The Russian Revolution demonstrates how the Bolsheviks - a dedicated minority of the population, although the majority faction of the Russian Social Democratic Party - can tyrannise and subdue a much larger populace.
So Wokeism - cultural Marxism allied with cultural theory - which was a minority academic theory 30 years ago, has spread to infect almost all of our Western institutions. Wokeshevism is the most politically virulent form of the disease.
The first step to curing our institutions is to be able to detect the signs and the causes of this intellectual pandemic.
