The handlers of the Marxist Left have decided to try to lead the Left to discredit the populist-patriot movement that became evident in the 2016 presidential election - by making salient or outstanding in the public's perception that this populist-patriot movement is just like the Ku Klux Klan. The Left's obsession with removing Confederate statutes is part of this effort to discredit the populist-patriot movement by associating it with the KKK mentality.
The fact is, that in the 2016 campaign and afterward to the present time, that populist-patriot movement has not been violent, although some instances of violence has been initiated by the Marxist Left at rallies. The KKK has some history of being violent in the time before most of the Marxist Left young people were born.
And remember that the KKK has claimed to be Christian, though their ideology and actions do not show they are Christian.
But still to those who have only one or two categories of perception operating, here is another point the contemporary American young Marxists are trying to make, that Christians are prejudiced - just like the Frankfurt School propagandized about so long, and are also violent. Theodor Wiesengrund Adorno of the Frankfurt School taught that Christianity and the family are the cause of fascism, and this idea is implicit in his book, The Authoritarian Personality of 1950, which is about the potentially fascist personality. Marxism is just as totalitarian as fascism.
A defense of this plan to associate in the public awareness a KKK type mentality with the current populist-patriot movement on a Christian forum should be looked at critically. This is mainly because Marxism is basically anti-Christian. The Frankfurt School Marxism has been deceptive in not acknowledging it is Marxist.
The KKK was active to some extent in the sixties, but since then, which has been about 55 years, the Clan has not been very active.
The first dialectic program of the Frankfurt School was to discredit Nazi Fascism by upholding Transformational Marxism without ever using the term Marxism. The American Left has long associated the KKK with Fascism. Now that Transformational Marxist dialectic has moved on to try and associate Confederate statues with Fascism and Racism.
