Cultural Marxism Explained In 7 Minutes
Submitted by Joseph Salerno via The Mises Institute,
This is an excellent short video explaining the source and nature of Cultural Marxist movements like political correctness, modern feminism, pansexualism, multiculturalism, "whiteness studies," etc.
For an in-depth critique of the thinkers whose writings shaped Cultural Marxism, see Fools, Frauds and Firebrands: Thinkers of the New Left by the eminent British philosopher Roger Scruton. Scruton brilliantly exposes the pretensions, obscurities, and inanities of Sartre, Foucault, Galbraith, Marcuse, Lukacs, Habermas, Adorno, Rawls, Dworkin and others of their ilk.
The book is not just a philosophical tract but a work in critical political economy and contains one of the most penetrating discussions of the Marxist labor theory of value that I have ever read.

It's funny: socialism and capitalism have exactly the same problem. They're both outgrowths of industrialism, and you can't have industrialism without gross inequality. A very few have to own the means of production, and the rest have to be a little bit dispossesed. Why? Because industrialism is dependant on millions of jobs that nobody wold do if they had a choice.
VERY interesting....it also seems silly to create systems dependent on infinite growth, that are contained within a finite environment. Unless someone invents warp drive and we can mine the stars as easily as we drill for offshore oil deposits, then I think we should be focusing on trying not to shit where we sleep
It's good to see true leftists who have no idea of history. The Noble Redman crushed by racist Whitey.
Or, a stone age people met with pressure to modernize or expire. I guess the USA is/was the first time an obsolete culture was replaced by a more modern one, unlike Islam that replaced cultures with a total system stuck in the 9th century. So, how come I don't ever see these same people decrying what happened to the Celts, Tuscans, Magyars, et al? Its always America as if the phenomena of modernization of culture is new. fuck off and learn something.
FORWARD SOVIET!
Native cultures eradicated themselves by attacking better armed and morally superior cultures just like they did each other, and then complained when they got curbstomped by a modern industrial society. Some tribes didn't act like bloody savages and integrated. Those that kept to themselves did fine (Pueblo). Those that attacked settlers, kidnapped, raped, brutally tortured and murdered their women and children got what they deserved, just like the bloodthirsty Aztecs.
Of note: I am part Indian. But maybe das stil raycis since I'm mostly white and was raised like a white person.
Yeah, a few drops of Creek in me too but obviously we're both raaazist to cultural marxists who only see our "whiteness".
Which is odd in itself, THEY ONLY SEE THE COLOR, not the individual ;-)
"Those that kept to themselves did fine" ....right, like how Andrew Jackson promised them that after just one more relocation(Trail of Tears) that the natives could keep everything west of the Mississippi, and the "civilized" people would remain to be east.
Well, I guess we'll have to go back and ask why the Canarsie "Indians" sold land to the Dutch they didn't own.
The Dutch you see, came to the "negotiation" under the misrepresentation that the Canarsie actually "held title" to the land...which is what the Dutch understood (the concept of title) about real property.
Your fellow "bachelor degreed traveler" above can confirm all that.
The Dutch got ripped off by Indians regarding buying Manhattan...but was it intentional? ;-)
I'm not talking about the fucking Dutch, or any of the European colonies even. I am talking about the actions of THIS government, well after it was established in the name(supposedly) of liberty and justice for all. Well after it was electing its own presidents and creating its own laws. There is no way to excuse the way the US government reneged on its treaties and systematically wiped out any native resistance to the many injustices they faced long after the Dutch had anything to do with it.
You're gonna have to get over this thing in your head about "the noble redman", there is no such thing. That "concept" was implanted in your head.
Given the opportunity, they would have done the same thing to whitey, they did it to each other, they're human too.
Get over it.
We beeze rayciss, but we sho beeze EXCEPTIONAL.
Once again, bachelor's degree in anthropolgy. Your understanding of those events is so fucked I'm not even going to bother.
I don't just mean in the third world; capitalism has destroyed the native European cultures as well. The only one it hasn't affected is the Jews.
I often like to remind people of the same thing about Christianity- it isn't European! It's just as foreign to Europe as Islam and Judaism, it just got imposed there first...if people really wanted to honor their European roots they would worship nature, and go back to celebrating the solstices
I choose to worship nothing except having regular bodily functions.
marxisms vs cosmopolitisms?
I'm all ears?
Looks familar huh?
Merkel lefty pushing fifth column, and the nationalist right going off its brain about it.
Both groups national socialists at heart though. The cosmops only provide the propaganda and stir-up the shit.
Capitalism = State Sponsored Usury
Godless communist agitators / Bolshevik Ashkenazi Scum! Satan worshippers

Until you name the people and forces behind implementing Cultural Marxism you're just wasting your time.
It's not to hard to name the people that are actively destroying our society, you just have to be brave enough to look behind the curtain.

Can't put it down! s/c
without spirtituality that respects the connection between man and earth and is based on respect there isn't hope for anything.
Not sure why you were voted down for that. The realization that resources are not infinite unless we get off the planet, seems to be a reasonable one. If we do not care for the planet and be good stewards over what we have, we will indeed perish as a species. Earth is indeed our mother.
Our current societal norms and goals are premised on infinite growth. Can't do that without space travel, amongst some other things. Respect for limits is a no brainer.
This is something it seems like people on ZH do NOT want to hear
And your reward for defending a very basic principal that is so inescapably true it shouldn't need defending? 3 reds.
It is this type of manic and irrational 'capitalism' that repulses so many against all things capitistic. Never will you hear Janus bandwagon with these nuts who want to castrate the west with climate theology. But when soulless 'capitalists' fail to fold spirituality and our obvious duty to conduct ourselves as stewards of these gifts endowed of The Creator, particularly this incredible planet, it tends to cast a dubious pall over all the rest of their positions.
"...not even a sparrow's perishing escapes His knowing."
And these 'capitalists thing they can despoil and decimate His creation cavilierly and with impunity? Hardly! God is not mocked...especially in His Own splendid and mafnicent turf, and particularly as regards His lovely lady, Mother Earth.
Capitalism sans a soul is just marxism with incentives.

Oh ya mean like the Fed's QE program that was spread all round the world to other central banks ?
Ergo, a gold standard is required. Bi-metallic or whatever.

food, shelter, clothing...anything else is perverse.
can't remember philosopher...hard drive needs refrag. ;)
By the definitions of things set forth in that video, everyone who participates on this website is a "Cultural Marxist. The person who put that together did that with such broad brush stokes and an apple picked agenda, they have rendered the term aboslutely useless for distinguishing anything.
Everyone is a cultural Marxist according to that.
Many of the theorists listed in that thing have ideas that subvert the very things it claims are being reified into existence by the ideas...
If you are a theorist (not someone who is married to one set of ideas because your career depends on it), that thing is an outrage.
Dangerous.
Let the fucking games be-Goddamn-gin.
Good on ya Ms - And hell yeah...enough with BS batteling propaganda positions lets get down to the real deal damnit!!!!
Quit picking on Ms. Creant.
She's seen some unfortunate situations during her tenure.
She " over compensates" because she has values.
I like her, and value her input.
You're either the worst fucking troll I've come across or so mentally impaire that your comprehension... are you sure watch the same fucking video as everyone else? Because in that case you're one stupid bitch.
At the Rose Bowl we heard the announcer for the Stanford band declare that "gender is a social construct".
Where do these ideas originate anyway?
sschu
Many cultures around the world do not subscribe to our system of doing gender. Some have three, some have more. Two is arbitrary. 1/100 people are born with traits that do not conform to the gender binary as we have it set up. That is before we talk about sexual orientation which is a different concept that is frequently conflated with gender.
Further, for cultures that do subscribe to the idea that there are only 2 genders, the traits associated with those genders are not universal to all cultures. Women wear skirts here, men wear kilts in Scotland, both male and female Arabs wear similar garb you might think of as a dress. Gender roles are not universal.
The ideas are originating in both medical science and the social sciences.
"gender binary"
You sound like a silly feminist.
All animal life on earth that (except a few asexual beings) reproduces, does it sexually.
As in male/female, internally or externally.
Two homosexual animals cannot reproduce, so they are genetic losers by that fact.
Human society has functioned for thousands of years having opposite sex relationships.
Its just basic logic.
Something you seem to be lacking.
our system of doing gender
It is not our system, it is how we were born, man or women. What else is there?
Genesis 2.

The idea of two sexes is simplistic. Biologists now think there is a wider spectrum than that.
http://www.nature.com/news/sex-redefined-1.16943
Yeah simplistic and yet, your retarded, no doubt faggot ass still has difficulty with it.
I can't wait for poor, dumb fucks like you to starve to death.
There is nothing else. Your chromosomes are one or the other. That's it. Hermaphodites are rare like siamese twins. Surgery is a freak show.
While this applies to cattle, the same may apply to humans.
Consider the endocrine disrupters in everything we consume...plastics.
Birth control hormones in the water supply.
By design, the gender lines are being blurred.
I'm not talking media generated gender conflict ala Bruce Gender.

Gender is another hijacked word. I always related it to nouns, grammar and languages.

I wondered about the source of such stupidity as "It's impossible for Blacks to be racist".
Destruction of the traditional Western way of life is the goal.
Greed leads to mind games. Like the Romans once said; No person is an inferior as the person seeking equality. Welcome to Cultural-Marxism.
Well, sorry folks to do this (not really) but cultural marxism is jewish.

Actually, that first uptick was mine (just so you know). The Frankfurt School was packed to the rafters with jooos.
Truth is truth.
My studies are incomplete, but I see those who attacked Jesus as Jewish. They studied the old testament, they were maticulous in keeping it from being destroyed, but used it to control people rather than actually doing study through the spirit. The old testament spoke of the coming of Jesus hundreds of times, but Jesus would take their power away, so instead of bringing truth to the people, they killed Jesus. Jesus also said He will not return to them until they blessed the one who came to save. Ever since then, the darkness over the jews hearts have caused massive death and destruction, and deception. And I dont see it ending anytime soon. If you read my posts, I never bash jewish people because i dont like to lump everyone into one box, I am just sharing some of my learning...
Never met jesus.
Met a lot of jews that were gutter scum and liars tho.
Seems like a pattern, or something...
When I share my thoughts, I realize I am still learning. Nobody taught me these things when growing up....But I have another issue. In the book of revelations, it speaks of "they call themselves jews, but are not"...Then I searched the Rothchilds and find they call themselves jews, but are really khazars...If things would have been taught to me when young, and my mind more aware and clear, it would have been nice. My mind is not as young as it used to be...I was taught to say allegiance to a fucking flag, and hide under my wooden desk in case Russia nukes us, and to support wars of aggression because we were a "christian" nation. All lies.
I dont think its a label put on whatever philosophy use choose to pick...I think it is the darkness of the hearts that control mankind. And those in darkness seem to rise in power to control destiny. Whether it is capitolism, marxist, christian, atheist, islam, muslim, even austrian economics vs. keynesian economics..It doesnt matter. Its who control the philosophy. This is way beyond labels, it goes back to the beginning of mankind, and the good and bad in mens hearts. I use to call myself a christian, but not anymore, its just a label. I still have my belief in the trinity, but calling myself a christian makes me sick after I see what all the christians have done..same with atheists and muslims and etc. I will look to the hills from which my strength comes, and I will throw off all indoctrination, and do my best to keep my heart pure. Amen. And I dont think drinking beer, or smoking a bud, or looking at a nice figured girl, or saying cuss words, or women not covering their heads, etc are sins. I think SIN is people who do not search for wisdom and understanding. .The greatest sin in this country is the indoctrination centers they call skools, sold out churches, and the deception of mainstream media, and hollywood. It is written.
Anything that intimadates to change ones thinking and exceptence is ...well... evil? Marxism, man made global warming, being Non-homophobic to Islam are good examples. Anything that is culturaly or mentally force upon one. Any belief or Idea that is benign is never forced upon the masses.
