It may have been started by crazy people but to consider that "dubunking it" is fallacious look up "genetic fallacy".

Here is the "conspiracy theory" outlined by what the left calls it - critical theory. The current driving force in social studies and the humanities.

It is the origin of such concepts as the "social construct", privilege, gender (rather than sex) and so on. In every case it is attacking from all angles, with a view to change to be more aligned with their view (an ostensibly Marxist view), Western society.

It's hard to call something a conspiracy theory when the results are celebrated and all around us.
>>
>it's a conspiracy to point out the truth

Cultural Marxism is New Left.
Ever since the New Left pieces of shit have taken over the old Labor left unions have died, income inequality has skyrocketed, and now all the left gives a shit about is being anti white anti Christian anti male anti "cis" and anti straight.

It doesn't exist, and the Frankfurt School had nothing to do with it. Certainly, what amounts to "activism" on college campuses is superficial and authoritarian, but the wave of political correctness has far more to do with the outcome of neoliberal capitalism needing to adjust to multiculturalism than a few arcane works by a German atonal music guru and a Jewish mystic-turned-Marxist.

>>69968771
Critical Theory has nothing to do with the state of modern institutions and media. The Frankfurt School hasn't been relevant in academia for over 35 years, and most of what is taught in the humanities today is POSTMODERNISM which is highly anti-Marxist.

No.

That 7-minute atrocity is full of inaccuracies. Adorno had very little to do with The Authoritarian Personality, for example, and the vast majority of the book's 900 pages were penned by Levinson, an American psychologist who had nothing to do with the Frankfurt School.

Also, Marcuse hated political art. In no way was he promoting policies that would have censored the words of reactionaries over the words of leftists.

Not to mention, both of those works are probably the worst representation of what the Franks were really about.

So why then does critical theory align perfectly with their current state, that is one promoting gender equality (women as well as gays etc), anti-nationalism/post-colonialism (racism, no such thing as an illegal immigrant, multiculturalism), post modernism (relativism moral and otherwise, attacking the power bas of the church through anti-theism while at the same time promoting and defending Islam because oppression) and so on.

These are all things that they undeniably do consistently and dogmatically.

First off, you'll have to explain what you're denoting as "critical theory" here. Are you talking about Adorno's works on pop culture, or Fromm's Marxist humanist critiques of consumerism, or what?

>that is one promoting gender equality (women as well as gays etc), anti-nationalism/post-colonialism (racism, no such thing as an illegal immigrant, multiculturalism)
Feminism pre-dates Critical Theory by a century, perhaps even longer. Anti-nationalism or anti-racism wasn't really something the Franks addressed, aside from the chapter on antisemitism in Dialectic of Enlightenment (which wasn't even published in English until 1972).

>post modernism
Which is an entirely different intellectual tradition than Frankfurt, and was always at odds with it.

Interestingly enough, Postmodernism comes out of the philosophy of Heidegger, a nefarious Nazi whose works Adorno critiqued (read Negative Dialectics, you'd love it).

>attacking the power bas of the church through anti-theism while at the same time promoting and defending Islam because oppression
Again, this is the result of neoliberal capitalism. Neoliberalism causes intense migration patterns, which in turn creates the need for PC in order to keep school and workplace tensions down. It has absolutely nothing to do with Critical Theory.

I'm talking about critical theory/cultural marxism as it exists today. History is important to know where things came from, but things have moved on since then.

>Feminism pre-dates Critical Theory by a century, perhaps even longer. Anti-nationalism or anti-racism wasn't really something the Franks addressed, aside from the chapter on antisemitism in Dialectic of Enlightenment (which wasn't even published in English until 1972).

Feminism has gone through various "waves" - It's not until the 60s that they went Marxist (at which point, oh did they... Along with everything else. Absolutely nothing to do with the KGB I'm sure.) As for post-colonialism, again you are trying to remove the Frankfurt school from history and take it as standing alone. They themselves may not have addressed it much, but those they influenced certainly did using the techniques and concepts they developed to further their goals. The Frankfurt school probably never even considered the possibility of transgender for example, but that is certainly a result of gender theory, a subset of critical theory, developed by them.

>Which is an entirely different intellectual tradition than Frankfurt, and was always at odds with it.

Okay, so you're talking about people like Noel Ignatiev, Judith Butler, bell hooks, all the cookie-cutter postcolonial theorists, and such, no?

Well here's the thing: their methodology is entirely different from the Frankfurt School, and blaming the Franks for people like bell hooks would be akin to blaming Nirvana for Nickelback.

>Feminism has gone through various "waves"
No shit.

>It's not until the 60s that they went Marxist
No one denies the influence of Marxism on the Second Wave. However, the modern Third Wave that's active today is heavily anit-Marxist.

Take Queer Theory for example. It's entirely based on a fucking PARAGRAPH in Foucault's first volume of History of Sexuality. Basically, QT states that being a woman is just an idea created by societal discourse, so anyone can be a "woman". A Marxist-influenced Second Wave feminist would say (and have said) this assertion is bullshit, and women's oppression originates not from "discourse" but from their reproductive capabilities and the material conditions which created the need for men to subordinate them.

>Absolutely nothing to do with the KGB I'm sure.
Riiiiight.

>As for post-colonialism, again you are trying to remove the Frankfurt school from history and take it as standing alone. They themselves may not have addressed it much, but those they influenced certainly did using the techniques and concepts they developed to further their goals.
Postcolonial Theory also has way more to do with the works of Nietzsche and Heidegger through Foucault than it does Marx. Please, ask a philosophy professor to explain this to you.

>I remember coming away from some discussions with the clear sense that the policy was intended – even if this wasn't its main purpose – to rub the Right's nose in diversity and render their arguments out of date.

It was done deliberately, as a matter of idology (in defiance of popular will it should be noted) in order to make resistance to their policies more difficult. Ethically it's much easier to resist someone moving into your country than it is to expel them. It is true that the modern left and right both love immigration (for different reasons), but that doesn't change where the ideas came from in the first place and who and why it is being promoted. It has been argued by many that the modern left and right are the same beast in different coloured ties, who will switch tack and change their arguments depending on who they are talking to, but they are pushing for the same thing.

>Intersectionality is a distinctly American postmodernist thing.

Now you're specifically talking about politicians, not philosophers or academics. Again, this says nothing about the extent to which Critical Theory influenced their views; it's just careerist politicians being careerist politicians.

Also, whether the borders are open or not, no one is going to pack up and move overseas without a damn good reason. If the choice is being exploited in a sweatshop for 40 cents an hour in Pakistan, or loads of welfare money plus free healthcare and education and a union job in the UK, I'd be choosing the latter.

Queer theory is a subset of critical theory. Like I keep saying, time moves on - ideas change, integrate and die. Your problem with cultural marxism doesn't seem to be so much with what it is describing, more with that it's got marxism in the name. Likely because you are a marxist and want to distance yourself from the lunatics. The name is what it is to reference the origins of the ideas and the broad world-view we are dealing with - one of oppressed and oppressor, inequality, aversion to the nation state (though not necessarily the Marxist state a la Stalin) and so on. Not because they are orthodox marxists.

Except that, again, QT, postcolonial theory, and the like do not "come out" of the Frankfurt School. They come from Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Foucault. What happened was, Anglo authors applied their analytic methodologies to this specific Nietzschean philosophy and came up with garbage.

Another debunking; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MEtnuOy-_s

But yeah "Cultural Marxism" was originally just an informal term for when The Frankfurt School was transitioning from Marxist Analysis to Cultural Analysis - and the conspiracy theory that's cropped up around it borrows heavily from the Frankfurt School theorists themselves. It's basically a combo of Adorno's idea of a "Culture Industry" and Gramsci's "Cultural Hegemony" - and with some "Authoritarian Personality Complex" thrown in there.

The right wing are trying to recycle and rebrand these Frankfurt ideas as a conspiracy theory against The Frankfurt School and modern left.

Critical theory comes from the Frankfurt school. In modern times it has morphed significantly from those humble origins but at its core they are aligned. Who came up with an idea in the first place doesn't matter if it can be used to your own ends. The ends justify the means.

They played their part too. If Marx and the Franks were the only actors then we would likly be dealing with just Marxism. They are however the founders of it and set the tone for what was to come.

Weyrich first aired his conception of Cultural Marxism in a 1998 speech to the Civitas Institute's Conservative Leadership Conference, later noting the "strong, positive response" in his "Open Letter to Conservatives".[52][55] At Weyrich's request Lind wrote a short history of this concept for The Free Congress Foundation.[51][56][57] Lind and Weyrich further expanded on their conception of Cultural Marxism; co-writing an article for The American Ideas Institute and over the next 2 years expanding that article into a book titled "The Next Conservatism"[58][59] with Lind having already written a fictional account of a post-apocalyptic Cultural Marxist future.[51][60][61] In these works they advocate fighting Cultural Marxism with "a vibrant cultural conservatism" composed of "retroculture" fashions from the past, a return to rail systems as public transport and an agrarian culture of self-reliance modeled after the Amish.[51][58][62][63][61][64][65] Weyrich and his protégé Eric Heubeck later openly advocated for a more direct form of "taking over political structures" by the "New Traditionalist Movement" in his 2001 paper The Integration of Theory and Practice written for Weyrich's Free Congress Foundation.[66][67][68]

Again, postmodernism has nothing to do with Frankfurt. It developed in an entirely different context, in France and using the methodology of Nietzsche and Heidegger.

>So what, they "used them wrong"?
More like, twisted their ideas. Foucault, for example, saw power as a verb rather than a noun; I doubt very much he'd agree with the sociologists who exploit his works when they say things like: "you can't be racist against white people," because, for Foucault, there are no clear-cut "oppressors" and "oppressed". Everyone, in his view, is capable of being either, or both.

Identity politics is a plague on the modern left.

To elaborate: in order to prove that the Franks were part of a global jewspiracy, you would have to examine their loyalties to Jews and Judaism, which most of them had little interest in.

>Again, postmodernism has nothing to do with Frankfurt. It developed in an entirely different context, in France and using the methodology of Nietzsche and Heidegger.

It may not have to do with the Frankfurt school, but it has plenty to do with modern critical theory, which is now resembling Frankenstein's (school's) monster.

>More like, twisted their ideas. Foucault, for example, saw power as a verb rather than a noun; I doubt very much he'd agree with the sociologists who exploit his works when they say things like: "you can't be racist against white people," because, for Foucault, there are no clear-cut "oppressors" and "oppressed". Everyone, in his view, is capable of being either, or both.

Road to hell, good intentions etc.

>Did I mention Queer Theory and Postcolonial Theory are heavily anti-Marxist?

Maybe the man, but what they are trying to achieve is aligned. That being the destruction of the established economic, national, ethnic, sexual, whatever power-bases to bring about their utopia of equality and kumbaya. I imagine they don't much like marx because he was mostly concerned with economics (not appreciating the unique struggles of the LGBTBBQs is highly problematic), whereas the cultural Marxists, new left, progressives, whatever you want to call them view their battleground as cultural.

Which, again, is POSTMODERNISM. There. I said it. Start blaming Foucault, Lacan, Derrida, and Irigaray for this crapola.

>Maybe the man, but what they are trying to achieve is aligned.
Not at all. For one thing, the agenda of Queer Theory (i.e. gender is a "performance") goes completely against the Radical Feminist idea that gender is a hierarchy.

Postcolonial Theory only develops a national consciousness, not a class or socialist consciousness, as it basically gives credit to the national bourgeoisie and other social hierarchies which existed in pre-colonized nations.

Not quite. PoMos and their children hate Marx and Marxism because 1. it's materialist, 2. it assumes an absolute truth, whereas PoMo denies absolute truth exists, and 3. it relies on the science of history (historical materialism) in order to understand truth.

If you can't tell the difference between Dialectical Materialism and PoMo Dialectical Monism, I'd suggest talking to a philosophy professor. I can't write a phil paper on here at 4am in the morning.

Yup. And in your next post you'll be attributing "Jewish evil" to the Talmud and/or Zohar, right?

Really though, the only two Franks who had any extensive knowledge of Judaism were Fromm, an atheist who only used Jewish concepts to make a case for his Marxist humanism, and Benjamin, who was heavily criticized by Horkheimer and the rest of them for being super religious and mystical.

So basically; there doesn't have to be any connection between The Frankfurt School and modern politics for there to be a connection... aka you're batshit crazy and don't need to show any reason or logic to what you're saying.

14% of Iceland's entire population are out on the streets demanding the resignation of the centre-right liberal agrarian eurosceptic PM of Iceland just because Emperor Soros told them to.

Oh and get this. It no longer says on wikipedia that the Progressive Party is eurosceptic.

It's likely that Gunnlaugsson is going to be replaced by a pro-EU Prime Minister and that they're then going to be offered a good deal that they just can't refuse about joining the EU because muh artificially shitty economy on life support needs another adrenaline shot, it's definitely going to help this time guys.

Here is a pissy right-winger complaining about her education in Postmodernism and Deconstruction.

>So you're finally coming around then?

No, I'm just acknowledging that the modern political landscape is not entirely the result of some Germans from the 20s, acting like some kind of zombie puppeteers.

>Which, again, is POSTMODERNISM. There. I said it. Start blaming Foucault, Lacan, Derrida, and Irigaray for this crapola.

I'm certainly not trying to defend the post modernists, but neither am I going to the marxists - especially when it is them who "built the church".

>Not at all. For one thing, the agenda of Queer Theory (i.e. gender is a "performance") goes completely against the Radical Feminist idea that gender is a hierarchy.

Both aim to tear down masculinity and view men as above women, either as something held over women (women are just as good as men) or something that is inherent to men (women can be "men" if you teach them to be, and can thus take their place). What differs is what they perceive a "man" as.

>Postcolonial Theory only develops a national consciousness, not a class or socialist consciousness, as it basically gives credit to the national bourgeoisie and other social hierarchies which existed in pre-colonized nations.

They aren't directly trying to get the proles to rise up and size control of the means of production, but the dissolution of national identity and the idea that no one person or group is inherently better than another is very much central to communism (ignoring "more equal than others").

Once again, you fail to realize that Postmodernism and Frankfurt School developed independently of each other and have little to do with one another.

Again, I could go over the differences between, say, Marcuse and Foucault but it's 4:30 in the morning and I can barely keep my head up.

>Both aim to tear down masculinity and view men as above women,
Queer Theory rejects metanarratives such as this. Read Judith Butler and you'll see how fucking liberal and un-threatening she is.

>but the dissolution of national identity and the idea that no one person or group is inherently better than another is very much central to communism (ignoring "more equal than others").
So the whole "WE WUZ KANGS" trope you see so often from armchair Afrocentricists translates to "all races are equal"? Because that's the kind of stuff Postcolonial theory puts out.

>This much damage control

Where is /pol/ characterized as a hive mind? Anon is clearly talking about the way /pol/ largely characterizes "cultural marxism" as the nexus of degeneracy in the west (something which is kind of difficult to deny for people with eyes), not that /pol/ is reddit (which is a pretty shitty hive mind at that).

>This is basically the same logic behind unironic renditions of "/pol/ is always right," for "/pol/" to be "right" it has to have some loosely agreed upon ideas, such as how "cultural marxism" is characterized.
