Rousseau and the Collapse of American Constitutionalism

by Stephen B. Young American Thinker

Who is the mastermind behind the Democratic Party’s unhinged efforts to impose an elitist ideology on the American people?

Hint: it is not Barack Obama.

Try Jean-Jacques Rousseau, that’s who.

A “Dead White European Male,” Rousseau was born in 1712 in Geneva and died in 1778 in France.

In his 1762 proposal for making a Heaven here on Earth — The Social Contract — Rousseau designed the template for what would become what the scholar J.L. Talmon called “Democratic Totalitarianism.” Rousseau was followed by the socialists — international (Communists) and national (Fascists) — and then by the postmodernists.
