  1. "'Cultural Marxism' is one of the far right’s favorite buzzwords – but what does this term mean and where did it come from? This book uncovers the bizarre story of the cult leaders, right-wing intellectuals, and neo-Nazi terrorists who believe that ‘Cultural Marxists’ are conspiring to trigger the demise of modern civilization. In this deeply researched account, Woods explains how the ‘Frankfurt School’ group of German thinkers were recast as the orchestrators of a plot to destroy the West. Instead of simply ‘debunking’ this conspiracy theory, Woods offers a sharp analysis and critique of the political movements who have advanced this damaging idea. Only when we identify the specific practices and agendas of those who promote the 'Cultural Marxism' conspiracy theory can we hope to neutralize its repressive and often fatal consequences. This is an essential book for anyone who wants to understand the ideological currents that are shaping right-wing politics in the 21st century."

  2. ”Cultural Marxism” - an idea frequently cited by MAGA conservatives today - is simply repurposing an old idea developed by the Nazi party of old.

    They called it: ”Cultural Bolshevism”.

    Same shit in a new shiny package.

  3. Cultural Marxism generally refers to one of two things:

    First — extremely rarely in popular discourse — "cultural Marxism" (lower C, upper M) refers to a strain of critique of popular culture by the Frankfurt School, framing such culture as being imposed by a capitalist culture industry and consumed passively by the masses.

    Second — in common usage in the wild — "Cultural Marxism" (both uppercase) is a common snarl word used to paint anyone with progressive tendencies as a secret Communist. The term alludes to a #conspiracy theory in which sinister left-wingers have infiltrated media, academia, and science, and are engaged in a decades-long plot to undermine Western culture. Some variants of the conspiracy allege that basically all of modern social liberalism is, in fact, a communist front group.

  4. CW: Mention of nazis

    Reminder:

    People worried about "woke" are literally Nazis.

    The way they use this word has nothing to do with its origins.

    It's just the newest form of "cultural marxism" aka "cultural bolshevism", a nonsense word the original Nazis made up to vaguely blackball anything they disliked.

    A nebulous term of derision, with no actual semantic content except "We Nazis hate those".

  11. Late addition, but I just noticed that #MiriamCates (also of the CSG) actually went there and dropped in a reference to "#CulturalMarxism". She knows perfectly well what it means.

    She was condemned in pretty strong terms by #JohnMann, the Tories' "antisemitism tsar", who directly called it antisemitism:
    jewishnews.co.uk/tory-mp-conde

    Will she face any consequences? Of course not. And will he resign, when the whole reason he left Labour was the party's tolerance of antisemitism? We'll see.

  12. As the torys slide ever further into sleaze, corruption and incompetence, all they seem to have now as any kind of answer when questioned on just about anything is deflection with a rather large portion of bitchiness thrown in.

  13. #CulturalMarxism is a particularly vicious conspiracy theory because it “lets its authors avoid #racist discourses and pretend to be defenders of #democracy.”

    “In #Lind, #Buchanan and #Breivik, overt racism is studiously avoided.”
    This is precisely what #Elmo is doing.

    William Lind also provided #MikeFlynn with a blueprint for destroying America from the inside out.
