Chapter 17 - Cultural Marxism Simplified
Marxist ideology is built on a framework of class warfare. Originally, it was postulated that the proletariat (workers) would clash with the bourgeoisie (property owners) resulting in a revolutionary class struggle that would destroy capitalistic governments and replace them with socialist systems.
Such a worker's revolution never actually happened, but the Bolshevik Revolution[i] combined Marxist ideology with overwhelming violence and succeeded in establishing a totalitarian socialist state known as the USSR. Subsequently, Mao Zedong[ii] combined Marxist theory with civil war resulting in a totalitarian state controlled by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
The colossal failures of these two large socialist states resulted in the death of over 100 million people and the enslavement of billions. It has now become clear that Marxist Ideology has generated more misery than anything else in the history of the world.
Eventually, the USSR collapsed, and China was saved from collapse by capitalistic innovations. Socialism failed and is doomed to everlasting failure because it is founded on theft rather than productivity. Logically, the great socialist nightmare should have been consigned to the compost pile.
In what may be history's greatest example of trickery, deceit, and triumph of falsehood, the Frankfurt School[iii] of thought snatched evil from the jaws of defeat by advancing theories that came to be known as Cultural Marxism. Since capitalism increases productivity and prosperity, which generally leads to widespread peace and contentment, the Proletariat vs. Bourgeoisie conflict is not effective and essentially dies on the vine. Therefore, Cultural Marxism cleverly redefined the class definitions to foment the greatest degree of conflict between various groups of people.
Cultural Marxism is rooted in conflict and cannot function or survive without animosity existing between groups of people in order to stir them up to revolution. Here's the simple formula for how Cultural Marxism works:
Proletariat Victim vs. Bourgeoisie Oppressor
Using this framework makes it possible to substitute or repurpose virtually any group of people into the destructive Marxist equation. Many years ago, Cultural Marxist revolutionaries decided on the substitute classes that are now being used to foment class warfare. Some of the revised equations that have been established are:
Proletariat Race vs. Bourgeoisie Any other race
Proletariat Black vs. Bourgeoisie White
Proletariat Natives vs. Bourgeoisie Settlers
Proletariat Israelis (Jews) vs. Bourgeoisie Arabs (Palestinians, etc.)
Certainly, there can be improvements in race relations, but that does not seem to be the goal. For example, some BLM leaders have openly declared that they are Marxists and that they are seeking to destroy capitalism and replace it with socialism. Many celebrities are promoting Cultural Marxist ideas that lead to class warfare misery. Many sincere people have been tricked into chanting “Black Lives Matter” or "From the River to the Sea" thinking they are fighting for equality, when in reality they may be fighting for slavery in the form of Marxism, which could end in widespread suffering and death—just as it has many times before.
Phil Schneider[iv] has described what's happening this way: "America is in the throes of a racist movement that uses the accusations of racism in order to grab totalitarian power in the United States." Scott Morefield[v] has clarified: "Make no mistake, the roots of the Black Lives Matter movement are Marxist to the core. Far from obtaining real justice for black people or anyone else, its ultimate aim is to…burn Western civilization to the ground. If you want to know what sort of society they’d replace it with, you only need to look to the histories of Bolshevik Russia or Maoist China."
Another major Cultural Marxist equation currently ripping through society is:
Proletariat/Rioters vs. Bourgeoisie/Cops
Historically, Cultural Marxists have consistently tried to neutralize law enforcement so that mindless mobs could advance their revolutionary cause. But the fact is, we all desperately need the rule of law—upheld by law enforcement officers—to protect us from criminals and Marxists.
Another equation:
Proletariat/Radical Environmentalists vs. Bourgeoisie/Producers
Certainly, we need to protect the environment, but carbon-based Climate Change has been proven to be a hoax.[vi] The class struggle generated by climate extremists would destroy our economy and result in massive poverty and death which could be multiplied by the socialism it seeks to achieve.
Sexual classes can also be plugged into the Cultural Marxism equation:
Proletariat/Radical Genderism vs. Bourgeoisie/Sexually Monogamous Heterosexuals
Radical Genderism seeks to cancel the meaning of physical sex, destroy families, and sexualize children.
Religious classes also work like a charm in the Cultural Marxist equation:
Proletariat/Radical Islam vs. Bourgeoisie/Christians
In this paradigm of religious antagonism, people can criticize, persecute, and kill Christians all they want, but if someone dares to say that Radical Islam is not a religion of peace, it's labeled class hatred, and those saying it are in danger of being killed.[vii]
Another equation:
Proletariat/Socialists vs. Bourgeoisie/Gun Owners
Marxists always try to disarm the population as quickly as possible, because they know that people will fight as soon as they realize their socialist masters are taking everything they have and killing them. You had better hang on to your guns because if the left wins, you're going to need them.
Another equation:
Proletariat/Social Justice Warriors vs. Bourgeoisie/Capitalists
In case you haven't figured it out yet, Social Justice is doublespeak[viii] for Communism, and Communism is definitely not fair, just, or merciful. As has always been the case, Social Justice is Counterfeit Justice and private property is the foundation of prosperity.
And finally, this sad equation:
Proletariat/Establishment Politicians vs. Bourgeoisie/Patriots
Some establishment politicians have postulated that patriots weaken their position by not being sympathetic enough to millennial concerns about social justice and climate change. Like so many others, they seem to be "useful idiots" assuming moral and intellectual superiority while parroting the propaganda of cultural bolshevism.
Conclusion
If we embrace the Cultural Marxist Trojan Horses[ix] herein outlined it will be impossible to preserve peace, or anything else, because Marxist warriors—bent on finding and fomenting revolutionary conflict wherever they go—will crush the life out of our freedom, families, religion, and country in the name of peace, equality, and justice.
