I've done a few papers on it and around it. Critical theory seems alright, it definitely pops up in the research of minority or discouraged groups more but I think that's because analysing existing structures etc with a critical (often historical) eye lends itself to discovering why the groups are 'oppressed' in the first place. I haven't read Marx but he's a good example because he took a step back and diagnosed the structure of his industrialising society from the eye of the working people.

lmao imagine thinking this. yea dude, the secret marxists are running everything!!11! soros!1 they control every college!!!

listen, dumbass: the word "liberal" just means freedom in terms of ideology. There's a reason why capitalism is also known as "liberal economics". In America "liberal" has become a word meaning you want change by reforming the system; but because the Democrats and GOP both essentially believe in the same economics the word has come to signify a number of mostly cultural issues. The fact that the labor movement and an ultimately materialist view of politics has been ignored by the majority of elites shows how simple it is that "liberal" and "left" are different things.

You just mentioned that they're "culturally" in control, which proves my point: true leftism is about economics, not culture. Amazon and your job emailing you about BLM doesn't mean the left is doing anything other than being co opted by people with actual power as meaningless signifiers. The shift that you describe (and critical race theory etc's alleged root in neo-Marxism; again it seems you don't know anything about frankfurt school) is miscalculated: the whole point of "wokeness" is that it gives the appearance of being left wing and morally righteous while in reality it acts as handmaiden to capital.

It's just that there are at least two dimensions to it rather than one, and they aren't fully orthogonal to be sure, but your Marxism makes you see culture as merely epiphenonemal on economics, which weakens your analysis. Of course there is a phony, calculated cynicism to some of it but there's also a lot of true belief or it wouldn't be profitable to pander to it in the first place, and besides they don't seem to give much of a shit about alienating their conservative customers either, suggesting there's a lot more to it than just the bottom line and class war from above.

So, let me get this straight. True leftism is about economics, not culture, and that's why corporations explicitly adopting a culture war political program and trying to brainwash everyone into it isn't meaningful in any way?

You can't say that corporations shoving all this shit down everyone's throats isn't leftist just because "real" leftism would be anti-capital. While that's a nice fantasy, leftist cultural politics have gone hand in hand with capitalist programs since more or less the beginning. Feminism was just women's liberation...to do what? Oh yeah, to suck and fuck all day long instead of getting married and throw themselves into the workforce to stagnate wages..."progress"

Anti-racism and globalism began to be shilled as "free trade" began expanding globally with the end of the cold war. You can kvetch about how none of this is "real leftism" all you want, but the fact is that capital has always been one of the biggest pushers of (successful) leftist politics whenever it has suited their purposes. Pretending capital can ONLY be right wing just because you prefer identifying as a leftist is naive and historically illiterate.

>Holy shit, because a few professors teach people critical thinking and to read a nigger book you think the entire workforce and instrumentalities of power are leftist?
To conflate critical theory with critical thinking is dishonest to begin with, but it's a great example of just how insidious problem is. To present a means of viewing and analyzing the world from as highly political lens in order to achieve specific political goals alone as nothing more than "critical thinking" shows that the purpose isn't to think critically but to naturalize highly political thinking. One can see this among leftists who often assert that their political ideology and the concepts it entails aren't political and ideological at all; they assert that these ideals (basic human rights, basic human decency, basic humanity, etc.) are ultimately just the the answer to moral questions that exist outside of politics or, oddly enough, as some sort of system table manners for the whole of society to follow. The goal is to make the normative aims of the political left and the means of analysis most conducive to achieving them as feel as natural as the laws of physics. You are also mistaken about the extent which this occurs. If these were fringe professors teaching a one-off class somewhere, no one would care. The problem is that universities tailor every aspect of the student experience to advance this agenda. Students are inundated with propaganda both in and outside of class in order for the the aforementioned process to take effect, and if that doesn't work, they are shown countless examples of people being punished for opposing the orthodoxy.
University campuses are just large Skinner boxes complex enough to condition groups of people numbering in the thousands.

I think these people are highly intelligent and effective. My problem with them is that they're evil, not that they're stupid.

>long tirade that doesn’t acknowledge how conservative the law and ownership of property in our current system is but continues to blame underpaid professors forced to constantly publish
You use lots of words, but you’re still really dumb, how is that?

>how conservative the law
These amount to nothing more than vesitgial elements of past society constantly being being constantly picked apart by the the professional class.
>ownership of property
This is irrelevant in a non-revolutionary setting. But the class of educated laborers are aid the communist cause in the event of a collapse event; otherwise they work to secure the left's grip on power and advance its other causes.
In a technological society like our own, educated labor is the engine that keeps the whole machine running. Controlling the supply and nature of educated labor allows you to exert an extreme influence that has a demand for it. Even if these professors are underpaid they are compensated with wages of control and influence which more than make up for it.

If any of those corporations "believed" in communism they would at least improved workers condition.

They don't believe in communism, but their educated workforce is prepared to use all of their resources to advance the cause of communism.

>because analysing existing structures etc with a critical (often historical) eye lends itself to discovering why the groups are 'oppressed' in the first place
What does "historical" even mean in this context? Historical narratives are often incredibly biased
