In [Pete Buttigieg’s] dad’s many enthusiastic writings on Gramsci and Marxism, he repeatedly and specifically mentions his son Pete as a tremendous help in his writings. To the point that ‘he couldn’t have done it without him’.

Pete Buttigieg is going nowhere. But were Antonio Gramsci to survey today’s America, Buttigieg’s campaign would give him reason to be hopeful. …
Thanks to our dumbed-down, politically correct educational system, more and more Americans are susceptible to identifying religion, economics, and morality in the way our corrupt ruling class embodies them.

…On Sept. 16, 1989, Boris Yeltsin was a newly elected member of the Soviet Parliament visiting the United States. Following a scheduled visit to Johnson Space Center, Yeltsin and a small entourage made an unscheduled stop at a Randalls grocery store in Clear Lake, a suburb of Houston.
