University Law and Cultural Marxism

Wednesday, 16 April 2025

One Australian university PhD law course, which requires students to critique their thesis based on Marxist, feminist, critical race and queer theory, has come under media attention, as reported below. Previously there was media attention to claims that law students faced the threat of failing one part of an exam if they performed an underwhelming acknowledgment of country. It is far from clear why, ideology aside, any sort of welcome to country must be performed in the first place. If such ceremonies were law, which they are not, then there needs to be a black letter statement that can be formally read, rather than White people making something up, however clever.

According to the report below: "PhD students are required to complete 120 hours of compulsory research skills training in part from "critical legal studies, international law and theory, feminism and philosophy." But this philosophical framework is cultural Marxism, and while there are grounds for students knowing about this, 120 hours compulsory training sounds more like brainwashing. But we should not see this as isolated incident, as my guess is across the country similar things are occurring in at the universities, as cultural Marxism gets its claws and fangs into law education.

"Students and academics have criticised Monash University's PhD law course, which forces students to critique their thesis based on Marxist, feminist, critical race and queer theory, as one student claimed they were "expected" to include "critical law theory" in their black letter law thesis, and said the approach was "destroying legal academia".

You guys know that Karl Marx died around 150 years ago right ?

Ah, the duckwit view of the world - it's a new one every time you turn around in your little pond.

Yes, a new view of what is possible, carrying on from Marx's philosophy and ethics (if not his now obsolete economics, in an increasingly post industrial ecomomy) re his vision of a just "communist" society.

Stop being a tight-a*se conservative.

TGD reckons he's not a cultural Marxist. Roll Eyes

Why do you say that?

("Please explain"...?)

You wrote

Quote:

Whoever came up with your quoted interpretation of what Marx said
is obviously a sinister, lying, anti-'communist' ideologue.

The quote is correct. Roll Eyes

So you ARE a lying, anti-'communist'/Marxist ideologue....(or just low IQ....not sinister, just unfortunate; I forgive you).

"The principle refers to free access to and distribution of goods, capital and services".

What "principle"?

Certainly NOT referring to working for a living "according to his ability"...

"Please explain".....

No - you can explain your Marxist philosophy.

I explained YOUR error by referring to the quote supplied by Frank.

Marx was philosophizing about how work and reward for individuals would manifest themselves in a future post- "vulgar socialist" society, in a true communist society ie "from each according to abilty" etc. ie, fair/ethical outcomes not determined by competition between individuals based on differening abilities.

Frank of couse ignored my response, thinking he had proved your case re "from each according to his ability" etc. that it meant "free" access to goods etc but if you read Marx's text, that is not the case, rather it means ethical access to goods and services in a post industrial society.

Meanwhile you didn't acknowledge the error in your absurd assertion "DEI is unfair", when it is a-moral competition minus regard for just social outcomes (eg freedom from systemic poverty) which is the cause of economic unfairness.

Anytime, I'm here to help overcome your primitive survival of the fittest world view: ie, survival of those most able to compete in the race to accrue necessary resources for themselves, without any regard to the outcomes for those least able to compete.

[Did you see the National Press Club debate on housing today?

Only at the end did the topic of social housing arise, to ensure housing for those who will never be able to afford to buy a house, or pay rents in the overpriced private sector.

Both parties have drunk the neoliberal cool-aide for 50 years, and now the chickens are coming home to roost].

I don't think you understood any of that quote. I supplied the link to the full text, maybe you want to have a look.
Just a leg-up: when he talked about vulgar socialism ( your kind of nonsense, the Greens' kind of nonsense), he said it Is just an adoption, unchanged, of burgeois production with socialist distribution tagged on (I paraphrase).

The 'each according to his ability' wheeze referred to a utopia, a sloganeering nonsense, a time when the 'engineersof human souls' have transformed everyone to some 19th century romantic ideal of " Rousseau as post-industrial Ubermensch" of sorts. That quote again:

In a higher phase of communist society, after the enslaving subordination of the individual to the division of labor, and therewith also the antithesis between mental and physical labor, has vanished; after labor has become not only a means of life but life's prime want; after the productive forces have also increased with the all-around development of the individual, and all the springs of co-operative wealth flow more abundantly – only then can the narrow horizon of bourgeois right be crossed in its entirety and society inscribe on its banners: From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs!

It's all nonsense by a graphomaniac autodidact with a bee in his bonnet - hence it's legion of followers and imitators to this day.
