Seems like we have the same laws in Australia.
You can be charged if you say something that might offend someone -
that could even be reading a few lines from the Bible
that either someone doesn't like or that someone is offended by or a cop
thinks that someone might be offended by.

Finally - communism has won the cold war.

Antonio Gramsci

Cultural Marxism is a branch of Marxist ideology formulated by the Frankfurt School, which had its origins the early part of the twentieth century. Cultural Marxism comprises much of the foundation of political correctness. It emerged as a response of European Marxist intellectuals disillusioned by the early political failures of conventional economic Marxist ideology.[1]

The central idea of Cultural Marxism is to soften up and prepare Western Civilization for economic Marxism after a gradual, relentless, sustained attack on every institution of Western culture,[2] including schools,[3] literature, art, film, the Judeo-Christian worldview, tradition, marriage and the family,[4] sexual mores, national sovereignty, etc.[5] The attacks are usually framed in Marxist terms as a class struggle between oppressors and oppressed; the members of the latter class allegedly include women, minorities, homosexuals, and adherents of non-Western ideologies such as Islam. Cultural Marxism has been described as "the cultural branch of globalism."[6]

While Marx's Communist Manifesto focused on the alleged class struggle between bourgeois (owners of the means of production) and proletariat (workers), Marx did address culture, which he intimated would change after his economic vision was implemented. Patrick Buchanan argues that Cultural Marxism succeeded where Marx failed.[7] Marxism has permeated the American Left.[8]

Are we talking about leftist woke progressive ideology here ?

Or can we agree that it is more Authoritarian in nature ?

Rubbish cultural marxism isn't a thing, just a right wing conspiracy theory.

Over 80% of Democrats in the US are corporate democrats. On matters of economy they are the same as US republicans. They are market capitalists.

he has expensive hard cover copies of 3 of the Books from Karl Marx

That is the lesson from history. Today, the world has flipped on it's head. The "left" is trying to silence people for criticising religion, opposing the death penalty for homosexuality, standing up for personal freedoms etc. The left has adopted a religion that is as close as it gets to Nazism. They have also adopted the only political ideology responsible for more deaths than Nazism. The left is also currently trying to rebrand racism to improve its image.

The only person I didn't object to calling me comrade was Gough Whitlam, I let him get away with it.

Dnarever wrote on Jun 18^th, 2023 at 6:49pm:


Yeah, Gough always started speeches to the Party faithful that way.

I saw Whitlam and Dunstan leave some function, state conference or some such—the difference in.body size was immense and comic.

You have, as always, not a shred of evidence for your allegations!

You are, basically, just trolling.

You are also very creepy.

Gordon got really foul

Baron is an idiot who continued to use the word “Mong” in my MRB tho having had a previous ban for it. I can’t help idiots but I do not have to put up with them in my board.

lee would argue some point about about AGW 10, 12 times. I have no time for that sort of idiot.

You are a thief and blackmailer and tried it just once to often.


I guess it all amounts to the political right being arrogant arseholes, thieves, doxxers and creeps.
