Interesting - apples and trees

There is a saying that the apple does not fall far from the tree. Children will be greatly shaped by their parents.

Here is an interesting example - Mayor Pete. From the Infogalactic entry for Pete Buttigieg:

Buttigieg was born in South Bend, Indiana, the only child of Joseph Buttigieg and Jennifer Anne (Montgomery) Buttigieg.

Father was a University professor for 29 years. He is also the president of the International Gramsci Society

Gramsci was one of the worst people to have been born - from The Stream:

The Most Dangerous Socialist in History
As a matter of principle, Marxists aren’t troubled by scruples. They will kill, steal, lie, railroad the innocent — whatever it takes to advance the Revolution. Marx himself never shied away from what his program entailed. “When our turn comes,” he wrote in 1849, “we shall not make excuses for the terror.” The actions of his apostles, ranging from Lenin to Stalin, Che Guevara, Mao, and Pol Pot, to the Castro brothers, prove just how “principled” Marxists are willing to be, even if it means gulags, “reeducation” camps, or simple murder.

In the long-term, however, it may well be that the most effective of Marxists was an Italian philosopher, journalist and Communist official who spent the last 11 years of his life in Mussolini’s prisons. Unlike some other Communists of his generation, Antonio Gramsci had no blood on his hands. He signed no execution orders. He was even considered somewhat of a heretic by more mainstream Marxists of his time. Gramsci’s ideas, however, help explain why so many of the West’s cultural institutions today are rotten with leftist ideas and rhetoric.

More here, here and here - sobering. I could only imagine what Mayor Pete would have come up with once he was elected. Glad that this is not happening.
