"'Cultural Marxism' is one of the far right’s favorite buzzwords – but what does this term mean and where did it come from? This book uncovers the bizarre story of the cult leaders, right-wing intellectuals, and neo-Nazi terrorists who believe that ‘Cultural Marxists’ are conspiring to trigger the demise of modern civilization. In this deeply researched account, Woods explains how the ‘Frankfurt School’ group of German thinkers were recast as the orchestrators of a plot to destroy the West. Instead of simply ‘debunking’ this conspiracy theory, Woods offers a sharp analysis and critique of the political movements who have advanced this damaging idea. Only when we identify the specific practices and agendas of those who promote the 'Cultural Marxism' conspiracy theory can we hope to neutralize its repressive and often fatal consequences. This is an essential book for anyone who wants to understand the ideological currents that are shaping right-wing politics in the 21st century."

”Cultural Marxism” - an idea frequently cited by MAGA conservatives today - is simply repurposing an old idea developed by the Nazi party of old.

They called it: ”Cultural Bolshevism”.

Same shit in a new shiny package.

Cultural Marxism generally refers to one of two things:

First — extremely rarely in popular discourse — "cultural Marxism" (lower C, upper M) refers to a strain of critique of popular culture by the Frankfurt School, framing such culture as being imposed by a capitalist culture industry and consumed passively by the masses.

Second — in common usage in the wild — "Cultural Marxism" (both uppercase) is a common snarl word used to paint anyone with progressive tendencies as a secret Communist. The term alludes to a #conspiracy theory in which sinister left-wingers have infiltrated media, academia, and science, and are engaged in a decades-long plot to undermine Western culture. Some variants of the conspiracy allege that basically all of modern social liberalism is, in fact, a communist front group.

Reminder:

People worried about "woke" are literally Nazis.

The way they use this word has nothing to do with its origins.

It's just the newest form of "cultural marxism" aka "cultural bolshevism", a nonsense word the original Nazis made up to vaguely blackball anything they disliked.

A nebulous term of derision, with no actual semantic content except "We Nazis hate those".

From an imaginary collaboration between George Jones and Theodore Adorno.

You must have thought that I was sleeping
And I wish that I had been
reducing culture to exchange
is the bourgeois favorite sin
I thought we struggled together
And our hearts fit like a glove
I was wrong for I've been watching
From Kant's window up above

(inspired by some idiot on twitter who complained that non-velveeta country music artists were cultural marxists)
