Anyone who has been paying attention realizes that the Left, which itself is an arm of globalist oligarchs who seek totalitarian rule over the American people, successfully realized a long march through the institutions and dominates most institutions of importance in our society, from the public schools and universities to the mainstream media and entertainment industries to the federal bureaucracy.
Of course, this is speaking in generalities. There are exceptions when you break things down at the local level; public schools, which are usually run by locally elected boards, may be more conservative and sane in red areas.
But these exceptions notwithstanding, it is clear that the Left is largely in control. Even where conservatives ostensibly control the public schools, for instance, there are Marxist teachers unions doing all they can to introduce leftist propaganda and pornography into classrooms.
Amid all this, there is some hope. The Left, having gone too far with programs like critical race theory and trans indoctrination, finally managed to push many parents too far, triggering the pendulum swing of social change to go against them. Just as the Reformation provoked the Counter-Reformation, the leftist convergence of society has prompted a pushback, providing the momentum by which conservatives, Christians, and constitutionalists can retake the culture.
The question now becomes: What strategy should the Right adopt to fully turn the tide of the culture back to the traditionalist principles under which the nation originally flourished?
The answer is that the Right should pursue a two-pronged approach to the culture war: Building parallel institutions, without relenting in its efforts to reclaim those that have been lost.
If we wish to compare the current culture war in America to a famous kinetic military conflict from history, an apt comparison would be to the Spanish Reconquista, in which the ethnically European, Christian forces gradually drove out the Muslim, North African Moors, who ruled much of the Iberian Peninsula for 800 years.
Just as the Reconquista involved the simultaneous processes of consolidating and strengthening one’s possessions on one hand and then pushing to conquer additional territories on the other, so the Right, in the culture war, must not be content to merely cling to its possessions. The movement must continue to push and expand until it has totally eliminated leftist influence in every aspect of society; only then can we truly declare victory.
Again, the Right must both cultivate its own institutions and fight to retake those the Left now controls. Keeping the comparison to the Spanish Reconquista in mind, there is important logic behind this twofold strategy.
The Left essentially drove the Right out of power from most of the important institutions in society. This put the Right into an incredibly weak position, with little ability to project power or influence, leading to the state of affairs we have witnessed for generations now — our people, particularly our children, being extensively groomed by leftists from all sides.
It’s not surprising that, given the unchecked power of the Left, the culture has spiraled into leftism, degeneracy, and secularism so rapidly.
In political warfare, you can’t achieve anything if you don’t have centers of power from which to project influence onto society at large. Schools, police corps, unions, civic organizations, companies, political parties, clubs, homeowners associations — all of these, by virtue of their money, membership numbers, legal authority, or other manifestations of power, are able to influence their communities.
If the Right does not have control over any of the major institutions in a community, then the only available option is to build new ones — new centers of power that provide the Right with influence.
This is something The John Birch Society and The New American magazine have successfully been doing for years now.
The mainstream media is converged by the Marxists? The New American gets around this by spreading truth via its print magazine, website, and videos.
Local Republican clubs are converged by globalist chamber-of-commerce types? The John Birch Society creates its own local armies of constitutionalist activists through regular meetings and training.
The big publishing houses have been corrupted by the Left? The John Birch Society has rolled out its own publishing company, Western Islands, to print quality, truthful books and distribute them without depending on establishment infrastructure.
The Right must continue to develop its own parallel institutions in this way, making everything — from its own social-media companies, to schools and homeschooling programs, to entertainment companies and trade associations. Doing so not only empowers the Right with a voice with which to influence society, but also takes power away from the Left.
However, one does not win a war by merely holding and fortifying one’s position, but by advancing and conquering additional ground. Thus, the Right must not relinquish those institutions which have already been claimed by the Left. Instead, the Right must strive to take them back — because so long as they remain under leftist control, they will continue to afford the Left a powerful means with which to continue influencing society. This influence must be stamped out completely.
One example of this would be the schools. While the focus should be on getting kids out of government schools, it is still worthwhile for conservatives to make as much progress as possible in liberating the schools from leftist rule, for there will always be people who will choose to enroll their children in these schools. And so long as they do, that gives the Left power to indoctrinate.
Those who are indoctrinated make decisions that affect us and our children, even if we homeschooled our own kids.
In conclusion, we should cede no ground in the culture war, but advance until we have claimed the entire board.
