Antonio Gramsci, a young communist who died in one of Mussolini's prisons in 1937 at the age of 46, conjured up the notion of a 'quiet' revolution that could be diffused throughout a culture -- over a period of time -- to destroy it from within. He was the first to suggest that the application of psychology to break the traditions, beliefs, morals, and will of a people could be accomplished quietly and without the possibility of resistance. He deduced that "The civilized world had been thoroughly saturated with Christianity for 2,000 years..." and a culture based on this religion could only be captured from within.
One of the basic tenets of Critical Theory was the necessity to break down the contemporary family. The (Frankfurt) Institute scholars preached that [21] "...Even a partial breakdown of parental authority in the family might tend to increase the readiness of a coming generation to accept social change."
As they proclaim, this means their activities have been directed toward the disintegration of the traditional white male power structure. As anyone with eyes to view present-day television and motion pictures can confirm, this has been largely achieved.
Gramsci insisted that alliances with non-Communist leftist groups would be essential to Communist victory. In our time, these would include radical feminist groups, extremist environmental organizations, so-called civil rights movements, anti-police associations, internationalist-minded groups, liberal church denominations, and others. Working together, these groups could create a united front working for the destructive transformation of the old Judeo-Christian culture of the West.
"...there is one thing we can say with complete assurance. The traditional idea of revolution and the traditional strategy of revolution have ended. These ideas are old-fashioned"
Most Americans do not yet realize that they are being led by social revolutionaries who think in terms of the destruction of the existing social order in order to create a new social order in the world. These revolutionaries are the New Age elite Boomers, the New Totalitarians [24]. They now control every public institution in the United States of America.

A well thought out post I must say.

Communism collapsed over two decades ago - even China introduced free market reforms a decade before the Soviet Union collapsed.

Feminism? I don't even know where to begin with that point... I don't think Marx ever encouraged the burning of bras.

Some far-left and marxist belief-systems, especially the perpeatrator-victim model ("I am not responsibile for my reality, I am a victim"), the entitlement model ("I deserve to get stuff for free!!!!") have already taken over large parts of mainstream thought.
Unfortuntely we embrace some of it without even realizing it. "Filesharing" under the motto "Sharing is Caring" is embraced by 80% of the youth, they grow up thinking nothing of it. You try to question it in these Forums and you will get hoards of enraged people shouting at you defending their "civil right" to disregard legal property.

With the election of Obama, I honestly feel the international left are aspiring for the United States to bring a European style Social Democracy.
