"In 1923, the Frankfurt School-a Marxist think-tank-was founded in Weimar Germany. Among its founders were Georg Lukacs, Herbert Marcuse, and Theodor Adorno. The school was a multidisciplinary effort which included sociologists, sexologists, and psychologists.
The primary goal of the Frankfurt School was to translate Marxism from economic terms into cultural terms. It would provide the ideas on which to base a new political theory of revoltuion based on culture, harnessing new oppressed groups for the faithless proletariat. Smashing religion, morals, It would also build a constituency among academics, who could build careers studying and writing about the new oppression.
Toward this end, Marcuse-who favored polymorphous perversion-expanded the ranks of Gramsci's new proletariat by including homosexuals, lesbians, and transsexuals. Into this was spliced Lukacs radical sex education and cultural terrorism tactics. Gramsci's long march' was added to the mix, and then all of this was wedded to Freudian psychoanalysis and psychological conditioning techniques. The end product was Cultural Marxism, now known in the West as multiculturalism.
Additional intellectual firepower was required: a theory to pathologize what was to be destroyed. In 1950, the Frankfurt School augmented Cultural Marxism with Theodor Adorno's idea of the authoritarian personality.' This concept is premised on the notion that Christianity, capitalism, and the traditional family create a character prone to racism and fascism. Thus, anyone who upholds America's traditional moral values and institutions is both racist and fascist. Children raised by traditional values parents, we are told to believe, will almost certainly become racists and fascists. By extension, if fascism and racism are endemic to America's traditional culture, then everyone raised in the traditions of God, family, patriotism, gun ownership, or free markets is in need of psychological help.

Stalin pretty much put a stop to that, that was more of a Trotsky thing.
Isn't that, rather, what is now called Political Correctness? (Multiculturalism is IMO the importing of alien cultures to weaken and ultimately destroy the social fabric of a formerly mostly cohesive society.)
All of this has nothing to do with Soviet Union/Russia. At early stages the Bolshevick party had many insane people, but Uncle Joe had them shot among the first. They didn’t prove helpful, and Stalin needed power over a strong country. Therefore there was a ban on abortions (in his time), an extra tax on the childless people (till perestroyka) and criminalised male homosexual sex. I’m not saying that the Soviet orphans were not occasionally abused, but it was never institutional. But stealing from them, I mean the orphanages’ personnel stealing food or something was another issue.
phenomenal post, thank you.
