Cultural Marxism: Difference between revisions

[[Cultural Marxism]] is a branch of Marxist ideology originally formulated by the Bavarian German Secret societies, that found an audience at the Frankfurt School in Germany, which had its origins the early part of the twentieth century. Cultural Marxism comprises much of the foundation of [[Critical Theory]] which formed into current times as [[Political Correctness]]. At its worst, political correctness is nothing different form Orwell's Newspeak, an attempt to change the way people think by forcibly changing the way they speak. This ideology emerged as a response of European Marxist intellectuals disillusioned by the early political failures of conventional economic Marxist ideology.

The central idea of Cultural Marxism is to soften up and prepare Western Civilization for economic Marxism or leanings towards socialism after a gradual, relentless, sustained attack on classifications of groups, as well as every institution of Western culture, including schools, literature, art, film, the Judeo-Christian religious tradition, the family, sexual mores, national sovereignty, etc. The community organized attacks are usually framed in Marxist terms as a class struggle between oppressors and oppressed; the members of the latter class allegedly include women, minorities, homosexuals, and adherents of non-Western ideologies such as Islam. Cultural Marxism has been described as "the cultural branch of globalism."
