinion As I always said you still stuck in this capitalism-marxism fight that does not exist anymore. World has changed, if you noticed. Not even China is Communist but a Capitalist country controled by a party. We have climate change and growing inequality, the real problems to address

opinion Wanting to 'erase their opponents and deconstruct the country' sounds kinda like it is getting near sedition and treason isn't it? DEBATE your opponents and CHANGE the country would be ok with me. ERASE and DECONSTRUCT has a treasonous finality sound to it that I would fight.

opinion Fear tactics by would-be authoritarians.

opinion

opinion So our democracy is in danger if we don’t re-elect this guy? Right.

opinion Race baiting no longer works in the suburbs

opinion I came of age in the 70s (which sucked), so I missed the volatility and passion of the 60s. Glad to see my kids are out there leading the revolution ...... glad to see some passion back. The author and those of his generation/mindset will be taking the dirt nap soon.

opinion While the nation is being destroyed from within. I am not a Neo-Marxist. I do not want to erase my opponents. However, I do want you to come to grips with reality, before it is too late.

opinion Ah, Biden voter.

opinion Thank you Trump supporting populist Let’s be real, modern populism is a scam.

opinion These neo-Marxists?

opinion get out, get the hell out! or we will find you and bust your chops and then kick you out!

opinion Neo-Marxists? I have never seen one or even heard of one until this tweet.

opinion Oh, more scary opinions from the WSJ...go ahead, lean a little more to the right but watch your step!

opinion When did the Wall Street Journal become an hysterical tabloid?

opinion Words count: 'micro-aggression' for a mildly insulting comment does contain aggression in it, which justifies the use of force against the aggressor. Focus on the oppressed/oppressor dichotomy all the time, to entice violence rather than solution finding... not good.

opinion Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it. This is history repeating itself. And we all know the miserable outcome!

opinion ....all these parents...well off and paying for their kids deconstruction....whatever happened to the good old days of education while drinking and partying!

opinion The neo-fascists are a much larger problem.

opinion And on the right neo-fascists try to run Biden’s bus off the road and kill protesters. The extremes are ugly, and unfortunately our president is at the extreme. Biden is not, no matter how hard the opinion tries to declare otherwise. Most of us are in the middle.

opinion When POTUS concluded he could kill someone on Fifth Avenue and get away with it, he decided to take it to another order of magnitude by killing hundreds of thousands on streets all over the United States of America!

opinion I suppose that's the view from the haughty, wealthy elite on the right. America could certainly use a little more than a shift towards the middle and average man. Perhaps benevolence would make a healthy comeback.

opinion Yes we do! A system that lets millions of Americans starve & denies them health care & keeps kids in cages & executes men for the crime of being or allying with black ppl. All while ppl like Jeff Bezos rake in megaprofits, tax free. It's broken. Yes, we want to replace it.

opinion I am assuming this is irony as none of it is at all based in reality. I work at a University and I have never seen or experienced any of this. Looking at the bio this guy is a dean at a college in Germany. Maybe he is mad that he could not get a position at a US school. Bitter

opinion

opinion Estos son los de la extrema derecha. These are the neo fascist far-right

opinion Looks like a DNC rally, Real Americans don't do that!

opinion This is the furthest reach I have ever seen. You have taken protests against police brutality and applied your own fear mongering WSJ shut up

opinion American experiment is under threat. But from the crypto fascists like the scum at the opinion

opinion What’s more scary are threats on view yesterday: voter suppression to throw out 100,000 votes by people who cast them according to the rules that were given, intimidation of opponents with the swarming of the Biden/Harris bus, and police selectively picking and choosing

opinion Time to adopt the Israeli model of required service for all.

opinion These groups include Black Lives Matters! Doesn’t Tweeter, Facebook, and Google support Black Lives Matter? Notice BLM took down their view on families? They have no interest in helping “Black Lives”, if they did, they would be marching in Chicago, and calling out the mayor!

opinion You keep trying this racist stuff. I’m hoping citizens are smarter than you are.

opinion Indeed. The biggest problem is from the right’s rampant fascism

opinion Trump is a FAR greater threat to American ideals all by himself than any of these people. But as an agent of chaos, Trump strengthens extremists on both the left and right.

opinion andrewmichta I was taught that America was prosperous because of god. Turns out, it was from stealing land land labor. Break the illusion and fight injustice.

opinion andrewmichta they burn the flag.......makes you think what this group is really for.

opinion andrewmichta Oh dear Andy, your types only pick out Is the rioting”, for those at the receiving end of racism it’s a protest at years of oppression. Good try though. BTW the systemic racism narrative is going to stick and there is nothing you can do about it.

opinion andrewmichta The newt Gingrich started the process to erase his opponents and deconstruct the country!

opinion andrewmichta “As cities burn and racialists push to resegregate public spaces, the deconstruction of the American nation is coming dangerously close to completion.” Spot on! This lucid essay condemns the fashionable fanaticism of neo-Marxists and the pervasive ignorance of US history. 2020

opinion andrewmichta Does the article speak to protesting or just to rioting?

opinion andrewmichta

opinion andrewmichta No US,just blm

opinion andrewmichta This is what socialism has brought us. I was happier before 2005. The rise of haters and activists on facebook and other digital media. We never had this type of problems in tge 90's

opinion andrewmichta These people are thugs who support BLM. These are the very people who are lost and will not have a life with the Democrats in the White House. Just look what Obama did to the black community. NOTHING!

opinion andrewmichta BLM, Antifa , Marxist, these are anti government and socialist ideation. There is no law and order with them. They are the law, who can take away your rights and your hard earned money! They are the superior in a sense and we are all subjects. Vote GOP!

opinion andrewmichta The American Experiment was destroyed by the White Supremacist Republican party and its sole objective of maintaining power and control.

opinion andrewmichta The indoctrination on our colleges is despicable. Students are being ban by suppressing their views and their first amendment. Universities and colleges must not be funded by our tax payers. Tax payers are of different-political party.

opinion andrewmichta Outstanding article!

opinion andrewmichta Let's get something straight: the FBI has made it crystal clear that it is RW militia groups that pose by far the greatest danger to US society-not Antifa (an ideology), and not BLM. And if you want to talk about widespread looting you need look no further than the Trump family.

opinion andrewmichta The rioting on U.S. streets encapsulates the identity of those who call themselves 'liberals'

andrewmichta opinion If I had a PhD I would say this piece is deeply problematic.

opinion andrewmichta Turn the lens around! The chaos begins at the top, not in the streets. Its origins are in the boardrooms and the counting houses where a kleptocracy hijacked the government and the judiciary and installed a carceral police state. Real looting!

opinion andrewmichta US citizens can choose to give in to the radical leftist that are attempting to ursurp our society Or they can choose to eliminate these treasonous anti-American radicals that have hijacked the BLM movement, along with their elitist supporters!

opinion andrewmichta burn the flag get out you jerk, get out

opinion andrewmichta This article is not accurate and it’s insulting to America’s great youth, which has not been indoctrinated, inculcated or anything else. If a radical burning a US flag is said to show contempt for our country what does such an article of right wing tropes as this show?

opinion andrewmichta Bullshit. It’s the violent right.

opinion andrewmichta I can make Logo for your business at reasonable price ( start from 5$$$$ ) in 24 hrs-3days. ( i can make Minimal ,water color .3D logos ) so Don't cut your pocket every now and then. plz check my GIG or message me for more info

opinion andrewmichta Oh bullsh-t

opinion andrewmichta Well written article, I agree with many of his points.

opinion andrewmichta Taking a stand for the uneducated, Opinion now only accepts garbage written by HS dropouts.

opinion andrewmichta Ignorant or purposefully misleading?

opinion andrewmichta Seems kinda accurate, also some media and Hollywood trying so hard to be relevant are pushing this nonsense.

opinion andrewmichta The article would have been far more compelling if it balanced the effects of the radical right AND the radical left. Instead it comes across as demonizing one side of the argument and letting the other side go free. I agree the biggest threat is balanced discourse and discussion

opinion andrewmichta Aren’t we going to blame the rioting on the 60’s? Somehow it always seem to be easy to blame all those love fest kids now in their 60’s.😜

opinion andrewmichta Another hunk of shit from the opinion desk. Thanks again for reminding me why I cancelled my subscription.

opinion andrewmichta I think centuries of white supremacy a better hypothesis.

opinion andrewmichta I assume everyone over at the WSJ has a university degree. Do you have a lot of rioting and flag burning at the office?

opinion andrewmichta I was taught to believe the 5th Amendment, giving everyone a fair trial, not the 'shoot people and ask questions later' approach given by cops to Black Americans. This opinion is in direct opposition of the Constitution and in direct support of murder. This is serial killer shit

opinion andrewmichta I guess by 'constructing the country' opinion writer simply wants to bring back the slavery.

opinion andrewmichta Education is not indoctrination,, these fascist cucs push a narrative that if you dont fall in line with their neo nazi governance you are in some way brain washed,, its amazing to say the least

opinion andrewmichta BidenHarrisToSaveAmerica

opinion andrewmichta the pledge of allegiance, liberty and justice for all____?

opinion andrewmichta There’s been no reputable reporting - incl - that confirms the outrageous “Death to America!” claim made by this author. As a Portland BlackLivesMatter/anti-fascist protestor, I’ve never once heard this. Totally irresponsible & dangerous to print this w/o proof. mmfa

opinion andrewmichta lol try being white guy and try get college grant ==low interest home loans or SBA business loan last 45 years what about A/Action hired look courts last 45 years == accountable ,where whites get life the blacks get 5-10 years

opinion andrewmichta This is a shamelessly stupid article. I have 3 degrees and my 3 kids are recent college graduates and we have heard a word of neo-Marxism on campus. Not once. How about an analysis of the very real problem of armed far-right militias, virtually none of whom attended college?

opinion andrewmichta You still stuck in this capitalism-marxism notion of the world that does not longer exist. We are headed for a new world, we do not really know how it will be, with the climate change as the real enemy. (Not enough resources for an exploding population).

opinion andrewmichta What Does God Say About President Trump?

opinion andrewmichta WSJ you are just as bad as Fox News, a disgrace!

opinion andrewmichta Dumbest argument ever

opinion One look at this guy's twitter feed, and you will understand why this article is bound to be deranged right wing garbage.

opinion andrewmichta

opinion andrewmichta Or it can encapsulate the fact that people are tired of a legal system which has been statistically proven to be biased against segments of the population and tired of the perpetrators not being held accountable and the legal system remaining unreformed.

opinion andrewmichta I made this pledge and forever will keep: 'I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.'

opinion andrewmichta How much BS can one be able to write in a news paper, I think I’ll will try and see if I can get a space too. BS! BS! And more BS!

opinion andrewmichta ROFLLLL If after 400 years, Black people are *still* consistently victimized/abused by the state, that’s pretty clear that the experiment failed. Hilarious to chastise the violent reaction to injustice while praising a nation that was created by violent reaction to injustice.

opinion andrewmichta No crying in baseball kid. You don’t like the suspected OUTCOME of the so called experiment—so you whine about it.

opinion andrewmichta What a piece of trash article this is.

opinion andrewmichta 🙄

opinion andrewmichta Any opinion on the white supremacists, 'proud' boys, boogaloos, or the okey-dokies? I hear they've got a fabulous set of indoctrination videos to train the self-made domestic terrorist. WSJMurdochRag

opinion andrewmichta Let's talk about who's in the streets killing the American experiment.

opinion andrewmichta CCP United Front have infiltrated our universities and government agencies

opinion andrewmichta All demonstrators are rioters? Is gassing peaceful demonstrators in DC for a Trump bible pic legal? I thought freedom of assembly and speech was a right? This author paints all demonstrators as rioters. Almost as if this author prefers North Korean style government to the US.

opinion andrewmichta

opinion andrewmichta Damn it! If only conservatives had not ceded the battlegrounds for young people's minds to Marxists.

opinion andrewmichta

opinion andrewmichta Only took 3 decades of Limbaugh and Fox to make republicans cheer for an autocratic leader. You've always been more efficient.

opinion andrewmichta Shorter: “I don’t think the majority is being nice enough to the minority party that has abused the system to seize control against popular will.” Welcome to a vibrant democracy, chump.

opinion andrewmichta AKA = Losers who miss their participation trophies

opinion andrewmichta GoAway

opinion andrewmichta Ah, yes, another Koch funded hit piece. Ignore.

opinion andrewmichta Burning a flag does not a riot make.

opinion andrewmichta more like five decades of republicans fucking the country up
