UK: YET ANOTHER VICTIM OF ACADEMIC POLITICAL CORRECTNESS BY THE CULTURAL MARXIST GANG…….

So Leftist students are the new (sole) arbitrators for what’s to be deemed as proper in society?

I think not, it’s the rest of us who never went to college, I’d choose the first thousand names in a phone book from a non-muslim populated portion of society where people actually earn a living, to deem what’s best for society.

NOTE: The man is one riveting speaker. He knows how to tell a story.

Cambridge University has dropped historian David Starkey from its funding campaign – because students branded him sexist and racist.

The historian and broadcaster was due to lead a £2bn fundraising drive by the University in a three-minute video featuring alumni including Stephen Hawking and Sir Ian McKellen.

But an open letter signed by both student union officials and lecturers called for him to be edited out, saying they had been ‘deeply offended’ by his inclusion.

  1. Marcuse wrote a book of criticisms against the Soviet system. It was called: “Soviet Marxism: A Critical Analysis”.

    Gramsci wasn’t even part of The Frankfurt School.

    Georg Lukács criticized The Frankfurt School calling them the beautiful and comfortable “Grand Hotel Abyss” which teetered on the edge of absurdity and nothingness.

    …so who does that leave as an actual “Cultural Marxist”?

    …Adorno perhaps? With his criticisms of pop-culture which he despised? Or perhaps Horkheimer who gave up on Marxism entirely?

    The truth is that feminism, gay rights, civil rights, atheism and secular humanism all pre-date The Frankfurt School (which hasn’t been influential in academia for 45 years now) and all these movements that get called “Cultural Marxism” have other sources, reasons and intentions behind their existence.

    “Cultural Marxism” is a term for the true believers of Conservative dogma. One for the crowd, not for the individualist. One to rally the team, but nothing to wander into a debate carrying.

    Personally I hope that conservatives try to spread this relic of cold war paranoia far and wide. It will do wonders for showing the world the nature of their ideology – “We may not have the answers – but god damn it we’ll keep you safe from the USSR!!!”

    Also – show me a corporation and I’ll find the person there in charge of giving sexual harassment seminars. McDonalds and Coke both like to put blacks and asians in their advertisements as to appeal to the widest audiences of racial super-friends… but is capitalism being looked at as the source of Multiculturalism, feminism, or political correctness?

    NO. Because it makes sense that companies would want women to feel comfortable working for them. That advertisers want to seem appealing and friendly to everyone. That religion is going to fall away as the world of science gains explanatory power. These aren’t expressions of Marxist theory infecting our culture – they’re functions of capitalism and good will. Plain and simple, but those who push this Christian Conservative conspiracy theory won’t accept what I’ve said here as an explanation – because they are as much ideologues as a hardcore Marxist Soviet could ever dream of being.

    1. cultural marxism takes each movement mentioned and uses them to drive a nihilistic stake into the heart of existing power structures and institutions, all appearing unrelated to the other but in fact, marching in unison. The more people wake up to Critical Theory and understand it for what it is, the closer we are in reducing the impact of this corrupting, destructive ideology.
