Today Jeffrey Ludwig wrote a fine article at American Thinker called "The Goal of the Democratic Party: Overthrow of 'The System.'"   http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2017/08/the_goal_of_the_democratic_party_overthrow_of_the_system.html

In it, Mr. Ludwig cuts to the chase and states that the Democratic Party has evolved "to being neo-Marxist, neo-fascist, and subversive of too many established social, political, and economic norms began in the 1960s.  Conceptual and practical shifts, especially in the philosophy of education, merged with other developments both in the anti-Vietnam War movement and in the burgeoning drug culture."

To back up his argument, Ludwig cites influence of the writings of 60s liberal educator Jonothan Kozol and gestalt psychiatrist Fritz Perls on American thought. The mention of Fritz Perls has the effect on me as the menition of "Niagara Falls" in the old vaudville comedy routine "Slowly I Turned." http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=slowly+i+turned+inch+by+inch&view=detail&mid=8AE890868EDF32553FA08AE890868EDF32553FA0&FORM=VIRE ; Only, in the case of Fritz Perls, my anger is much more grim and historical than was the anger in the fictional vaudville comedy routine. Let me explain with some facts that I posted as a comment to this article.

Fritz Perls. Now you are getting to one of the most shocking stories I discovered decades ago. Fritz Perls, a Jew, a psychiatrist and a former WWI German Army officer, later went to go live in apartheid South Africa before and during WWII. While millions of people died, including his personal relatives, Perls did NOT offer his services to, for example, British Intelligence as young immigrant Henry Kissinger did to U.S. Army Intelligence. As a fluent German speaker and reader, and knowledgeable of German military methods and terminology, Perls could have participated in helping to defeat the Nazis. But he didn't. After WWII, he immigrated to California and became the darling of the New Age trendsetters out there and got to pontificate on how people should face reality (as he defined it) and act in this world.
