Cultural Marxism

From Metapedia
Cultural Marxism or Cultural Bolshevism (degenerate culture) seeks to destroy everything good about a society, what holds it together, what helps it to advance, what promotes intelligence and beauty. It seeks to degenerate society and take it to a lower form where people are less intelligent and more animal. It's based on the Marixst lie that everything good about society is all a form of oppression. Every time anyone promotes cultural marxism, they use the same line claiming it is about freeing people from oppression. These common cultural marxist themes all are promoted by the same lie that they are done in the name of freedom: liberalism, sexual perversion, degenerate art, degenerate music, mass immigration, anti-intelligence and promotion of people acting like animals, corrupted versions of feminism, multiculturalism, marijuana, oppressing people of european-ancestry, and destroying nationalism, and destroying non-jewish-religion. The lie of freedom from oppression that Cultural Marxism uses is the same lie Communism and the Soviet Empire used. The real purpose for this destruction is so exactly like the Soviet Empire, the only form of culture becomes a totalitarian 1984esque government ruling the people, a government entirely of jews ruling over the gentiles, a government that murders hundreds of millions of gentiles as they did in The Red Holocaust.

Cultural Marxism explained quickly.

Cultural Marxism is largely a synthesis of Marx and Freud . It is Marxism as applied in the cultural sphere and the analysis and control of the media, art, theatre, film and other cultural institutions in society, often with an emphasis on class, race and gender. As a form of political analysis, Cultural Marxism gained strength in the 1920s, and was the model used by a group of intellectuals in Germany known as the Frankfurt School; and later by another group of intellectuals at the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies in Birmingham, England. The fields of Cultural Studies and Critical theory are rooted in and influenced by work of Cultural Marxism. Cultural Marxism is formulated as a way to subvert European nations and civilization using methods other than direct political action. William S. Lind, Patrick J. Buchanan and others state that Cultural Marxists seek to control society by manipulating language, media, and academia by way of political correctness by employing the Frankfurt School's "Critical theory." Europhobia and demographic genocide are a major focus of Cultural Marxism.

Background
The Frankfurt School is shorthand for the members and allies of the Institute for Social Research of the University of Frankfurt. In the 1930s the Frankfurt School was forced out of Germany by the rise of the National Socialist Party and moved to New York. After 1945 a number of these surviving Marxists returned to both West and East Germany. Theodor W. Adorno and Max Horkheimer were responsible for the hibernation of cultural Marxism throughout the early years of the Cold War. A revived interest in Marxism in West Germany in the late 1950s and early 1960s produced a new generation of Marxists engaging with the cultural transformations taking place under Fordist capitalism. One of the most prominent of these Western Marxists has been the German philosopher Wolfgang Fritz Haug. According to UCLA professor Douglas Kellner, "Many 20th century Marxian theorists ranging from Georg Lukacs, Amadeo Gramsci, Ernst Bloch, Walter Benjamin, and T.W. Adorno to Fredric Jameson and Terry Eagleton employed the Marxian theory to analyze cultural forms in relation to their production, their imbrications with society and history, and their impact and influences on audiences and social life." The Frankfurt School also influenced scholars such as Max Horkheimer, Wilhelm Reich, Erich Fromm and Herbert Marcuse. [1] [2] Kellner explains: Cultural Marxism was highly influential throughout Europe and the Western world, especially in the 1960s when Marxian thought was at its most prestigious and procreative. Theorists like Roland Barthes and the Tel Quel group in France, Galvano Della Volpe, Lucio Colletti, and others in Italy, Fredric Jameson, Terry Eagleton, and cohort of 1960s cultural radicals in the English-speaking world, and a large number of theorists throughout the globe used cultural Marxism to develop modes of cultural studies that analyzed the production, interpretation, and reception of cultural artifacts within concrete socio-historical conditions that had contested political and ideological effects and uses. One of the most famous and influential forms of cultural studies, initially under the influence of cultural Marxism, emerged within the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies in Birmingham, England within a group often referred to as the Birmingham School.[3]

Critique of Cultural Marxism

Marcuse, in his 1954 book Eros and Civilization, argued for a politics based on the strive towards pleasure. This striving for pleasure would unite individualism, hedonism and absolute egalitarianism, because each individual would equally be able to determine their own needs and desires; thus everyone would be able to satisfy their true desires. Marcuse argues that the moral and cultural relativism of contemporary Western society impedes this egalitarian politics, because it provides no way of distinguishing between an individual's true needs, and false needs manufactured by capitalism. Paul Eidelbergh, however, argues that Marcuse himself is a relativist or "nihilist", because Marcuse rejects any transcendent law or morality, and believes that all desires are morally equal. Eidelberg goes on to argue that Marcuse's nihilism leads him to call for a politicized, explicitly left-wing, academy.[4] After World War II, conservatives remained suspicious of socialism and what was called "social engineering," and some argued that Cultural Marxists and the Frankfurt School helped spark the radical left social movements of the 1960s as part of a continuing plan of transferring Marxist subversion into cultural terms in the form of Freudo-Marxism.[5] Paul Gottfried in his book, The Strange Death of Marxism, states Marxism survived and evolved since the fall of the Soviet Union in the form of Cultural Marxism: Neomarxists called themselves Marxists without accepting all of Marxs historical and economic theories but while upholding socialism against capitalism, as a moral position . Thereafter socialists would build their conceptual fabrics on Marxs notion of alienation, extracted from his writings of the 1840s . [they] could

therefore dispense with a strictly materialist analysis and shift focus toward religion, morality, and aesthetics. ... Is the critical observation about the Frankfurt School therefore correct, that it exemplifies cultural Bolshevism, which pushes Marxist-Leninist revolution under a sociological-Freudian label? To the extent its practitioners and despisers would both answer to this characterization, it may in fact be valid but if Marxism under the Frankfurt School has undergone [these] alterations, then there may be little Marxism left in it. The appeal of the Critical Theorists to Marx has become increasingly ritualistic and what there is in the theory of Marxist sources is now intermingled with identifiably non-Marxist ones . In a nutshell, they had moved beyond Marxism into a militantly antibourgeois stance that operates independently of Marxist economic assumptions.[6]
