About one month ago, @jaredlholt at Right Wing Watch published a really important article that linked to an essay at The Claremont Institute's "The American Mind." The topic of the essay by the Institute's president: "Defend America--Defeat Multiculturalism." In essence, the
2/ essay is a reformulated popularization of William S. Lind's "cultural Marxism." The essay does not use that term. Instead, it borrows the terms "multiculturalism" and "political correctness" and gives them a more operational use. Ryan Williams does not identify the proponents
3/ of multiculturalism, except to describe it as an "authoritative ideology," a "comprehensive ideology," a "worldview," and a "regime." Like the 7 Mountains doctrine, multiculturalists, whoever they are, control the institutions that produce new knowledge and information,
4/ including "corporate boardrooms." Multiculturalism poses an "existential threat" to America in his formulation. Williams' also updates and reformulates the Nazi-era "blood and soil" into "America is more than an idea--it is a people and a country." When you combine this thrust
5/ with the recent "National Conservatism" conference which sought to normalize Trumpism with a new "blood and soil" formulation, one can see the ideological outlines of Trump's campaign, now and into 2020.
