It is. In his amazing biography of Pope John Paul II, Witness to Hope author George Weigel went into the Soviet and Polish archives. These forces were in play, in Poland, from 1946 onward. Make it to where BOTH parents have to work, and at different times meaning there's no family time; put the kids in school, and they'll never see one parent for long periods. Put them in summer camps, sexualize them, promote abortion, and before long, there nuclear family is no longer the norm, or the "authority" but instead, the State becomes the substitute.

Then, you have subservient little Statists who turn into subservient apparatchiks who value so little but whatever the State tells them to value.

Western society has followed suit, but instead of forcing it down their throats like the Communists, it's been one little "movement" after another, including feminism, no-fault divorce, "empowerment" "Having it all," and we've embraced all those things that the Eastern Europeans took sixty years to throw off. Western society is behind this curve, right now, and we are just now, really, feeling the effects so badly.

It actually began simultaneously with Antonio Gramsci in Italy and the Frankfurt School in the Weimar Republic. The Soviet or better yet, the KGB, were actually late to the game. The subversion of the West by communists and marxists began well before the Soviets got involved.

This garbage is one of the primary reasons why the Germans went reactionary and went so far to the right. They had been fighting communists since the moment WWI ended. The shear amount of degeneracy in the Weimar Republic being pushed by the communists in 1920s Germany was even more extensive than what we see now in large part because the Germans were starving as a result of the Treaty of Versaille that ended WWI whereas we don't have that problem. In otherwords, people were willing to do anything to provide food for their families and many of these communists and marxists were more than willing to use these desperate people for their own ends.
