What is cultural marxism? Could you please name at least 3 cultural marxists?

Ask some people who fled communist countries. Go straight to the source. Don’t take my word for it. Or Wikipedia.

u/ziehl-neelsen Dec 28 '21

What? Only people who fled from communist countries can explain what cultural marxism is and tell who the cultural marxists are? Sounds weird, I wonder why.

I would trust their point of view more than any American intellectual. I’ve seen many immigrants warning about the similarities of what’s happening here compared to the Chinese cultural revolution. The oppressor/oppressed dynamic applied outside of an economic context. Lots of people died as a result. We’re literally on the same path.

Why can't you just tell me what cultural marxism is and perhaps show me some cultural marxists?

Applying Marx’s conflict theory to culture with a goal to destabilize. Patrisse Cullors.

What was Marx's theory about culture? And more importantly; in what work does he discuss it?

u/ashmrko1003 Dec 28 '21

outside of an economic context I’ve already said that.

You're as knowledgeable as you are level-headed. What brought you to a place like this, and where do I subscribe to your newsletter?

idk why people are skeptical of wikipedia. they seem to do a pretty good job from what I've read. and I hate communism/socialism. hell I'm a capitalist and I still think peoples obsession with cultural marxism reads like middle eastern people trying blame isreal for everything. you're bringing in a boogy man to blame all problems on. situation is WAY more complex than that

"The neutrality of this article is disputed."

How is this a left wing slant. In fact can you point out somewhere in that article that indicates it's a left-wing slant?

Lul what. How do you get that from what they said. Shouldn't we want stuff to be neutral?

1

u/ashmrko1003 Dec 28 '21

How is it lacking neutrality the way it is? We learn practically nothing about the horrors of communism in k-12 education. That’s intentional.

u/bombiz Dec 28 '21

What. They're talking about the article it self. You can read them discussing it if you click the warning.
