Do you realise that ALL references to cultural Marxism as nothing but a " conspiracy theory " come from very heavily lefty books and publications?
Do you realise that there is such a thing as culture and Marxism and that Marxists have done A LOT of cultural analysis, ie cultural Marxism? And that noticing that Marxists doing cultural analysis and being critical of their methods and conclusions and influence is NOT a conspiracy but.... er.... being critical of Marxist cultural critique?
Of course you don't.
Peas? Go for it.
Replace 'conspiracy theory' with 'cultural-marxism meme' and we have :
"the meme originated in the United States during the 1990s. Originally found only on the far-right political fringe, the term began to enter mainstream discourse in the 2010s and is now found globally."What part of - "Originally found only on the far-right political fringe" - do you want to deny? Obviously the far right are the mob who accuse Biden of being a "communist".....so any "marxist" tendencies are grist for the mill. eg, postive discrimination.
Ah...those nasty 'cultural marxists'
"Originally found only on the far-right political fringe" - do you want to deny?"
Of course I do. It is an assertion made by morons whose intellectual horizon and learning stops at social media. People like you, for example. Stupid, ignorant, unread but manic people with whole
hives under their bonnets but zero learning.
Many different versions of cultural studies have emerged in the past decades. While during its dramatic period of global expansion in the 1980s and 1990s, cultural studies was often identified with the approach to culture and society developed by the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies in Birmingham, England, their sociological, materialist, and political approaches to culture had predecessors in a number of currents of cultural Marxism. Many 20th century Marxian theorists ranging from Georg Lukacs, Antonio Gramsci, Ernst Bloch, Herbert Marcuse, Walter Benjamin, and T.W. Adorno to Fredric Jameson and Terry Eagleton employed the Marxian theory to analyze cultural forms in relation to their production, their imbrications with society and history, and their impact and influences on audiences and social life. Traditions of cultural Marxism are thus important to the trajectory of cultural studies and to understanding its various types and forms in the present age.
