how a new Cold War drives the progressives' agenda

"In this book author William Reeves takes a close look at the history of Marxism. It examines the evolution of socialism, how it was refined over the course of several decades by neo-Marxists from an economic theory to a social science to a political and cultural path to power. It highlights how today's progressives have used Cultural Marxism to construct a political platform. Learn more about how the tenants of Marxism have been rebranded as progressivism. Discover what this ideology means for the future of our country and how this movement is used by those in the arts, the media and academia to negatively influence what Americans can and should believe about our nation. By discussing both the history of Marxism and how it is being applied by the leftist political movement in an effort to win the hearts and minds of Americans, the author aims to develop counter measures to expose it"--, adapted from back cover
