Transformational Marxism, the Dialectic and the Dumbing Down of America
Bernard Pyron
Many know George Orwell's book 1984 - published in the late forties -
as describing a horrible police state that apparently came out of
Marxism. But 1984 is also about the denial of objective reality. The
party poured out propaganda saying war is peace and black is white and
many more blatant lies.
In 1984 Orwell's main character Winston talked to his girl friend
about the denial of objective reality. But she was not interested in
such an abstract idea and was bored. While Winston was somewhat aware
of the Party's denial of objective reality, most people under the
regime in power accepted the enormous lies made by the Party's
propaganda apparatus.
Orwell points out that the Party created reality and substituted their
reality for objective reality. Using the denial of objective reality
and creating a new reality, the Party's conditioning - perhaps by
using the principles of behaviorism - finally beat Winston and he
lost his intelligence and independence from the Party. The Party had to
break him, because it cannot allow people with understanding to oppose
its rule and its propaganda.
Writing in the late forties, George Orwell was not focused only on a future post-Christian society in which the
family has been severely weakened by non-violent transformational
Marxism. His experience had been in the Revolution in Spain where the
violent Marxists fought the Fascists. Theodore W. Adorno's book, The Authoritarian Personality, had not been published then.
But the propaganda procedures of non-violent Marxism and those of Nazi
fascism and violent Marxism are much the same.
Orwell also wrote essays and in one he said that in Germany during the
Nazi era telling lies by the people in power was so common that the
people would not believe anyone was telling the truth. Orwell said
that in the forties the Nazi propaganda machine denied that such a
thing as truth existed.
Before people such as Dean Gotcher taught about what transformational
Marxism and the dialectic are about in the US since Theodor Adorno's
1950 book The Authoritarian Personality, few understood exactly what
the propaganda machines and methods of deception were all about.
Transformational Marxism and its dialectic method of changing
attitudes, perceptions and beliefs amounts to the denial of objective
reality. This is because when the "facilitator" focuses the attention
of his or her group upon understanding as being mere opinions to be
changed in a situation where the thing to do is "lets talk about it"
and come to an agreement, and "how do you feel about it" eventually
undermine accurate perception of objective reality.
Opinions, feelings and group consensus building overcome accurate
discernment. All this overthrows accurate perception of reality, since the
"facilitators" teach that there is no absolute objective reality.
What results when the public school system, the universities, the
media etc are all or almost all are run by transformational Marxists
using the dialectic is a massive amount of telling lies in society.
In the drug movement, starting in about 1962,the "facilitators" taught
many in the movement to value dreams, fantasy and private experiencing
on drug trips. The create your own reality idea was popularized by
the drug movement in the sixties and seventies. The drug movement
opened up a crack in the solid wall of belief in an objective reality.
This crack in the belief in an objective reality was widened by the
influence from humanistic psychology, such as the ideas of Carl Rogers
and Abraham Maslow.
Propagandists may appeal to the emotions and desires - because if you
can arouse feelings and desires rather than discernment, intelligence
and the will, then you have a better chance of getting people to
accept your lies and half truths.
Carl Rogers was a clinical psychologist who taught that people lie to
themselves and to others with their intellect. So he over-emphasized
the expression of feelings as being the authentic "self."
Abraham Maslow taught that the expression of emotions and fulfillment
of "needs" really desires, must come first. The call of Rogers to
express feelings and not discernment or cognition and that of Maslow
to first fulfill more animal-like "needs" or desires and to develop
self-esteem and go on to "self-actualization" plus Rogers emphasis
upon the "fully functioning person had widespread and strong
influence upon the educated youth and soon to much of the educational
world and to popular culture. This all fits in with transformational
Marxism, though neither Rogers nor Maslow were members of the
Frankfurt School from Germany like Theodore W. Adorno.
The debunking of intellect, cognitive ability, discernment and
intelligence as understanding made it easier for political and
cultural leaders to rule people by deception - because gradually
transformational Marxism with its attack upon the Christian foundation
of Western culture and its undermining of the family dumbs down the
majority of people so much they will believe the lies of the
propagandists.
Psychologist Randie L. Timpe affirms this revolt against a belief in
objective reality and accurate cognition of that reality when he says
"Our constructions of human nature and God are based on a philosophy
of constructive alternativism where the individual is free to
formulate new and alternative explanations."
Transformational Marxism and its dialectic is a method for dumbing
down the population so they do not have the cognitive ability any more
to discern that the "facilitators" are telling lies.
And those who have been dumbed down since some of the Baby Boomers
became hippies and followers of the drug movement will ridicule this
explanation including that of Dean Gotcher and refuse to try to
understand what has happened to them. Many don't have the cognitive
ability to read and comprehend anything beyond a grade school level,
though most have high school degrees.
Dean Gotcher has many audios and writings on the Internet. Google
