America's Cultural Revolution: How the Radical Left Conquered Everything

Product Information

Journalistic standards mean that the Vox must dance around as to Rufo’s habit of exaggeration and factual missteps. My standard of “emotional Goodreads reviewer” holds him to be an outright liar. Rufo additionally emphasizes that educational theory was the key focus of the radicals-become-academics. This included both post-secondary and K-12.

Rufo’s sourcing for present day examples of the dominance of Critical Race Theory is also poor. He often relies on his own articles, which may or may not provide the material he’s basing his screeds on. On one occasion his source is a congressional candidate writing an opinion piece in the Federalist. Steve Sailer opened a recent article entitled “America’s Untouchables” with the words “In this decade, America’s most effective conservative activist has likely been Chris Rufo…” That encouraged reading Rufo’s book.and... ...that’s fine. I don’t have a problem with an approach that is “Here’s what this guy said, and here are a bunch of guys that said that first guy was a dork.” I don’t even mind if you slant things towards your position – you’re allowed to have an opinion! There’s plenty of academic informed criticism of the 1619 Project and other elements that could be described as part of, or at least adjacent to, Critical Race Theory. Chris Rufo is at the forefront of exposing critical race theory, DEI, and the radical Left’s agenda to undermine traditional American values. His new book, “ America’s Cultural Revolution: How the Radical Left Conquered Everything,” is a history of the Left’s key figures and its playbook for infiltrating America’s institutions and indoctrinating our children.

But the second one is more serious. Mr Rufo often cannot help but portray the left’s revolution as on the cusp of total victory, if not already there. “The corporation no longer exists to maximise profit, but to manage ‘ diversity and inclusion’. The state no longer exists to secure natural rights, but to achieve ‘social justice’,” he writes. I am an absolute kind of diehard advocate for school choice. I’ve worked closely with legislators and activists like Corey DeAngelis and The Heritage Foundation team and political leaders to get school choice into the law books. In state after state, we’re seeing massive traction there for the first time. So I see my fight against CRT as really contributing and I try to channel that energy into the legislative fight for school choice.Regardless of why Marcuse caught fire, the thought of Marcuse, of various disciples, and of others, was all thrown into a cauldron to cook up a noxious stew. The result was several years of Left extreme violence, thousands of bombings, and scores of murders, in service of the idea that killing would immediately bring on the revolution. The memory of this violence has been wholly suppressed, and those who led it, such as the Weathermen Bernardine Dohrn and Bill Ayers, along with Angela Davis (the second of the four figures Rufo specifically profiles), richly rewarded instead of being punished. Yet the revolution failed to arrive, and as always with propaganda of the deed, the perpetrators In addition to the book, you are also a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute and working on a critical race theory project. What’s next on your horizon? What can we expect from you in the future? The capture of Corporate America is only slightly more complex and occurred in large part through DEI programs. Rufo presents statistics regarding the explosion in critical theory jargon in NYT articles after the Great Financial Crisis. This he attributes to layoffs followed by hiring new graduates thoroughly indoctrinated into the critical theories now generally accepted by universities. Beyond ideological sympathies, Rufo explains how corporations have come to see alignment with critical theory as necessary to the bottom line. For instance, Rufo argues that it is treated as "protection money," or the cost of doing business and avoiding coming in the crosshairs of social justice activism.
