Cultural Marxism, Explained

It was about 8 years ago I texted a Saskatchewan talk radio host privately and warned, “Please stop calling them ‘social justice warriors’. It’s too dismissive and it obfuscates what they’re doing. Call them what they are: dangerous Marxists.”

And now, here we are.

40 minutes of required viewing: James Lindsay at the European Parliament.

    1. I think everybody here considers themselves “red pilled”.
      Why downplay this?
      “Oh I’m redpilled so I don’t need to watch this”

      You did the same thing with the Mike Benz interview immediately.
      Why?

      1. I watched it and agreed with every word. Do I need your permission to comment here or should I ask you to vet every word first?

  1. 23:30 “Everything’s a weapon.”

    We have this masterclass two weeks after Tucker Carlson’s Mike Benz explanation of The Blob, and we send it to Leftards who respond with “I’m not watching that, you’re intellectually inferior” in the same breath.

    “It’s afraid”

    1. No one is forcing you to read anyone’s comments but since you’re offering free psychoanalysis, I will offer you a psychological profile in return. I sense you’d make a dedicated member of the Red Guard and turn in your parents for an “incorrect” comment or thought crime or not reading the little red book right to the end.

  2. The attainment of private property is what made America Great. The American Dream (of home/land ownership) made America Great. But sadly, the welfare State of America … and I’m including corporate/war machine welfare and Education welfare as massive parts of that Welfare State … has now inflated the currency through $34T in deficit spending (and counting – rapidly) to render The American Dream unattainable for the vast majority of Americans. Add to that the leftist protectionism that has added to the cost and complexity of home ownership, such as; mandatory solar panels, fire sprinklers, and massive utility hook-up fees to mention a few in CA … and only the government and corporate elites can afford The American Dream. Only the Politburo of elites can Dream.

    The result is a Nation of economic dependents … who OWN NOTHING … and only feed at the hand of a benevolent State. And we’ve opened our borders to a 10 million man army of new economic dependents with marginal marketable skills swelling the ranks of dependents.

    It’s over. America has become the ultimate Marxist wet dream. Socialism now prevails … at every level of society … the only thing left is the SEIZURE of property and wealth of the “undesirable” elites who do not bow and pray to the LGBTQueers and everything WOKE. And that’s coming. A State and Judicial judgement against Trump is the signal that the SEIZURES will commence … and nothing will STOP The State.

  3. I’ve been telling people for decades that if we don’t rid ourselves of the left ,we are going to end up asking them for permission to live.
    And here we are

  4. Way back when John Lennon performed Revolution and talked about not making it with anyone by carrying pictures of Chairman Mao, I wondered what he meant by that. I discovered his relationship with John Sinclair and the White Panthers and, of course, Saul Alinsky and Rules for Radicals and was introduced to the concept of Cultural Marxism, The Frankfurt School and the long march through the institutions. This is the best video primer on that topic I have ever found. My earlier comment was intended to recommend it for sharing to anyone wobbling on the fence and thinking, “It can’t be that bad, can it?” It can and it is.

    1. Thomas
      Rules for radicals, is simply street wisdom put to text. Just about every thing attributed to rules for radicals, I knew about before I ever heard of that Russian Joo.

  5. Agree with Kate 100% and have been doing this for a while. These people are Marxists/communists and we should ALL refer to them as that going forward. They mean business and so should we. Even if they maybe aren’t commies, they’re still taking us to the same place.

  6. L – The Cult. Marxists have seized power in every government branch, including the quasi
    gov’t. of bodies that regulate the professions. The Covid-19 Lockdowns and jab mandates
    exposed that clearly. Bureaucratic capture resembles covens of Macbethian witches
    crossed with the the Hydra of Greek Mythology.

    James Lindsay’s role is like that of Hercules. Identity politics generates endless heads much
    like the Hydra did.

    (Note-Disclaimer- Any persons actual resemblance to the heads of the Hydra and/or the witches of Macbeth are not intentional and no more than a coincidence.)

    (“Heracles called for his nephew to help him, and the clever young man came up with an ingenious way to stop the beast. Perhaps inspired by Athena, he picked up one of the flaming torches they had used to find their way through the marsh.

    As Heracles proceeded to cut off each of the monster’s heads, Iolaus followed behind with the firebrand. As soon as a head was removed, he used the torch to cauterize the wound.

    By acting so quickly, the wound was closed before a new set of heads could grow from it. At last, Heracles could get ahead of the monster’s regenerative abilities.”)

  7. Kinda explains the Left’s need to send out gas can brigades to burn churches: destroy what they can’t control through Marxist ideology.

  8. Karl Marx was an abject failure as a human, as a provider for his family, and as a man.
    He and his family would have starved if it had not been for handouts from aquaintances. (He had no “friends” as he felt himself superior to all he met, and would broadcast that erroneous opinion widely.)
    His vaunted economic theory is little more than the whining of a failure. looking for an excuse as to why others succeeded when he did not, despite his supposed “superiority.”
    His disciples follow his methodology. Does a certain demograph not succeed? It is because they are oppressed!
    Certainly not because another group showed up for work, school, etc.
    Does a certain sexual proclivity have a higher rate of depression and suicide? It is because they are oppressed! Those eeevil normies are oppressors!
    The entire psycho-babble industry is built on the same shaky fountation. Don’t worry Snowflake! It’s not your fault! We will get to the bottom of why it is Mommy’s fault, or Daddy’s fault or Society’s fault or blah blah blah.
    The convienient excuse of Oppressor/Oppressed turns every successful culture or person into the bad guy, and every failure into some paragon of virtue.
    I am so tired of every dialogue being framed this way.

    1. He was also a rabid anti-Semite. His hatred of Jews was frequently expressed in his writings. There is no essential difference between the thinking of Karl Marx and the thinking of Adolf Hitler. The only difference was that the latter was in position to put his religion into practice as a head of state.

      1. Agree, cgh. I have read some of his statements, and they are abominable. Interesting how George Washington, John A MacDonald and others are excoriated for not measuring up to 2023 Woke standards, yet Marx has received a free pass on his anti-Semitism, the way he treated his only employee, or his treatment of women.

      2. His ideology was a rationale for German anti-Semitism, with even the pretense of fear of the God of Israel stripped away. No wonder our “elites” still adore him so much.

  9. Very good explanation of current events. But even if one had not watched this video you would know in your guts that something evil is at work.

    The present cultural tide is inexorable. It will take several generations for the incoming flood to ebb. As a practical matter we have two choices: accept what is and go with the flow or get to land because swimming against the flood is futile. Ah, but what land and where is it, you may well ask?

    I have given this idea some considerable investigation and have reached some conclusions which I will speak to at a later date.

  10. I’ve been saying it for years. These people are serious. They want to destroy you. They have their trinity of beliefs: diversity, environmentalism (global warming), and totalitarian healthcare. The environmentalist cult is already ubiquitous. Totalitarian healthcare is the norm in the west. Diversity is the mantra in governments, academia, and corporations. Welfare/warfare cronies and are on board with all of this. Unless you’re ready to surrender, be a good believer and beg for your crumbs, you better be prepared to fight.

    Frankly, I have little hope. Just look how easily so many people happily lined up to get their COVID shots, accepted lockdowns, and are still wearing masks. In the end, most people are intellectual children more than happy to just follow orders. It will be interesting to see how progressives end up handling Islam. I don’t think it will be very pretty. I weep for my children. I weep for all children.

  11. I found this an interesting thread. About a year ago, when discussing current events, I told my wife, “All roads lead to Communism” & began referring to people on the left as Communists! And ever since my little epiphany, events have completely vindicated my conclusion! Communism never quits or forgets! wsj
