Introduction
Cultural
Marxism represents a concerted and sustained attempted to subvert and destroy Judeo
Christianity and the Western civilisation that is in large part a product of
Judeo Christianity. Its ultimate objective is cultural genocide and the
marginalisation of indigenous European races. These are not my conclusions.
Rather they are the stated aims of the founders, intellectual fathers, and key
proponents of cultural Marxism.[1]
In
quotes:
The
revolution won’t happen with guns, rather it will happen year by year,
generation by generation. We will gradually infiltrate their educational
institutions and political offices, transforming them slowly into Marxist
entities as we move towards universal egalitarianism. – Mark Horkheimer
The Western
world has been thoroughly saturated with Christianity for 2000 years…any
country grounded in Judaeo-Christian values cannot therefore be overthrown
until those roots are cut…but to cut the roots, to change the culture – a Long
March through the institutions is necessary. Only then will power fall into our
laps like ripened fruit! – Antonio Gramsci
…to organise
the intellectuals and use them to make Western civilisation stink. Only then,
after they have corrupted all its values and made life impossible, can we
impose a dictatorship of the proletariat. –
Willi Munzenberg
What Cultural Marxists Believe
Cultural
Marxists believe that, congruent with Darwin’s theory of evolution, order
arises spontaneously out of chaos. The destruction of the current organism,
Western civilisation, is necessary for the future organism to emerge. The all
powerful, all good, and all knowing State will arise from the ashes of our
civilisation to shepherd humanity to the next stage of human social evolution –
one which transcends and leaves behind outdated concepts such as gender,
marriage, family, race, nation, faith, individuality, and capitalism. This
belief has continued with minor variation from the early 20th
century until now. It is represented in quotations in appendices one.
Importantly,
cultural Marxism is not an odd historical relic but a very active political
movement with many names operating on multiple fronts. At the time of writing
the 10th International Critical Theory [aka cultural Marxism]
Conference was taking place in Rome[2].
Cultural
Marxism is the underlying force behind:
- parenting philosophies that remove the authority of parents
- various strands of radical feminism
- the radical abortion agenda
- the promotion of pornography
- transgenderism ideology
- the campaign to normalise aberrant lifestyles
- legalisation of drugs
- gay marriage
- Islamisation
- extreme immigration/open border policies
- creation of politically motivated crimes such as ‘hate speech’ for expressing normal opinions
- academic censorship
- government censorship
- the anti-Russian agenda[3]
- anti-male sexism
- anti-white racism
- the intrusion of the State into every aspect of life
‘Political Correctness’ is the shorthand term
for different aspects of cultural Marxism. The purpose of these agendas is not
the agendas themselves, but the tearing down of the existing order to make way
for the new order. What the new order will look like is not entirely clear, but
our best historical reference would be Mao’s cultural revolution in China which
sought to destroy traditional Chinese culture and replace it with the
infallible State. In that revolution an estimated 40 million people died as a
result of State policies. Innumerable others were tortured, imprisoned, or
exiled for simply being who they were.
Origins of Cultural Marxism
Cultural
Marxism arose because of the evident falsehood of Marx’ prediction that the
workers would rise up in a violent rebellion against the capitalist class in
Europe and America. It was this cognitive dissonance that led thinkers such as
Antonia Gramsci to re-think the Marxist dialectic. Rather than seeing the
struggle in economic terms, Gramsci re-framed the struggle in social terms. In
this mode of thinking, capitalism could not be overthrown until all the social
relations which were considered beneficial towards capitalism, were overthrown.
This demanded a complete tearing down of the existing social order;
specifically gender relations, sexual norms, faith, trust in authority, and national
sentiment. Gramsci was imprisoned by
Mussolini and died in jail. His baton was taken up by philosophers of the
‘Frankfurt school’ at Frankfurt University in Germany in the 1930’s. Key
thinkers included Theadore Adorno, Max Horkheimer, and Herbert Mercuse. Their
collective efforts are known today as ‘Critical Theory’. As atheist Jews, their
continued existence at Frankfurt University became untenable and they moved to
the United States. There they laid the groundwork for the counter-cultural revolution
of the 1960’s in fulfilment of Gramisci’s original vision.
The
significance of this short history is that the social unravelling that took
shape as the post war generation was entering college was not coincidental;
rather it was planned.
Strategies of Cultural Marxism
Liberating
tolerance, then, would mean intolerance against movements from the Right and
toleration of movements from the Left… it would extend to the stage of action
as well as of discussion and propaganda, of deed as well as word. – Herbert Marcuse – from is essay Repressive Tolerance.
Based
on communist writings of the 1920s and 1930s cultural Marxists adopted the
following 13 specific strategies to demoralise and tear down the host society:
- Mass immigration and one-sided race offences to destroy identity and social cohesion
- Attacking love of nation or race as pathological and criminal
- Encouraging rebellion against any form of authority (except their own)
- Removal of parental authority
- Destruction of the family as being mother, father and children
- Encouraging promiscuity and aberrant lifestyles
- Teaching homosexuality and promiscuity to children
- Promoting drug and alcohol addiction
- Promoting militant atheism to marginalise faith
- Dumbing down state education
- Mass censorship
- Economic dependency on the State
- Dividing society along as many lines as possible – worker against employee, women against men, queer against straight, black against white, etc.[4]
‘Political
Correctness’ is a short hand term for these strategies. For an insight into
tactical organisation and strategy see Saul Alinsky, Rules for Radicals 1971.
Had
this agenda been announced publicly to the world at large it would have been
rejected in the 1950’s. Marxists therefore adopted an intergenerational
strategy of cultural subversion focussed on capturing the minds of the post war
generation. They presented their agenda as progressive academic theory. This is
known as ‘critical theory’ because it relentlessly ‘criticises’ or deconstructs
the existing order. Once the theory became accepted in Western academia it made
its way rapidly into the liberal arts curriculum and into state schools. Once
established in the minds of thought leaders of the post war generation it could
then inform and animate a raft of social change movements. The ‘Safe Schools (sic) Program’ is the
latest manifestation of cultural Marxism in public schools.[5]
Why these Strategies have been Effective
It
would be easy to list reams of statistics from male suicide rates, to rates of
STDs, to fatherlessness, that bear stark witness to the effectiveness of these
strategies. However, this should already be well known since even a cursory
examination of Western societies in 1950 compared to 2000 is sufficient. How could a small number of depressive
atheist philosophers from Germany have so effectively damaged our civilisation
in one lifetime?
The
extant critical literature on cultural Marxism has failed to answer that
question, but an answer is needed. Having spent 10 years working with activists
on the social left the answer, to this author, is clear. Cultural Marxism
succeeded because:
- It promises a messianic form of secular salvation
- It attracts fanatics
- It attaches itself to legitimate grievances
It
gained a ‘foot in the door’ because the establishment church and conservatives
of the 1950s and 1960s were disinterested in, or actively opposed to, several
key social causes – gay rights, women’s rights, and worker’s rights.[6]
The establishment failed to denounce militarism, and could not advance a
constructive sexual ethic for the post contraceptive generation. This created
‘space’ for cultural subversives to attach themselves to legitimate social
grievances and aspirations and radicalise them. Having found this strategy to
be effective, cultural subversives then infiltrated other social movements
including the church[7],
NGOs, and the civic institutions of society. Once subverted, otherwise
legitimate social movements were used to engender social conflict. The outcome
of each conflict would be a compromise that moved society further to the left.
This is known as a ‘Hegelian dialectic’ because it was first described by the
German philosopher Hegel. This strategy was adopted with great effectiveness by
the gay liberation movement, which used it with remarkable cynicism. An
analysis of their campaign is found here.
Thus
for example, campaigns for women’s rights became an attack on fatherhood[8].
The personal and social difficulties experienced by a very small number of
genuinely transgender individuals became a reason to teach primary school
children that there is no such thing as gender.[9] The
desire of some homosexual people to have their relationships recognised became
a ‘no-holds barred’ assault on religious freedom. Environmental concerns became
a reason to advocate de-industrialisation, one world government and the
abolition of private property.[10]
In this way, legitimate issues and concerns are subverted as tools to divide
and weaken society.
In
this, cultural Marxists were greatly assisted by the Soviet Union. It is not
widely understood today that 85 per cent of the budget of the KGB was spent,
not on traditional espionage, but on cultural subversion. While differing in
ideology, cultural Marxists and the KGB shared a common goal of bringing
Western societies to a state of ‘demoralisation’ or chaos as a precursor to the
creation of a Marxist society. Social ‘progressives’ were (and are) animated by
a woolly notion of a fairer and better society in which patriarchy and
capitalism would be tamed or extinguished. The KGB regarded ‘progressives’ as
“useful idiots” who would be shot once a Marxist-Leninist state was
established.[11]
Either way, by the time the Russian people finally overthrew the Soviet Union
and sacked the KGB, the process of demoralisation in the West had begun in
earnest. The students of Marcuse and Adorno and their disciples were now in key
positions in government, the media, and academia, with deep roots in the social
democratic parties of the West.[12]
Hillary Clinton and Barrack Obama were personally mentored by cultural Marxist
activists, and implemented much of their 13 point plan when in office.[13]
Thus,
when a normal citizen wakes up and finds that their young children are being
taught homosexuality in school, their suburbs have been taken over by another
race that is culturally incompatible, political parties are hostile or
indifferent to their values, and stating evident truths is illegal, they should
not be surprised. This is merely the opening stages of the processes of
demoralisation which was described by critical theory and weaponised by the
KGB.
The Marx / Muslim Connection
2017
saw the spectacle of white American feminists protesting Trump’s alleged
misogyny by wearing ‘pussy hats’ while kneeling in the street to an Islamic recitation
in solidarity with legal and illegal Muslim migrants.[14]
To the uninitiated this defies all logic. However, logic has nothing to do with
social Marxism which deconstructs logic anyway. Let me explain. While Marxists
and radical Islamists might appear to be natural enemies, they have three
important things in common:
- A desire to infiltrate and ultimately overthrow the current society, government and constitution[15]
- A pathological hatred of Christians and Jews, and of Judeo Christian culture
- A doctrine of deception which considers anything moral that advances the cause
For
leftists who believe their own propaganda, all people are innately good, thus
all Muslims are innately good, therefore terrorism, mass rape or other criminal
conduct must be the fault of the host society. For their part, Muslims are
simply using the left as ‘useful idiots’ to provide political and legal cover for
mass immigration and Islamisation. How leftists are treaded in Muslim countries
today is a clear indication of their future should demographic trends reach a
tipping point. While leftists seem unable to make the obvious connections, true
Marxists believe that radical Islam can be both weaponised and contained.[16]
While
most people see the nexus between the left and Muslim migrants as a case of the
naive helping the opportunistic, there is a deeper geopolitical aspect. The
relationship between Islamist organisations and the US and British secret
services date from the 1950’s. The Bush family has had a close relationship
with Islamic terrorists since the 1980’s and the Clinton’s have had a close
relationship with Islamic terrorists since at least the 1990’s. Islamisation in
Europe is a direct and intentional outcome of Hillary Clinton’s policy in Libya
and Syria. When the current President tried to moderate this policy, elements
within the security establishment began actively working against him using
assets within the media.[17]
The entire Western security apparatus has failed to stop the Gulen network,
which is legal, public, and seeks to create Islamic governments across the
world. The network operates and benefits from hundreds of educational
institutions and businesses across 110 countries, and is a major donor to the
US Democratic Party.[18]
It has enormous power within Turkey, which, as a NATO member, is the open door
for the Islamic invasion of Europe. It is likely in the near future, that
cultural Marxists will ally with Islamists to physically supress or eliminate
patriotic elements within Western societies.
Political
Islam and Marxism are both totalitarian creeds and both see their future
opportunity for power arising from the ashes of a broken and demoralised West.
The current marriage of convenience therefore makes sense on the basis that
‘the enemy of my enemy is my friend’, the enemy in this instance being normal
patriotic citizens with traditional cultural values.
Following
is a quote from Mr Gulen. Note the similarity to the previous quotes from
Marxists:
You must move in the arteries of the system
without anyone noticing your existence until you reach all the power centers …
until the conditions are ripe, they [the followers] must continue like this. If
they do something prematurely, the world will crush our heads, and Muslims will
suffer everywhere, like in the tragedies in Algeria, like in 1982 [in] Syria …
like in the yearly disasters and tragedies in Egypt. The time is not yet right.
You must wait for the time when you are complete and conditions are ripe, until
we can shoulder the entire world and carry it … You must wait until such time
as you have gotten all the state power, until you have brought to your side all
the power of the constitutional institutions…
It follows that pushing back against cultural Marxism ipso
facto weakens the hands of the Islamists.
The flip side of mass Islamic immigration is that many
migrants have conservative social values and completely reject cultural
Marxism. This reached the state of high farce in Australia where the Islamic
community allied with the Christian right and voted against homosexual marriage
en mass to such an extent that the ‘no’ vote was 75 per cent in Muslim
dominated electorates in Western Sydney. Left leaning journalists (of the ABC)
were terminally incapable of admitting that ‘their’ migrants had voted against
‘their’ gay rights policy and tried to blame the result on private schooling.
Since the Islamic community is diverse and complex there will
be multiple contradictions, and alliances between both the left and the right.
The Fatal Flaw
The
deep flaw in social Marxism is that it attacks a foundational human need – the
need for identity, and replaces it with alienation. This is unsurprising since
Marx himself was a deeply alienated individual. He wrote about alienation and
projected his personal dissonance onto capitalism. Indeed, only a deeply
alienated individual could seek to destroy the society that birthed and
nurtured them. Social Marxism at best offers a temporary and conditional social
belonging that is predicated entirely on group hostility toward ‘the other’. Cultural
Marxism both creates and feeds off alienation. The cycle of hatred and
alienation is unending, dividing society into ever smaller hostile groups. So
for example, when fatherhood is marginalised a generation is alienated. An
alienated generation is more easily recruited to the cause. A generation
lacking connection is also more easily provoked to political violence. Thus,
while cultural Marxism offers liberation, it delivers only conflict and misery.
It will ultimately fail. The only issue is whether it will cause the West to
fail too.

Comments: Saul Alinsky was a community organiser and life-long friend of and
mentor to Hillary Rodham Clinton. He was a social democrat whose book Rules for Radicals is a seminal and
amoral technical account of how to get power for the ‘have-nots’. The following
are quotes.
Saul Alinsky Rules for Radicals 1971
Lest we forget at least an
over-the-shoulder acknowledgment to the very first radical: from all our
legends, mythology, and history (and who is to know where mythology leaves off
and history begins—or which is which), the first radical known to man who
rebelled against the establishment and did it so effectively that he at least
won his own kingdom—Lucifer.
—SAUL
ALINSKY
"Any
revolutionary change must be preceded by a passive, affirmative,
non-challenging attitude toward change among the mass of our people [Ed -
‘demoralisation’ in KGB parlance’]. They must feel so frustrated, so defeated,
so lost, so futureless in the prevailing system that they are willing to let go
of the past and chance the future. This acceptance is the reformation essential
to any revolution. To bring on this reformation requires that the organizer
work inside the system…"
"Men
will act when they are convinced that their cause is 100 per cent on the side
of the angels and that the opposition are 100 per cent on the side of the
devil. He knows that there can be no action until issues are polarized to this
degree."
"To
attempt to operate on a good-will rather than on a power basis would be to
attempt something that the world has not yet experienced."
"The
thirteenth rule: Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it"
[Ed - as with the current attacks on President Trump].

Comments: Foster, a hard core communist, sets out the stages of revolution from
socialist to capitalist, to the gradual destruction of the culture, to the
subversion of democracy, and then the creation of a totalitarian State. In the
new State, faith is no longer tolerated and “reactionary classes” such as
Christians and business owners are “eliminated”. Finally, the State itself is
taken-over by a global dictatorship that sees all nations destroyed and
humanity as a single polyglot. In Foster’s progression, we are now at the stage
of destruction of the culture and subversion of democracy. Note the approach to education, sex and
religion.
William Z Foster Towards a Soviet America 1932
Between capitalist and Communist society there lies a period of
revolutionary transformation from the former to the latter.
At this lower stage Communist society only just emerges from
capitalist society and bears all the economic, ethical and intellectual
birthmarks it has inherited from the society from whose womb it is just
emerging… Being the product of a definite level of productive forces, they will
disappear as rapidly … the dictatorship of the proletariat will produce a whole
series of restrictions of liberty in the case of the oppressors, exploiters and
capitalists…Only then will be possible and will be realized a really full
democracy, a democracy without any exceptions. And only then will democracy
itself begin to wither away…
In
the U.S.S.R., as part of the general cultural revolution, religion is being
liquidated. Religion, which Marx called, “the opium of the people,” has been a
basic part of every system of exploitation that has afflicted humanity…
Religion is the sworn enemy of liberty, education, science.
Such
a monstrous system of dupery and exploitation is totally foreign to a Socialist
society; firstly, because there is no exploited class to be demoralized by
religion; secondly, because its childish tissue of superstition is impossible
in a society founded upon Marxian materialism; and thirdly, because its slavish
moral system is out of place, the new Communist moral code developing naturally
upon the basis of the new modes of production and exchange.
Religion is now in deep crisis throughout the capitalist world.
The quarrels between “modernists” and “fundamentalists” in American churches
are one form of this crisis. Religion, born in a primitive world, finds it
extremely difficult to survive in a world of industry and great cities… In the
U.S.S.R., as it must be in any Socialist country, religion dies out in the
midst of the growing culture. As the factories and schools open the churches
close.
Among
the elementary measures the American Soviet government will adopt to further
the cultural revolution are the following; the schools, colleges and universities
will be coordinated and grouped under the National Department of Education and
its state and local branches. The studies will be revolutionized, being
cleansed of religious, patriotic and other features of the bourgeois ideology.
The students will be taught on the basis of Marxian dialectical materialism,
internationalism and the general ethics of the new Socialist society. Present
obsolete methods of teaching will be superseded by a scientific pedagogy.
The
churches will remain free to continue their services, but their special tax and
other privileges will be liquidated. Their buildings will revert to the State.
Religious schools will be abolished and organized religious training for minors
prohibited. Freedom will be established for anti-religious propaganda.
The
whole basis and organization of capitalist science will be revolutionized.
Science will become materialistic, hence truly scientific; God will be banished
from the laboratories as well as from the schools.
The future Communist society will be Stateless. With private
property in industry and land abolished (but, of course, not in articles of
personal use), with exploitation of the toilers ended, and with the capitalist
class finally defeated and all classes liquidated, there will then be no
further need for the State.
A Communist world will be a unified, organized world.
…. In such a society there will be no tariffs or the many other barriers
erected by capitalism against a free world interchange of goods. The raw
material supplies of the world will be at the disposition of the peoples of the
world.
Politically, the world will be organized. There will
be no colonies, no “spheres of influence,” no hypocritical “open doors.”
Once
the power of the bourgeoisie is broken internationally and its States
destroyed, the world Soviet Union will develop towards a scientific
administration of things, as Engels describes. There will be no place for the
present narrow patriotism, the bigoted nationalist chauvinism that serves so
well the capitalist war makers.
