"Cultural Marxism" is a boogeyman term for a real phenomenon that has nothing to do with Marxism. Yes it is similar if you substitute socioeconomic class for whatever category happens to be in front of you (race/sex/orientation), or all of them together, but that distinction is enough to separate the two entirely when you consider that the entirety of the Marxist tradition is built around the conflict between the classes and the subjugation of the lower class. There is no intersectional theory of alienation, no intersectional theory of historical materialism, no race- or sex- or whatever-theory of value.

It is the very people that most conservatives attribute as the prophets of "Cultural Marxism" that would be the quickest to dismiss what we see today as the result of processes that mask or prevent class struggle (which is exactly what Adorno, Horkheimer, Marcuse, etc, set out to do), and which prevent real revolution from occurring (merits of historical materialism notwithstanding). It was only after the work of the Frankfurt School became bastardized and misinterpreted in the movements of the sixties (admittedly with the inital support of Marcuse) that we ended up with what we have today, ironically often conflated with the work of the Frankfurt School itself.

The sad fact is that it is not merely the vague thirst for freedom and equality that Tocqueville described almost two centuries ago that led to our current state but also the accumulative impulse nurtured and obliged by capitalism, which has worked to destabilize and dissolve older more firm, time-tested institutions. The work of Rawls and modern "liberals" is similar to Marxists in that it outright denies the legitimacy of ties forged through family, fraternity, and localism. The Rawlsian individual as well as the Marxist Proletarian is atomic. Combined with the concomitant insidious predilection of contemporary academia to virulently destroy any sense of personal responsibility in anyone except the "privileged," (and therefore ironically positing their superiority), and the predilection of contemporary conservatism to deny any civic responsibility at all, you might see why no contemporary mainstream conservative critique of contemporary America will every reach anywhere close to the heart of the real issue.

Which elements of Marxism are those? Are you sure you're not confusing them with elements introduced by modern liberals such as Rawls and Dewey?

>these other critical approaches have arisen because Marxism was inadequate for dealing with the social ills faced by various groups
The mainstream of Marxism and Neo-Marxism does not ever make the pretension of "dealing with the social ills faced by various groups" except perhaps to say that those social ills are essentially distractions to the fundamental problem of class struggle, all the way from Marx past the Frankfurt School even to the likes of Jameson and Negri.

Even cursory research will reveal that those that develop "critical approaches" to "deal with the social ills faced by various groups," if you refer to contemporary feminists, "critical race theorists," etc, are Marxists really only in name, as their primary concerns very obviously lie elsewhere far away from any common understanding of Marxism.

>There doesn’t need to be a specific intersectional theory of alienation because the marxists one is enough.
How do you easily translate man's alienation from labor into intersectional terms? How are women or blacks or fags any more alienated from their labor than any other worker? Does a black or woman or fag business owner oppress their white employees? (What about that "buy from black-owned businesses" horseshit?) I think you're wrong here.

I think most forms of modern conflict theory have their basis in Marx, or at the very least use some aspects of his work to understand relationships between groups in a society.
> The mainstream of Marxism and Neo-Marxism does not ever make the pretension of "dealing with the social ills faced by various groups" except perhaps to say that those social ills are essentially distractions to the fundamental problem of class struggle, all the way from Marx past the Frankfurt School even to the likes of Jameson and Negri.
That’s perhaps the source of its inadequacy. There are some things that can’t be explained by class alone. That’s the real reason for other critical approaches rather than to distract us from class struggle or whatever conspiracy you’ve cooked up to describe it.
> How do you easily translate man's alienation from labor into intersectional terms? How are women or blacks or fags any more alienated from their labor than any other worker?

This is something that intersectionality is readily equipped to deal with. Intersectionality can take a look at alienation from labor because it incorporates class analysis into its understanding of social relationships. The. It can look at the way that alienation is impacted or interacts with other social forces someone might experience through belonging through this or that group in order to gain a more complete understanding of the situation as a whole. A proponent would without a second thought say that a minority business could oppress white employees, but they would also look at the bigger picture and see the ways in white employees due to their whiteness might fare better than black employees both within the organization and society and even the ways in which the business owner themself experiences. This allows for a more complete understanding of the social environment and the problems within it than whatever it is you proposed could. This is pretty obvious stuff, so I don’t know if you’re ignorant or just dumb.
> I don't even know what double consciousness is, but a cursory search doesn't reveal any legitimate connection to the Marxist tradition.
I never asserted that it was. Only that it can be used in conjunction with Marxist theories of alienation to gain a more complete understanding of the situation. If you’re really not familiar with the term, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt and chalk up your issues to ignorance.

>That’s perhaps the source of its inadequacy. There are some things that can’t be explained by class alone. That’s the real reason for other critical approaches rather than to distract us from class struggle or whatever conspiracy you’ve cooked up to describe it.
Congratulations, you reached a criticism of Marxism that is as old as Marxism itself, and discovered that frameworks other than Marxism exist that people use to attempt to understand the world around them. That does not make those frameworks Marxist by nature, which you posited earlier.

>This is something that intersectionality is readily equipped to deal with. [...] This is pretty obvious stuff, so I don’t know if you’re ignorant or just dumb.
That intersectionality incorporates class analysis into its understanding of social relationships does not make intersectionality ("culturally") Marxist. To my knowledge there's been no serious attempt to synthesize the two, and doing so doesn't even really make sense considering the differences of dialectics between the two frameworks. Note the disconnect between what you admit of the black employer/white employee relationship and what we see in the zeitgeist today, again pointing to the fact that what we see today is not whatever you call cultural Marxism.

>I never asserted that it was. Only that it can be used in conjunction with Marxist theories of alienation to gain a more complete understanding of the situation.

That never asserted they were Marxist. I was responding to your point about them existing to distract from class conflict.

Again, my point wasn’t to say that intersectionality is Marxist, but that it’s capable of incorporating Marxist concepts and go beyond them to get a more complete picture.
> How does this relate at all to whether or not cultural Marxism is an appropriate term to use for what we see today?
Again, it has more to do with the fact that people today can utilize multiple frameworks to enhance their understanding of society rather than saying this or that is Marxist.

I spent a lot of time responding to specific points you made rather than relating them to the theme of the thread. Sorry for any confusion that may have caused.

My defense of the term “cultural Marxism” has little to do with whether the broad cultural movement could be considered Marxist in character, but more that these people are describing fits the broader understanding of the term”marxism” that they have. Ultimately the leftist, intellectual objection to the term is nothing more than Kim-wrested semantic argument that fails to actually address the issues being raised. Outside of the hard science, whenever intellectuals and those who are consciously anti-intellectual clash, the latter always win.

That's literally what happened in Venezuela.

All the corporations, including the media, were supportive of Hugo Chávez to be "hip" and gain support with the intellectual class and university students (most of which were Marxists.) Chávez himself denied being a Marxist before the elections and changed his tune afterwards.

Once he attained power all the corporations and media tried to reverse course when he began to fuck with them, but it was too late. They were either expropriated, bankrupt or left the country. Today Venezuela has 0 independent, private, media left and less corporations than in the 1940s.

> but more that these people are describing fits the broader understanding of the term”marxism” that they have. Ultimately the leftist, intellectual objection to the term is nothing more than Kim-wrested semantic argument that fails to actually address the issues being raised

Not the same guy, but my understanding behind using the term "cultural marxism" in the first place is mostly driven by:

1) it being a convenient "boogeyman" because part of the "broader understanding" that people have about marxism is that it is evil and god-fearing Americans should hate it and anything attached to it immediately, and

1a) to attach to a Bircher-like/"None Dare Call It Conspiracy" feeling as a plausible explanation for why the ideology in question has gained so much ground.

I feel like the impetus behind the semantic argument is to attempt to move away from these (in my opinion very purposefully chosen) negative connotations, because any attempt to address the "actual issues being raised" are not going to happen in good faith with this type of hazy intellectual framing. Ferreting out what people actually mean when they talk about this stuff and where they think the missteps are could be a better way to get to those real issues.

At the very least starting with semantics is a helpful parsing mechanism for figuring out who actually knows what they are talking about and who doesn't (see this thread for evidence).

Simple: whites, by definition, cannot be oppressed. The whites are settlers that benefit from labor extracted from the global south, which invalidates Spivakian strategic essentialism. A white "person" (reminder that whites aren't people) is a member of a collective delineated by their oppressor status vis a vis folk taxonomy, a beneficiary of systemic alignments in SES per McIntosh's criteria. Or you can think of the average white in the terms of Fanon's psychoexistentialist crisis -
>whites are a conditioning class, they exist to subsume others in nested hierarchies of privation by degree of ancestry associated with whiteness.
The loss of ability to formally acknowledge any presumption of superiority, despite benefiting explicitly from systemically unjust institutions (implicit privilege), creates internal conflict which causes whites to either ally with, or oppose, the group's they've oppressed. Ironically, a white can never truly align themselves with their victims as members of the dominant class. Which makes them the forever-oppressor, no matter who has possession of Master's Tools. When whiteness can no longer be synonymized, the dregs can join the collective. Fash types think this is a forge-by-fire allowance, which is cute.

>Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels believed that an international proletarian revolution would bring about a socialist society which would then eventually give way to a communist stage of social development which would be a classless, stateless, moneyless, humane society erected on common ownership of the means of production and the principle of "From each according to their ability, to each according to their needs". Marxism rejected egalitarianism in the sense of greater equality between classes, clearly distinguishing it from the socialist notion of the abolition of classes based on the division between workers and owners of productive property. Marx's view of classlessness was not the subordination of society to a universal interest such as a universal notion of equality, but it was about the creation of the conditions that would enable individuals to pursue their true interests and desires, making Marx's notion of communist society radically individualistic.

Marx was a proponent of two principles, with the first ("To each according to his contribution") being applied to socialism and the second ("To each according to their needs") to an advanced communist society. Although his position is often confused or conflated with distributive egalitarianism in which only the goods and services resulting from production are distributed according to a notional equality, Marx eschewed the entire concept of equality as abstract and bourgeois in nature, preferring to focus on more concrete principles such as opposition to exploitation on materialist grounds and economic logic.

Yes, progressivism is Marxist. Just not in the way that most people think. Communism is a proposed end-point for history that will occur when modern modes of production eventually erode all classes, borders, states, nations, cultures and religions. Since the world will be collectivized, we will share all labor and production. As we can clearly observe right now with liberal capitalism and globalization, all our social norms are collapsing as Marx predicted. Capitalism is constantly in crisis, socialism is popular again, gender is being erased through transgenderism, religion is plummeting, sexuality is fluid, marriage is dying, fertility rates are in hell, the list goes on.

This means that progressives, AKA the liberals and leftists who support all of these developments, really are fulfilling Marxism because they are driving the liberal system into implosion by embracing its worst consequences. It’s exactly as Marx predicted — the revolutionary self-abolition of capitalism, the dialectical step to socialism and eventual communism through the system’s contradictions. I have yet to see anyone refute this analysis since it perfectly aligns with Marxism. The true Marxists of our era are Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, AOC, and Nikita Dragun.

Completely wrong. How could you even type this out? Every single intersectional theorist owes their ideals to Marx. Class is integrated into their analysis as one of many oppressions. It’s not the defining factor but for most Marxists in America it’s extremely easy to just take the bulk of intersectionality and then tie it all to capitalism. That’s usually what they do.

That Marxism is necessarily revolutionary is another reason why cultural Marxism doesn't make sense as a term for what we see today, as it is essentially integrationist: "Everyone must be able to consume under this system equally."

It's hard to take the argument up from a more (modern) orthodox Marxist perspective because I'm not familiar with contemporary viewpoints, but on the surface I'd be inclined to agree. The victim cults' rampant individualism is anathema, as are their demands which only go as far as asking for (ostensibly) equal participation in the system rather than its destruction. Obvious they are typically members of the proletariat first and foremost, but at this point they may be likened to Marx's criminals. Might be my prejudice towards them but I don't see them jumping ship from their dogma for a more collective proletarian movement.

>The term suggests a relationship where there is none
The relationship is crystal clear. The entire modern idpol shitfest is informed by the Foucaultian opressor-opressed power dynamics model which he lifted straight up from Marxism and applied to everything he could lay his grubby little manlet hands on. This much is evident even to smoothbrain poltards and you'd have to be deliberately obtuse to not see this connection.
>Using it blinds the users from recognizing the real mechanisms at work and instead chalks it all up to a boogeyman
This is the problem with pseuds. You'd much rather spend several hours arguing about utterly inconsequential terminology choices than reveal any original thoughts on the actual topic at hand (or at the very least on the bait book in oppic). Does the term Cultural Marxism cause any genuine confusion? No, everyone ITT knows precisely which set of phenomena it denotes. Did anyone surmise that BLM-twittertrannies with aposematically colored hair belong to the same ideological club as Stalinist/Maoist tankies, who'd gladly roll the former over with an APC, or dropout neets, who spend their entire time in Discord telling each other to read more theory? No, not even the sneediest election tourist would go that far. Is anyone going to get sued by the Karl Marx estate for inappopriate usage of the term or libel? Unlikely. Is "proper Marxism" even present on the modern political landscape in tangible quantities to warrant being pedantic about labels? Not at all. So at the end of the day you're here droning on and on about something of absolutely no substance. All your meticulously measured turns of phrase with carefully inlaid namedrops, all the "brilliant" adhoc historic departures, that no doubt made you quietly chortle as you felt enlightened by your own intelligence while typing them out, all the supposedly clever comebacks and gotchas, they all amount to little more than an ornate youtube comment. Something a precocious teenager might say like "ackshually communism is an utopian stateless end-goal of the socialist movement, so 'communist state' is an oxymoron" or "Marx denied being a marxist" and smugly go back to fondling himself over the idea of being Saussure 2.0. You are the reason we find ourselves in the current state of neolib decay. You and every other faggot who thinks his vapid ramblings bring forth something substantial to the overall political discourse. I sincerely hope some rightoid reactionaries seize power in one of the Western states and go on to actively stamp out the moldy pseudointellectual brainrot cult that is modern day academic leftism, ever more interested in churning out vain autofellatory palavers than generating authentic ideas of merit and utility. I know by that point you're itching to reply with some standard formalism-obsessed bugman tripe like "nomenclature is very important to intellectually honest debates" and you shouldn't even bother.

What are you even talking about dumbfuck, Lenin was the blueprint for leftists worshiping The Party. Every leftist has the DNA of Lenin — his resentment, his religious devotion to ideology, his arrogance, etc. You can’t possibly define “Leftism” in any other way. It’s simply an ideological label that idolizes oppression and desires all people to have equal participation in the modern world, hence their dislike of colonialism. It’s not that they disagree with Western ideals or modernity, it’s just that they don’t want straight white men to hold the monopoly on those values. They must be “represented” and their identities must “intersect” within the system. The core of today’s woke shit is just that mixture of envy and resentment. It doesn’t go any deeper. The system stays the exact same and leftists are the agents of its decadence. You still have liberal capitalism destroying the world, leftists just want more rainbow-haired LGBT minorities doing it instead of just white people.

Where exactly are there conservatives in positions of power, where are they?
How and in which way are they "conserving" anything? they simply don't exist anymore.

This of course opens up a whole host of spoon fed talking points which are really easy to dismantle. Ask them to take a step back and see where society has headed during the past 10 years. Remember when Obama said that marriage was between a man and a woman? by the end of his 2nd mandate, not only was gay marriage legal, but also we where fighting over to which bathrooms should trans people use. Are the big banks and CEOs conservative?

in the article from the times that released last week we know that Zuckerberg donated over 300 million to pro biden campaigners, not only that, but also they where having weekly meetings at his house talking about how to make Biden the winner. Besos donated 10 million to BLM after George Floyd, google donated 12 million, microsoft 1,5 million and so on.

Even with "conservative" leaders, even during the Trump mandate, we went so far as to people getting banned from twitter or right out fired for saying that trans women are not women or the fact that Trump himself still being president got shadow banned from all social media sites. So again, where and how exactly are this spooky backwards conservatives holding any power or decision making in society? ask them to point it out to you.

These people will just deny reality and twist it back on to you. For instance: they will claim that all the media companies (including CNN, and so on) are right wing capitalists, or run by them. And they believe that universities are filled with neoliberals who don't do enough about equality, fairness, diversity, etc.

You can see this right now with the border crisis. Under Obama this wasn't a problem, because Obama good, then Trump committed crimes against humanity with his policies, and now good old Joe is back and we can breathe a sigh of relief, all is well again. And supporting BLM is just something "good" people do, even conservatives should do it. At no point does any thinking occur in their brains. That's another reason why people are now turning against Cuomo. It's because he's now an approved target and thus the story of the nursing homes we all knew for a year is covered in detail.

Debates about property and economics are cringe and not fundamental to left / right. Neoliberalism IS the contemporary left wing movement.

Doing the "real leftism is muh retro Marxism from 200 years ago" is a tired cope for white people who don't want to bend the knee to identity politics.

The political left is technological society’s first line of defense against revolution. In fact, the left today serves as a kind of fire extinguisher that douses and quenches any nascent revolutionary movement. What do I mean by “the left ”? If you think that racism, sexism, gay rights, animal rights, indigenous people’s rights, and “social justice” in general are among the most important issues that the world currently faces, then you are a leftist as I use that term. If you don’t like this application of the world “leftist,” then you are free to designate the people I’m referring to by some other term. But, whatever you call them, the people who extinguish revolutionary movements are the people who are drawn indiscriminately to causes: racism, sexism, gay rights, animal rights, the environment, poverty, sweatshops, neocolonialism…it’s all the same to them. These people constitute a subculture that has been labeled “the adversary culture.” Whenever a movement of resistance begins to emerge, these leftists (or whatever you choose to call them) come swarming to it like flies to honey until they outnumber the original members of the movement, take it over, and turn it into just another leftist faction, thereby emasculating it.

Ok, let me summarize, taxation has historically been much lower, governments have been smaller. Note that the same graph shows a top marginal income tax rate of 7% before ww1. That's why taxation as seen today is unparalleled historically, as is the size of the government. This is primarily because the government is now liable to give gibs to everybody in society.

Intensifying poverty, shoving people into sweatshops, and expanding neocolonialism? I mean if you're a conservative who supports capitalism, then okay, that's a position.

mussolini for example spent more on education during his entire reign than italy ever did when it was first united.

Somalia is not a humanitarian disaster; it is an evolutionary disaster. The current drought is not the worst in 50 years, as the BBC and all the aid organisations claim. It is nothing compared to the droughts in 1960/61 or 73/74. And there are continuing droughts every five years or so. It's just that there are now four times the population; having been kept alive by famine relief, supplied by aid organisations, over the past 50 years. So, of course, the effects of any drought now, is a famine. They cannot even feed themselves in a normal rainfall year.
Worst yet, the effects of these droughts, and poor nutrition in the first three years of a child's life, have a lasting effect on the development of the infant brain, so that if they survive, they will never achieve a normal IQ. Consequently, they are selectively breeding a population who cannot be educated, let alone one that is being educated; a recipe for disaster.
We are seeing this impact now, and it can only exacerbate, to the detriment of their neighbours, and their environment as well. This scenario can only end in an even worse disaster; with even worse suffering, for those benighted people, and their descendants. Eventually, some mechanism will intervene, be it war, disease or starvation.
So what do we do? Let them starve? What a dilemma for our Judeo/Christian/Islamic Ethos; as well as Hindu/Buddhist morality. And this is beginning to happen in Kenya, Ethiopia, and other countries in Asia, like Pakistan. Is this the beginning of the end of civilisation?
AFRICA is giving nothing to anyone outside Africa — apart from AIDS and new disease. Even as we see African states refusing to take action to restore something resembling civilisation in Zimbabwe, the Begging bowl for Ethiopia is being passed around to us out of Africa, yet again. It is nearly 25 years since the famous Feed The World campaign began in Ethiopia, and in that time Ethiopia's population has grown from 33.5 million to 78+ million today. So, why on earth should I do anything to encourage further catastrophic demographic growth in that country? Where is the logic? There is none.
To be sure, there are two things saying that logic doesn't count. One is my conscience, and the other is the picture, yet again, of another wide-eyed child, yet again, gazing, yet again, at the camera, which yet again, captures the tragedy of children starving.

Sorry. My conscience has toured this territory on foot and financially. Unlike most of you, I have been to Ethiopia; like most of you, I have stumped up the loot to charities to stop starvation there. The wide-eyed boy-child we saved, 20 years or so ago, is now a low IQ, AK 47-bearing moron, siring children whenever the whim takes him, and blaming the world because he is uneducated, poor and left behind. There is no doubt a good argument why we should prolong this predatory and dysfunctional economic, social and sexual system but I do not know what it is.

There is, on the other hand, every reason not to write a column like this. It will win no friends, and will provoke the self-righteous wrath of, well, the self-righteous, hand wringing, letter writing wrathful individuals, a species which never fails to contaminate almost every debate in Irish life with its sneers and its moral superiority. It will also probably enrage some of the finest men in Irish life, like John O'Shea, of Goal; and the Finucane brothers, men whom I admire enormously.

So be it. But, please, please, you self-righteously wrathful, spare me mention of our own Irish Famine, with this or that lazy analogy. There is no comparison. Within 20 years of the Famine, the Irish population was down by 30%. Over the equivalent period, thanks to Western food, the Mercedes 10-wheel truck and the Lockheed Hercules planes, Ethiopia's population has more than doubled.

Alas, that wretched country is not alone in its madness. Somewhere, over the rainbow, lies Somalia, another fine land of violent, AK 47-toting, khat-chewing, girl-circumcising, permanently tumescent layabouts, and housing pirates of the ocean. Indeed, we now have almost an entire continent of sexually hyperactive, illiterate indigents, with tens of millions of people who only survive because of help from the outside world or allowances by the semi-communist Governments they voted for, money supplied by lending it from the World Bank!

This dependency has not stimulated political prudence or commonsense. Indeed, voodoo idiocy seems to be in the ascendant, with the president of South Africa being a firm believer in the efficacy of a little tap water on the post-coital penis as a sure preventative against AIDS infection. Needless to say, poverty, hunger and societal meltdown have not prevented idiotic wars involving Tigre, Uganda, Congo, Sudan, Somalia, Eritrea etcetera.

Broad brush-strokes, to be sure. But broad brush-strokes are often the way that history paints its gaudier, if more decisive, chapters. Japan, China, Russia, Korea, Poland, Germany, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia in the 20th century have endured worse broad brush-strokes than almost any part of Africa. They are now — one way or another — virtually all giving aid to or investing in Africa, whereas Africa, with its vast savannahs and its lush pastures, is giving almost nothing to anyone, apart from AIDS.

Meanwhile, Africa's peoples are outstripping their resources, and causing catastrophic ecological degradation. By 2050, the population of Ethiopia will be 177 million; the equivalent of France, Germany and Benelux today, but located on the parched and increasingly protein-free wastelands of the Great Rift Valley. So, how much sense does it make for us actively to increase the adult population of what is already a vastly over-populated, environmentally devastated and economically dependent country?

How much morality is there in saving an Ethiopian child from starvation today, for it to survive to a life of brutal circumcision, poverty, hunger, violence and sexual abuse, resulting in another half-dozen such wide-eyed children, with comparably jolly little lives ahead of them. Of course, it might make you feel better, which is a prime reason for so much charity!

But that is not good enough. For self-serving generosity has been one of the curses of Africa. It has sustained political systems which would otherwise have collapsed. It prolonged the Eritrean-Ethiopian war by nearly a decade. It is inspiring Bill Gates' programme to rid the continent of malaria, when, in the almost complete absence of personal self-discipline, that disease is one of the most efficacious forms of population-control now operating. If his programme is successful, tens of millions of children who would otherwise have died in infancy will survive to adulthood, he boasts.

Wrong. Libertarianism as defined by the maximization of individual freedom can only be achieved through people having economic freedom, which is dependent on either the labor market (where individuals without capital will always be exploited by individuals with capital) or through government redistribution of economic choice (direct cash works best). You have fallen into a rhetorical trap, like claiming that regulations can't exists in a free market, when the reality is ONLY with regulation can a free market exist, since monopolies by definition close the market and will always appear eventually without regulation against them.

Standard Oil controlled 90% of the US oil refining business in 1880. This was 33 years before the founding of the Federal Reserve. They would purposely lower prices, often below cost, to drive competition out of business before raising prices again (a tactic Amazon recently used to drive Diapers Dot Com under). In 1911, the Supreme Court ruled unanimously that Standard Oil was a monopoly that illegally restrained trade.

To reiterate, monopolies form because businesses who gain power can then use that power to sabotage their competition, thus expanding their own market share and giving greater freedom to set prices to the upper bounds (the maximum people will pay) rather than in a healthy competition where different companies compete at the lower bound of prices (how cheaply they can sell goods while still making a profit).
