Well Frank the two previous posts do not have a single word related to Cultural Marxism. They refer to some connection between what Karl Marx said around 150 years ago to CRT (Critical race theory and  Critical legal studies) CLS. which on the face seems absurd. However how it was derived does in no way mitigate that these theories seem to have substance. These ideas could well have been developed from any group relying on thought backed by fact.

Though it does seem a stretch to relate it back to Karl Marx's ecanomic theory, An English ecanomic theorist who died in 1883 and had said nothing even remorely related. It was never easy to take the 20th century people who were associated with Marxism to be taken seriously when their discussions in these areas had nothing to do with marxism at all. They were clearly pushing theor own barrows.


Marx was not an 'English economc theorist.' Your ignorance and your pride in it, are limitless.



Marxism is a method of social, cultural, economic, historical etc analysis.

It is not entirely Marx's invention. Dialectics has been around since Socrates. Marx took Hegel's dialectical analysis of history (and culture) and 'turned it upside down, by giving it a materialist foundation (instead of Hegel's idea-ism)

You do not need to have the word 'culture' in every discussion of history, society, politics, art etc since these are ALL, tegether, form culture. In Marxist terminology, culture is the superstructure on top of the economic, material foundations. the latter determining the former. That method of analyisng any subject - dialectical materialism, historical materialism - is the Marxist method and it is present in every academic discipline, even the hard sciences, but very wide spread in the soft and pseudo sciences like sociology and in the arts, histoy and literature, journalism, social work, education.

It long predates any narrow, American  "cultural Marxism'  that wikipedia talks about.

Marx was not an 'English


Correct he was German but lived in London for 35 years.

It is insane to believe that there is a cultural marxism arm that has members in the Marxist family or that there is even a marxist family of organisations.

Marx's comments relating to culture was simply to explain it as a tool used by capitalists.

There simply has never been a marxist group dedicated to Culture. There has never been such a thing as a cultural marxist except in demented right wing fiction.

You are an ignorant idiot hung up on petty words. If Marxism is not explicitly referenced then there's nuffin' to see here.

But in your strident idiocy you do not recognise that you attribute 'right wing' or far right' or 'conservative' even when these words are not explicitly mentioned. You ARE an idiot. Ignorant, unread, unlettered - and you make up for all those shortcomings with being stridently stupid.
You have zero self-awareness, zero sense of proportion, zero learning, zero insight. All idiotic monomaniacal repetition. Wiki.

There are piles of images and lists relation to Marxist structure. None of them mention cultural Marxism. If Culture is mentioned at all it is a little comment over 10 layers down.

You even have Marx himself talking about Culture as a tool of the capitalists, Directly stating the exact opposite of what this topic is trying to say.


Marxism V DEI.

And yet still you have zero cultural marxists to name ? I see ?

You would have a great case if somehow you could replace insults for facts. All you need to do is to list one genuine cultural marxist and you win but alas there are none.

The ABC and SBS tells you all the time what to do, what to think and what to feel.    Undecided


No they don't; apart from presenting news as it happens,  they do present ideas for the listener's consideration.

Spot the difference from your absurd assertion? 

fyi, I'm no dount as often repulsed by their mainstream economic analysis as you are by their (according to you) "cultural Marxism".

Go figure...





No - they are so clever about it that you don't realise that they are brainwashing you.


Neither the ABC or SBS have a cultural marxist department or any members or policy, programming or anything else. The only thing I watch on TV is sport, I havn't watched TV for at least 25 years. Just how do they brainwash me ?



What about "welcome to county" ceremonies for all major sports events?    Undecided




Does being welcomed :

Tell us what to do  - No

Tell us what to think - No

Tell us how to feel - No

Is a welcome a socialist or Marxist act or principle - No

If being welcomed is anyone biggest issue I think we have a very different problem - or maybe no problem. I suggest you don't hang your hat on this one.

Who would ever guess that being welcomed is a cultural marxist inititive.

The ex-Cambridge professor thrived in a sector where woke delusions pass for academic insight.


When Cambridge University appointed Jason Arday as its youngest black professor in March 2023, the BBC released a video of his head of department greeting him in person.

‘We are so lucky to have you’, grovelled Professor Hilary Cremin, as she gripped Arday’s hands like a novice nun being introduced to the Pope. ‘You are the best in the world in terms of the research you do’, she gushed. It hasn’t aged well.

Did Arday exercise some kind of Svengali-like charm over Cremin and her team? Or were the academics just unbelievably gullible? I suspect the truth is more concerning. For Arday’s appointment is surely the most egregious example yet of the influence on our educational system of a racialised ideology that makes irrational decisions like Cremin’s almost inevitable.

In the good old days, Britain’s top universities were famous the world over for their rigorous standards and a culture that promoted success. Neither of these things is much in vogue now at Cambridge University’s education department – at least if we are to judge from an interview Cremin gave in November last year. Asked about the alleged failure of racial minorities to succeed within higher education, Cremin blamed US president Donald Trump and the populist right. She also issued a warning about the ‘psychopathology’ of success itself. ‘The people who rise to the top are the worst of us not the best of us’, Cremin declared, as if she’d forgotten how close to the top she was herself. Those who do succeed, she said, skew heavily towards the narcissistic and Machiavellian.

The joke is that she could well have been describing Jason Arday. She probably never would have made that connection, though, for the simple reason that Arday was black. And in the imagination of woke pseuds, people of colour are forever the good guys in a cosmic struggle against baddies – otherwise known as white people – who are, we must never be allowed to forget, the source of all the world’s problems.


This template comes from the gospel of race activism that dominates our educational system now – namely, critical race theory. Critical race theory’s central conviction is that racial inequality in Western institutions is not a flaw, but a design feature. Everything about an institution – from how it is organised to the things it prioritises – is supposed to keep black people down.

This means that academic standards in universities can never be considered value-free. And all for the simple reason that standards themselves, as well as the use of reason and knowledge by which they are met, are tools of white supremacy. Instead, critical race theory devotees insist there are many ‘truths’ and many ways to uncover them.
Spiked



Critical Race Theory?? Oh?! What's that?

Critical race theory (CRT) was officially organized in 1989, at the first annual Workshop on Critical Race Theory—though its intellectual origins go back much farther, to the 1960s and ’70s. Its immediate precursor was the critical legal studies (CLS) movement, which dedicated itself to examining how laws and legal institutions serve the interests of the wealthy and powerful at the expense of the poor and marginalized. (CLS, an offshoot of Marxist-oriented critical theory, may also be viewed as a radicalization of early 20th-century legal realism, a school of legal philosophy according to which judicial decision making, especially at the appellate level, is influenced as much by nonlegal—political or ideological—factors as by precedent and principles of legal reasoning.)

A bunch of teenage communists at the anti-One Nation rallies yesterday openly declared on video that they wanted to murder Pauline Hanson.

They spoke with complete confidence, knowing that they would suffer zero legal or social consequences for promoting violent left wing extremism.

Really strange that these people are not dealt with as harshly as Nazis considering communists are responsible for tens of millions of deaths.

We really do have a two tier legal system in Australia where the left wing government tacitly tolerates violent extremist left wing politics.

Here are the most prominent contemporary Marxist thinkers specializing in culture, philosophy, education, and media

Culture & Philosophy
Slavoj ˇi˛ek: Blends Marxism with psychoanalysis to deconstruct modern ideology, pop culture, and global politics.
Fredric Jameson: Though he passed away recently (in 2024), his work remains the definitive contemporary Marxist framework for analyzing postmodernism and late capitalism.
Alenka Zupančič: A Slovenian philosopher who applies materialist critiques to literature, ethics, and the concept of comedy.
Mark Fisher: His concept of "Capitalist Realism"—the widespread sense that there is no alternative to capitalism—remains foundational to modern cultural critique.

Media & Digital Technology
Jodi Dean: Explores "communicative capitalism," arguing that digital media captures our political energy and turns it into mere clicks and content.
Christian Fuchs: A leading media scholar who uses Karl Marx's critique of political economy to analyze social media, digital labor, and internet monopolies.
Nick Dyer-Witheford: Focuses on "cyber-Marxism," exploring the relationship between artificial intelligence, video games, and corporate power

Education & Pedagogy
Henry Giroux: A founding theorist of critical pedagogy who critiques how neoliberalism and corporate values dominate modern schooling.
Peter McLaren: A leading figure in revolutionary critical pedagogy who advocates for education as a tool to dismantle capitalist exploitation.
Dave Hill: A British scholar and activist focusing on the marketisation and privatisation of state education systems.

They are part of the communist 5th column waiting as an insurgency.

Google AI:

A "fifth column" is a clandestine group that undermines a nation from within
on behalf of an external enemy.
During the Cold War and mid-20th century, Western anti-communists
frequently applied the term to local communist parties,
labor activists, or sympathizers, portraying them as
loyal to the Soviet Union rather than their home countries.
