The cultural Marxists sought to offer up cultural revolution by means of boring from within. This was revolution by an incremental evolutionary process — a technique the Fabian-Socialists long advocated and practiced. The expectation here was not invasion from without, nor by some kind of political process alone. The Frankfurt school desired to kill the host West as a parasite sucking the life from within. Think of the Sigourney Weaver film, “Alien.” Slowly, surely, incrementally the parasite takes over the host until it kills the host culture by boring within.
Joseph de Maistre, at the beginning of the 19th century, characterized it as follows:
“Until now, nations were killed by conquest, that is by invasion. But here an important question arises: can a nation not die on its own soil, without resettlement or invasion, by allowing the flies of decomposition to corrupt to the very core those original and constituent principles which make it what it is?”
This is exactly what has happened to the West via the successful machinations of the Frankfurt school. First setting up their home base at Columbia University the Frankfurt school exercised massive influence by slowly but steadily salting the whole American University system nation-wide as combined with an ambitious publishing agenda wherein previous Western categories of thought were reinterpreted through a Cultural Marxist grid. Toss in the sexual revolution pushed by the work of Cultural Marxists Ordono and Horkheimer and it becomes clear that the Frankfurt school has been instrumental in successfully making the West stink.
