Father Of “Moderate” Pete Buttigieg Was Marxist Professor At Notre Dame University

Pete Buttigieg has managed to convince Democrats he’s the “moderate” choice, in a crowded field of Democrat presidential candidates. Just how “moderate” is the only child of Joseph Buttigieg, a Marxist professor at Notre Dame University who died only days before he announced his bid to become a Democrat presidential candidate?

The Washington Examiner reports – The 71-year-old father of only child Pete Buttigieg was a Marxist professor who spoke fondly of the Communist Manifesto and dedicated a significant portion of his academic career to the work of Italian Communist Party founder Antonio Gramsci, an associate of Vladimir Lenin.

Joseph Buttigieg immigrated to the U.S. in the 1970s from Malta and in 1980 joined the University of Notre Dame faculty, where he taught modern European literature and literary theory. He supported an updated version of Marxism that jettisoned some of Marx and Engel’s more doctrinaire theories, though he was undoubtedly Marxist.

He was an adviser to Rethinking Marxism, an academic journal that published articles “that seek to discuss, elaborate, and/or extend Marxian theory,” and a member of the editorial collective of Boundary 2, a journal of postmodern theory, literature, and culture. He spoke at many Rethinking Marxism conferences and other gatherings of prominent Marxists.
