You have been served the cites and sources on a silver platter. I will not address willful ignorance nor childish obstinacy.

As have you… in the wiki you attempted to torpedo your own thread with.
I’ll post again
While the theory originated in the United States during the 1990s,[5](Abstract) it entered mainstream discourse in the 2010s and is promoted globally.[5] The conspiracy theory of Marxist culture war is promoted by right-wing politicians, fundamentalist religiousleaders, political commentators in mainstream print and television media and white supremacistterrorists.[6] Scholarly analysis of the conspiracy theory has concluded that it has no basis in fact and is not based on any actual intellectual tendency.[5][7]

Addressed. Proof of absolutely nothing.
Read the primary sources on your platter.
I’ll say the same to you.
The quote from that wiki links to scholarly research on the topic of the cultural Marxism myth.
Might as well say the Illuminati did it.

I have. Those links are not primary sources, they are opinions on secondary sources.
What I provided you are primary sources.
Annnnnd, the wiki on Marxist cultural analysis completely cancels the one claiming conspiracy theory - edited by a lot of the same people.
You have a primary source that claims there is a small group of Frankfurt Marxists that are undermining western culture?
No. I have multiple primary sources identifying the intent and strategy being used today to undermine liberalism. And you know it.
Watch the video. A middle school version.
Thank you, and nice piece on Gramsci.
I would argue the following are tactics rather than goals; tactics employed by almost any and all who seek power. In other words, not specific to Marxism.
'The revolution had to be split into two phases.
- Attack and change the culture (prep the battlespace).
- Lead the proletariat to Utopia (Vanguard)
How do you attack the culture? You attack them by infecting the generators of culture (virus).
What are they?
- Religion
- Family
- Media
- Education system
- Legal system’
The use of the term Marxist is, to me, is solely about its unique goals rather than shared tactics. Further, in today’s strained political climate, Marxist has become the ultimate pejorative, like racist.
Power exists and will always exist. And those who seek it will always try to change the culture to ease their ascent to power and maintain their hold on it.

There are all sorts of factors and influences that lead to change in these areas and they are constantly involving with the times. When it comes to the left’s efforts to change these areas the right has pasted the label of “cultural marxism” on it because they know that by labeling something Marxist it becomes 10 times more scary to the ignorant who know no better. Are some of Marx’s theories used in academic settings for analyzing stuff? Yes. Does this mean the left is prepping society for Marxism? No. Not remotely.

I think that there is an error in thinking that the social movement towards a more robust social safety net and the conversation around race in America is from some sort of top down process instead of a generational one comprising of younger people that has seen themselves as cut out of America’s success for the past couple of decades.
It is Marxism. That’s where it comes from and where it’s going. I’m not scared of it.
Of course you do.
The 2008 crash hurt a whole generation just coming into the labor market.
That leaves a mark.
And every other generation. Things happen.

Worst financial crash since the Great Depression.
What did the Great Depression lead to?
The Great Prosperity.
It led to the social safety net.
The 2008 collapse affected an entire generation coming into the workforce. A really large generation I might add.
What do you think that a bunch of them would want to build after having to start their career with an economy in ruins, really predatory hiring, and the rise of the gig economy?
Nothing. Coming into a workforce they had nothing to do with building.
So don’t build anything. Gig your way into a social net.
