I’m sure most have heard of “culture war”. Ever hear of Antonio Gramsci?

Here’s a very simple overview.

What is Hegemony? Antonio Gramsci and the Prison Notebooks - YouTube

What had happened was, they couldn’t figure out why the predicted uprisings weren’t occurring in the west (England was especially puzzling) when they seemed so ripe.

Tony Gramsci, observing the Bolsheviks, came to the conclusion (correctly IMO) that it was because of culture - and hegemony.

The revolution had to be split into two phases.

1. Attack and change the culture (prep the battlespace).
2. 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?

1. Religion
2. Family
3. Media
4. Education system
5. Legal system

There are others and these are in no particular order.

In addition, those who present an obstacle to this culture war must be unpersoned, marginalized, canceled and in extreme cases - eradicated.

Mao did this war on culture. Stalin understood it very well (Gramsci was a fan, though didn’t advocate the extremes they went to).

This strategy has been successful for feminists, LGBTQ, BIPOC and is playing out now before our very eyes. And Gramsci was a grandfather of it.

Yes, there is a culture war going on and has been for decades. And liberalism is losing.

Fascinating guy.

This is why we see the things we are seeing here.

Education>Culture>Politics

It’s not an accident.

There’s always been a culture war going on between the old and the young generations. There’s no conspiracy. It’s organic. Culture changes over time.

Is it? It’s where educated idiot come from. People learn ideas of others instead of developing the skills to work out ideas of their own.

We have more equality now than before.

How can the race for equality be consider a loss?

If anything conservatism is losing and big time.

Excellent point.

I doubt the concept of nuclear family has been taught for 20 years.

This is how I first recognized the shift. The deplatforming of the nuclear family.

[Camp]

Not true at all.

Hate crimes and group politics has done the exact opposite.

It highlights difference…not samness.

Have a nice evening.

Yeah it’s fun to take my words out of context to make a fake point. I Googled him to see what had brought this thread on and shockingly almost everything about him was from right wingers talking about cultural Marxism.

I suppose it’s a downside to just reading books, I often don’t know why things pop up in the zeitgeist.

Soooooo…you Googled it? I thought you already knew all about it from what you said in your posts before this one?

Toppled by the erosion of the founding mythology. That is being dismantled, which for some reason you find fault with. The propaganda of the 20th century, mixed with the evolved morality of the previous centuries, is now divorced from the power structure.

Interestingly enough, these structures were previously held primarily to control the ruling class; the nobility. Now, they only apply to the inheritors of the peasant class, which you lot take issue with. This, you call, ‘corruption’ of some sort or another. Shake off the rules, shake off the corruption. It’s not the fault of progressives you were convinced by some arcane narrative designed to maximize your unit contribution to the state; and it’s not our fault you can’t keep up.

This mythology is not ours, but yours.

Doublespeak. Do you actually believe your own press?

@AngraMainyu

What won’t work? The idea that marketing firms don’t give a ■■■■ about gramsci and have primed a population to willingly swallow anything that is repeated enough, and often? That is a function of the capitalist economy, which has become almost a science in and of itself - born out of market mechanisms of monetary extraction. Children and young adults don’t read gramsci my guy, they look at youtube videos, reality tv and marketing ads all day.

Refer to religion if you like, that is one of the reasons the structure is falling apart. Like the babylonian and assyrian gods of the past, that too will go by the wayside as humanity moves on

It won’t fall by the wayside on Judgement Day. I sincerely don’t wish that on you. Have you ever actually READ the Bible?

I know who he is. I was wondering why people were talking about an obscure Marxist writer from pre-WW1 Italy, so I Googled him to see what was trending.

What was trending was “cultural Marxism.”

Rest assured, it still is by millions of people, dwindling as those numbers may be.

I find fault with your attempt to take credit for it as a justification for what is happening here. Yes, yes, I know; EVERYTHING is fascist and you’ll © get it right this time. The New American Mythology.

“Oh no, no! It was Jupiter not Zeus! You weren’t listening because of white male fragility!”

What “structures”? Be specific please.

I love this. Straight out of Marx’ mouth.

It’s not between old and young. The living disciples are entering their 80s.

And when did it begin? What mythology brought about a 70% uninvolved father percentage in the black nation.

Intersectionality.

All oppression is interconnected. Crenshaw.

All oppression must be destroyed at the same time. Gramsci.

Latching onto conspiracy a theory is now considered critical thinking, for some…
