Easy to answer that one, I think.

When we allowed the radical politics of the Women's Movement to get a foothold on the national stage we left the door open for Socialism.

When we allowed the radical politics of the Civil Rights Movement to get a foothold on the national stage we left the door open for Communism.

Socialism means that somebody else provides.  The Nanny State.  Communism means everybody is the same.  Somebody else decides for everybody else.

Don't get me wrong, some of the philosophy of these movements is good, i.e., equal rights regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, religious beliefs, etc., but the more radical elements of the "cures" established by these movements are in many cases worse than the original disease.

One of them is the idea that religious equality in spite of religious belief means no religion at all.  The theory is that it's the only fair way to do it.

Another is that everything that came before the movement is bad, i.e., Christian values, and more over, the Christian values of white people, are bad.  Anything else is better and more important.
