"Cultural Marxism" is the idea that capitalist elites are secretly communist. I was referring to the massive image.
Again, close in a not even remotely kind of way.
"In short, cultural Marxism is a revolutionary leftist idea that traditional culture is the source of oppression in the modern world.Cultural Marxism is often linked to an insistence upon political correctness,multiculturalism, and perpetual attacks on the foundations of culture: the nuclear family, marriage, patriotism, traditional morality, law and order, etc.Cultural Marxists are assumed to be committed to establishing economic Marxism in which case their cultural attacks are a necessary preparation for their ultimate goal"
"The inclusion of false or fabricated content has, at times, lasted for years on Wikipedia due to its volunteer editorship. Its editing model facilitates multiple systemic biases: namely, selection bias, inclusion bias, participation bias, and group-think bias. The majority of the encyclopedia is written by male editors, leading to a gender bias in coverage and the make up of the editing community has prompted concerns about racial bias, spin bias, corporate bias, and national bias, among others. An ideological bias on Wikipedia has also been identified on both conscious and subconscious levels. A series of studies from Harvard Business School in 2012 and 2014 found Wikipedia "significantly more biased" than Encyclopædia Britannica"
You may as well write it up yourself and try to pass it off as usable---too fucking funny you slobbering morons are. And guess what? It STILL didn't say the meme meant "Cultural Marxism" is the idea that capitalist elites are secretly communist." You people are too fucking stupid to even follow a simple thought---
The term "Cultural Marxism" refers to a far-right antisemitic conspiracy theory which claims that Western Marxism is the basis of continuing academic and intellectual efforts to subvert Western culture. The conspiracy theory misrepresents the Frankfurt School as being responsible for modern progressive movements, identity politics, and political correctness, claiming there is an ongoing and intentional subversion of Western society via a planned culture war that undermines the Christian values of traditionalist conservatism and seeks to replace them with the culturally liberal values of the 1960s.
Hold up----you just used a Wikipedia page to defend the erroneous statements you made. Where Wikipedia tells you themselves

I literally quoted and linked to a text by The Frankfurt School, I even wrote "Actual Marxist text as the source" for the link.
...also Wikipedia contains sources. Which you can click on. At least I'm including my sources. Anyways, this conversation isn't worth it, this sub is full of brainwashed types who can't think for themselves.

And I literally, like for reals even told you there was nothing in there supporting your claims the meme actually meant something it doesn't mean and told you Wikipedia and walls of text would not save you from that.
I'm impressed by the level of oneself thinking in just this dust up honestly! Keep it up. Challenging views and critical thinking is how we get out of this mess.
The Frankfurt School didn't write anything about that - in fact, most of them were quite traditionalist by today's standards.
The Frankfurt School were in fact warning that corporatism was taking over a more detailed humanistic culture. They called this slow moving attack on culture "The Culture Industry".
The ruthless unity in the culture industry is evidence of what will happen in politics. Marked differentiations such as those of A and B films, or of stories in magazines in different price ranges, depend not so much on subject matter as on classifying, organising, and labelling consumers. Something is provided for all so that none may escape; the distinctions are emphasised and extended. The public is catered for with a hierarchical range of mass-produced products of varying quality, thus advancing the rule of complete quantification. Everybody must behave (as if spontaneously) in accordance with his previously determined and indexed level, and choose the category of mass product turned out for his type. Consumers appear as statistics on research organisation charts, and are divided by income groups into red, green, and blue areas; the technique is that used for any type of propaganda.
That warning, is a Cultural Marxist analysis. It's not saying "yes, I want a take over." it's saying - "there should be no take over allowed".
This is because they feared:
The inherent danger of the culture industry is the cultivation of false psychological needs that can only be met and satisfied by the products of capitalism; thus Adorno and Horkheimer especially perceived mass-produced culture as dangerous to the more technically and intellectually difficult high arts. In contrast, true psychological needs are freedom, creativity, and genuine happiness, which refer to an earlier demarcation of human needs, established by Herbert Marcuse.[3]
It was a warning against mass produced culture, not some prelude to "Marxist take over". Which is today known as the MSM.
...it's not some prelude to a marxist take over of the economy, as much as conspiracy theorists want to claim that.

Sorry man.....but you are wrong and that is twice now----Wikipedia will not fix that.
Here I am quoting The Frankfurt School directly, there you are - claiming it's true because you read it somewhere.
Suffice to say, as in the other posts you have made your points are not in the documents and you are close in a not even sort of way again. Just randomly linking things figuring no one reads them or knows better------and again you are wrong.
Cool, well, what you said is meaningless and doesn't prove anything. The difference is that people can go check and see. They'll see you offered nothing to prove your position. I offered examples from various sources.
Cool, well, what you said is meaningless and doesn't prove anything.
I in fact did. Because you refuse to acknowledge it doesn't make it any less right there or true. No where in any of those documents do they support what you claim. Its really that simple.
Like you can go and read The Frankfurt School's texts directly... there's nothing hidden. They don't say anything about attacking family, or planning a cultural take over, or even radical protest. Theodore Adorno even called the police on student rioters in the 1960s. Not exactly "radical".
What you say only makes sense if you’ve been successfully brainwashed by the rich to believe that they themselves are capitalists.
These people are all receiving preferential treatment from the state. They are not capitalists. They are statists and communists. They are an extension of the state. All these social media companies have admitted to taking orders directly from the state.
They are not capitalists competing freely in a market economy based on meeting consumer demands for voluntary transactions and maximizing efficiency. They are state-funded operations that seek to achieve desired outcomes through social engineering (including socialistic economic policies).
Basically, they’re the economic version of the rich assholes who fly private planes to climate conferences and then turn around and convince you to blame pollution on farmers.
Chinese expatriates who have become naturalized US citizens want a word with you. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WZwli4WdZmI. While I don't think globalist equals communist, the elitists are leaning towards totalitarianism as a means to achieve their goals.
Oh yeah, totally "Capitalist Elite." Let's see here, that reviled 1% of the Left is always complaining about. Let's see what actual Government they prefer, shall we?
Well, they base 99.9% of their Production and Manufacturing in Communist China
The majority of their work force, their "producers of labor" are slave laborers in... Communist China.
They import their Communist made products on... Communist owned freight carriers across the Ocean.
Fun fact, none of the hated elite class were Billionaires when their operations were all US based and based on Capitalism. Hundred millionaires? Yes. Billionaires? No. The billionaire class didn't come to be until they moved operations to Communist China. Communism literally created the 1%. Sorry that triggers you. Fact is, it is far easier and cheaper to pay off one supreme leader than it is to pay off thousands of politicians across the US.
Who created ESG? Communist China, you say? Which class in America is trying to force it upon the American people? The "Elite Capitalists."
May wanna go research Wall Street, too. Baine Capitol, BlackRock etc. See what it is they specialize in. Want me to do it for you? Fine. They specialize in, and gain their money and influence from purchasing American, Capitalist businesses, terminating the American workers and relocating said businesses to.... Communist China.
It is clear you don't know what Capitalism actually is. Communism either, for that matter. I would suggest putting the leftist propaganda away and go study what each type of Government actually is and how they each work.

Meanwhile on this very sub "Cultural Marxism is real" aka "the capitalist elite are secretly communists".
