INSIGHT

Class Struggle Is The Recurring Marxist Fingerprint

  • He argues institutions like the UN, WEF, and EU propagate this framing as modern globalism.
INSIGHT

Globalism Functions As Repackaged Marxism

  • Connor reframes globalism as Marxism repackaged: wealthy globalists and elites may champion open borders and international institutions while still seeking centralized control.
  • He cites George Soros and Fabian links as examples of rich actors buying into revolutionary narratives.
ANECDOTE

Communists Targeted Education From The Start

  • Connor recounts the Communist Manifesto's 10th plank pushing free public education and Fabian tactics to capture schools.
