  1. Many forget that the US was founded by English Dissenters, which later become the left wing of politics. The Plymouth Colony in Plymouth, Massachusetts, was founded by Brownists, though they are called "Puritans." Many other dissenter groups came as well. "The Brownists were a group of English Dissenters or early Separatists from the Church of England. They were named after Robert Browne, who was born at Tolethorpe Hall in Rutland, England, in the 1550s. A majority of the Separatists aboard the Mayflower in 1620 were Brownists, and indeed the Pilgrims were known into the 20th century as the Brownist Emigration." That was why the New England states, and New York state, in particular, were always left-leaning to the point of radicalization. Those in Massachusetts ended up forming Christian Socialism by the late 1800s, with the Church of the Carpenter (Episcopalian or US Anglican), which moved to NYC as a base of operations. "The Church of the Carpenter was a mission of the Episcopal Church associated with the Society of Christian Socialists (SCS) in Boston. Its congregation was known as the Brotherhood of the Carpenter. Founded in 1890 by the Reverend W. D. P. Bliss." "On Sunday, April 13, 1890, the Reverend Bliss held the first service of the Church of the Carpenter in Brunswick Hall, 241 Tremont Street, Boston. Bliss explained his intent to the audience that crowded the hall: "We are not here to commence a revolution. We are here simply, quietly, humbly to consider the application to social problems of the old gospel of the carpenter who lived in Nazareth... "Change is everywhere. Christendom today is heaving with a divine unrest, as she has not moved since the days that preceded the Protestant reformation. Tolstoi in Russia, Stuart Headlam in London, Dr. McGlynn in New York City, voices in the Greek, the Anglican, the Roman Catholic communion, all speak of change, and they all move in one direction, the application of Christianity to social life... "The church of the carpenter is the church of the Son of Man. It is the church of humanity. It means sacrifice, the sacrifice of the individual, the sacrifice of self for the good of all. This is Christian socialism....we must work through the State and better the conditions of men as well as work through individuals." "The Church of the Carpenter was not a new denomination or sect, but a mission of the Episcopal Church under Bishop Brooks. It was incorporated as a parish of the Diocese of Boston, with Bliss as rector, on June 5, 1892." There was also a Karl Marx School in Boston before the move to NYC. The Episcopalians, who operate Columbia U, are why socialism invaded higher education, which spread from there. Before Columbia, they had started a social science school (Rand) where Trotsky lectured before leaving on a steamer to join Lenin in Saint Petersburg in 1917. "Throughout its history, the main activity of the SCS was centered in Boston. A New York branch was established in February 1890, and state societies were formed in Ohio, based in Cincinnati, and Illinois, based in Chicago, in May of that year. Kansas followed with a state Christian Socialist Society based in Independence, Kansas, by August." Also, there came the Mennonites and Amish, as well as other utopian communal groups from Europe. Is it any wonder that the CPUSA found NYC as its home once it was formed? This was why Dewey and the Episcopalian theology professors at Columbia U opened up their arms to the arrival of the Frankfurt School professors. This is what mixing cultures and their beliefs, or "diversity," results in.
