Your "source" provided almost ZERO proof of anything marxist. Except maybe this: "comments point to the Trotskyist concept of entryism, in which individuals join an organization with a defined ideological aim and work to change it from within. " which sounds exactly like the way maga is trying to change the election system, and the entire federal government from democracy to fascism.

"Authoritarianism rarely begins with a coup. It starts quietly, in the meetings of local boards and councils that most citizens overlook.

In the United States, the far-right movement aligned with Donald Trump has spent years burrowing into small institutions like school boards, library commissions, election offices, and county governments to undermine democratic norms from the ground up.

The strategy is deliberate, drawing on the same gradualist playbook that defined the early stages of other authoritarian movements across history, to delegitimize expertise, discredit neutral institutions, and replace procedural fairness with ideological loyalty.

Across the country, school board meetings once devoted to textbook purchases or safety protocols have turned into spectacles of political rage. Organized networks like Moms for Liberty and various "parents' rights" groups, many with documented ties to conservative think tanks and dark-money donors, have weaponized local governance by flooding meetings with misinformation about race, gender, and public health.

Their goal is not to improve education but to remake it in the image of partisan grievance. In some states, coordinated campaigns have succeeded in banning books, silencing teachers, and forcing resignations of experienced administrators. These disruptions weaken communities' ability to trust their institutions, creating the very cynicism that anti-democratic movements depend on.

Election offices have also become prime targets. Since 2020, Trump-aligned activists have attempted to seize control of county clerk positions and local election boards, often under the banner of "election integrity."

I guess maga is marxist then right?

Imo, if people listened to the William Sascha Riley interviews they might be more motivated against these child predators in elected office.

Lindsey Graham, Andy Biggs, Jim Jordan, Clarence Thomas are all named at some point.

The GOP is a cover.

An example of that would be nice.

Why not wait until they take over the country, would that be a good enough example?

WASHINGTON (TNND) " With the November midterms just months away, the Democratic Socialists of America just released a new platform calling for structural changes to the U.S. government and expanded socialist economic policies.

The platform, called "Workers Deserve More," focuses on shifting structural political and economic power away from corporations and into the hands of the working class. The DSA released the platform Tuesday, and includes extending full voting rights to people with criminal convictions and noncitizens, replacing the Electoral College with a national popular vote for president, and replacing the two-party system with a multi-party democracy. It also calls for expanding the House and abolishing the Senate.

Co-Chair of the DSA, Ashik Siddique, told C-SPAN this week, "We just don't see the point of the Senate. Historically, it was meant to serve very wealthy people who owned a lot of land and that's still a system that we have today and it's something we would change."

The DSA is taking over the left wing of the Democrat party.

Of course the "communism" comment is about democrats. And it's BS.

idk ... a growing portion of Democrat voters are DSA aligned ....
