Gramsci, Adorno, Lukasc, Marcuse...I feel like I’m back in Grad School!

I know one semi-prominent blogger who calls the Lefties “Gramscian whores”!

I have a major problem with the “diversity” that many on the left are so fond of.

Someone here thought that was a major character defect on my part and called me out.

This article perfectly explains the dangers of diversity and multiculturalism.

I hate the Left.

Obambi is a communist straight out of the Saul Alinsky Karl Marx school of philosophy.

[liberalism is suicide]

What leftists call “diversity” is more properly called perversity.

"Obambi is a communist straight out of the Saul Alinsky Karl Marx school of philosophy"

Saul Alinsky's play book combined with George Soro's check book brought Mr Teleprompter to the pinnacle of power. Now, with the continued application of Fabian Socialism, we could move into socialist fascism.

We have moved so fast since January 20th. I wonder what a year from now will bring?

We need to form our own version of the Frankfurt School. But this time, we utterly destroy Marxism and bury it. Put into place structure within the society that identify it and stamp it out.

Because this is a multi-generational plan, very complicated, and working on an advanced understanding of the human psyche, I am convinced that our fight is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

We are dealing with the doctrines of demons, and we must fight it as such.

[Clock King]

Exactly. The Marxists have been successful because they early on realized what this battle is: a battle for the human soul.

There’s a lot of confusion as to what Marxism actually is. It’s not a form of goverment it’s a theory of history (history can be seen in terms of class struggle). As such, the term ‘Cultural Marxism’ doesn’t make much sense.

Superstitious, bigotted, homophobic, intolerant, scientifically illiterate, unenlightened-—what more can be said?!? These right-wingers are a danger to tyrants and moral imbeciles everywhere!!! (sarc)

I would disagree, because we need to understand that Marxism isn't just a theory of history, it's a deterministic theory of history, indeed, it almost has a millenarian flavour to it - Marxists believe they are going to bring about the "End of History", and for our modern day lefties, this is going to be obtained by means of cultural subversion of the reigning bourgeious social order. As such, "cultural marxism" strikes me as an eminently accessible term.

[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

Yeah, something needs to be done about these nutcases before they restore a respect for the Constitution, or something equally destructive to the leftist cause!

[Borges]

Auden called it a Christian Heresy (Peglagianism I assume)so the Millenarian idea makes sense but the idea of subverting the ‘bourgeois social order’ is something that came to be attached to Marx's strictly historical/economic ideas much later by Gramsci and others. He gets credit/blame for a whole bunch of irrelevant ideas. Marxism should be seen in context as a 19th century Materialist response to Hegel.
