   Karl Marx posited that, when the 'objective and subjective conditions' were met, the proles would launch the Marxist revolution that would depose Capitalism.
   
   After WWI, while the Bolsheviks (Marxists) were busy conducting the Red Terror in all the territories they annexed by force (and called Socialist Republics later) and killing people by the tens of millions, the domestic Marxists tried to launch their revolutions in Germany, Hungary, and Italy, but failed mostly because the proles had discovered that it was a much more attractive, and by then possible alternative to seek to improve their lot in life and ascend to middle class, rather than die in the process of imposing a Marxist totalitarian regime that would do away with their probability of ever climbing to the middle-class.
   
   German Marxist Jews (Lukacs, Adorno, Horkheimer, Marcuse, Benjamin, Fromm, Leventhal, Habermas) incorporated the ideas of Italian Communist Mario Gramsci to create Critical Theory.
   
   The implementation of Critical Theory with the inclusion of Gramsci's ideas became later known as Cultural Marxism, sometimes also called Neomarxism.
   
   After the 20th congress of the Communist Party in the USSR in 1956, in which Khrushchev gave the famous speech accusing Stalin of being a tyrant and to practice the cult to (his) personality, there was a huge chasm between Mao Tse Tung (who favored the cult to the personality) and Khrushchev. That sent Marxists in Western capitalist nations in disarray, without a clear playbook. Marxism wasn't selling any more.
   They were rescued in the 1960s by French Marxists/Communists (Foucault, Derrida, etc…) who came up with a new strategy for Neomarxism: Postmodernism. The main tool of Postmodernism (deconstruction) has been used since to destroy all Western institutions.

   In the words of its creator
   “…deconstruction never had meaning or interest, at least in my eyes, than as a radicalization, that is to say, also within the tradition of a certain Marxism, in a certain spirit of Marxism.” – Jacques Derrida

   They put in place “the march through the institutions” which meant they would besmirch, degrade, defile, and destroy all the institutions in Western nations to raise such level of chaos that would make those nations ungovernable, they would collapse, and the Marxists would have artificially created the 'objective and subjective conditions' from within for the Marxist revolution to take place.
   
   A Cultural Marxist, of course, would tell you that Cultural Marxism is a “conspiracy theory” the same way a pedophile would claim that there is no such thing as pedophilia.
   
   The quote below from one of the main ideologues of Cultural-Marxism, Theodor Wiesengrund Adorno, leaves little doubt as to the real purpose of this ideology:
   
   “…parenthood, pride in one's family, Christianity, traditional gender roles and attitudes toward sex, love of one own's country, etc. are 'pathologies,' that need to be treated and rid of.” – Theodor Weisengrund Adorno “The Authoritarian Personality” – 1950

   looking to the current woke ideology and their fans, all lefty democratic are connected to the cultural marxism, there is no reason to deny this theory. I don't see any conspiracy, I see perfect connection and logical evolution of the first marxism, which talks about labour rights, minority rights, and now the woke ideology want to invert the society from the minorances

    The "Cultural Marxism" conspiracy theory was premiered at a Holocaust Denial conference put on by Willis Carto at The Barnes Review (an antisemitic magazine). The talk given was paid for by The Free Congress Foundation – who also feature Laszlo Pasztor (an "Arrow Cross Party" collaborator for the Nazis, who was stations in Berlin during WW2).

    Also, if you read Adorno's essay "On The Problem of Family" it's very clear The Frankfurt School never attacked the family, nor did they attack Religion (they were after all, Jewish).

    So there's a lot of conservative clap trap people get sucked into.

    1:17 An interesting thing to note is that, From a biological perspective, There's not such thing as a "Fish"; "Fish" refers to numerous groups of animals, Some rather distantly related to eachother, And there's not really any objective definition of a fish that would include everything we call fish but exclude, well, us, Or at the least exclude some things we don't consider fish, such as whales or sea-snakes. I'm not quite sure how/if this is relevant, but it felt like something interesting to mention.

    I really liked your comparison of Marxism to fish! I studied Marxism for a while and discovered that truth. But it seems you are trying to say Cultural Marxism is a conspiracy theory of the right. That's absurd! You cannot leave out Gramsci, the idea of hegemony, and Louis Althusser when he writes about the Repressive State Apparatus (RSA) and the Ideological State Apparatus (ISA). Cultural Marxism is in no way a conspiracy, unless you want to admit it is a Marxist conspiracy to take over a nation without violence. It is pretty much a done deal at this point!

    The plot, by Marxists, to undermine American values was not secret, and is not any kind of right-wing "conspiracy theory." Those recognized as great Marxist thinkers, of the time, were very much upfront about it. It was called "critical theory." The idea was to constantly criticize everything about capitalism, or Christianity. The idea was to make western democracies hate their culture. The Marxist viewed this as necessary to get western democracies to accept Marxism.
    Don't take my word for it. Do some research. The Marxist who came up with the idea never attempted to hide their intentions, or methods.

    The term "politically correct" sounds vague and threatening because that is its goal, but if you try to pinpoint its meaning based on its usage today, you must end up concluding that it just means "polite" (it's even in the root of the word), "respectful" or at most "diplomatic". There's nothing wrong with being PC or asking people to be PC. The only truly negative connotation I found was in an old NY Times newspaper article from 1934 where someone talked about how authors in Germany were only allowed to publish works that were not correct, but politically correct, i.e. towing the party line (wonder who was in power then, cause it sure as heck wasn't the "cultural marxists"). In that particular sense, which is likely the initial meaning of the term, it truly is ominous, and it's clear that's the feeling the people using it are trying to evoke, but look at the modern day examples they give and you'll soon see the motte and bailey: they only refer to instances of politeness/respectfulness/diplomacy which are expected by society when in society, but label them PC and describe it as this authoritarian boogeyman when talking about it in the abstract.

    Basically cultural Marxism is manipulating culture through the use of ultra woke propaganda

    Your video basically boils down to: "People may or may not use it incorrectly in modern day [summary of YOUR claim], so therefore it's a nonsense term". Instead, you should have actually broken down cultural Marxism, as it was expounded by the Frankfurt school, and analyzed its relationship with the happenings of today. Your video is like someone saying "Oh, look, left wing radicals call everyone they disagree with fascists, so therefore, there's no real thing as fascism or it can be dismissed". I came looking for better.

    Interesting subject, but the host appears to not understand the subject and judging by their body language and tone appears to have a strange negative bias towards the idea of cultural weapons or more specifically in this case cultural Marxism, acting like it's some sort of conspiracy theory.

    We need to realise that this type of minimization of a very real problem plaguing western culture will only increase the weapons potency against it's victim culture, and it serves the perpetrators greatly.

    This type of cultural weaponry isn't just specific to the spreading of just communism and or any of it's variations, western democracy also has it's own version of cultural weapons that have been frequently deployed in other countries to sow the seed of capitalism and or western democratic values.

    Do not minimize cultural marxism.
    It is not a conspiracy theory, and the best way to resist it is to understand what's being perpetrated against your mind, and how it does it.

    It's aim is to destroy the target culture slowly over time until everything that once was, is no longer, and everything will take on an almost opposite meaning.
    And content like this, aimed at casting doubt to reduce resistance whether real or perceived are a very real vector for increasing potency or protect the weapon, so that it can maintain its momentum.

    Always be vigilant, I'm likely to be attacked by those who know or those who have been conditioned to not know, but protect it due to social programming through various mechanisms aimed at conditioning a population to protect the imposter culture.

    Warfare isn't just kinetic, it comes in many forms, many are silent, and will soften a target weakening it over a long period of time.

    Whoever labels cultural marxism as far-right conspiracy theory should first do some reading about its founding fathers – communists and what they said. Cultural Marxism = Anti-Christianity.

    Bad analysis; Cultural Marxism is the doctrine of Antonio Gramsci. This video didn't mention Gramsci or Rudy Dutschke even once. It doesn't help that most people using 'Cultural Marxism' don't understand its origins either
