“One can rightfully speak of a cultural revolution since the protest is aimed at the whole cultural establishment, including the morality of existing society. What we must undertake is a type of diffuse and dispersed disintegration of the system.”

1.) The Cultural Marxist left’s belief in tolerance is not the pure tolerance that some assume it is. It is, as from the book title, of Herbert Marcuse ‘Repressive Tolerance.’ Repressive tolerance teaches the left to give preference to minority groups using the dialectics of conflict. For example; “The Oppressed vs. Oppressor,” taught the left to restrain the liberty of the right (“Oppressors”) and to continually give preference to marginalized minority groups (“Oppressed”) who then become the righteous oppressors in the fight for mythical, objective, and paradoxical equality and now equity.

2.) Marcuse realized that there would not be an uprising by the working class to overthrow Western civilization and so he turned to the anti-colonial third world as a natural beginning of a new proletariat. Marcuse fashioned the minority world as combined with the pervert class, who likewise along with the anti-colonial third world hated the Wester civilization, into a new Marxist working-class proletariat. This new proletariat comprised of minorities, perverts, and bra-burning feminists — all who viewed themselves as victim groups — would accomplish what the workers of the world never did and that is unite to the end of throwing off Christian Western Christian civilization via a revolution characterized by their “long march through the Institutions.”
3.) Marcuse’s “Eros & Revolution” was a nuclear bomb on the University campus when it was released. It made Wilhelm Reich’s case that sexual liberation was the best counter to the putative psychological ills (by Cultural Marxists standards) of Western man. In that book, Marcuse advocated for ‘polymorphous perversity,’ which was just a scholastic way of saying “sex with whoever, and whatever one desires whenever one desires.” Marcuse, following Reich, contended in “Eros & Revolution” that the West and the White man’s putative violence was due to the White man’s pent up sexual frustration. In this context we begin to see the hippy cry “Make Love, Not War,” and we begin to see “Love In” protest on university campuses.
4.) Once arriving in the US from Germany having been connected to the Frankfurt school Herbert Marcuse was hired by the FDR administration to do work with the Office of War Information in order to develop anti-Nazi propaganda. Marcuse also worked with the OSS which was a precursor to the CIA. In this action, we see the endorsement of the Federal Government of a known agent of Cultural Marxism.
5.) Erich Fromm, one of the Frankfurt school’s main thinkers pushed cultural Marxism through psychology by blaming Western tradition for the rise of Nazism and the rejection of Marxism. Leftists today still call their opponent “Nazis” based on Fromm’s ridiculous offerings.
6.) It was Edward R. Murrow who was responsible for connecting the fleeing German Frankfurt School “academics” with Columbia University via an agency (Assistant Director of Institute of International Education [IIE], 1932-1935) that had been created to help do just this work. Of course, this was before Edward R. Murrow became well known. Murrow, like so many of the newsmen of that era, were, at minimum, understood to be fellow travelers.
7.) Almost all of the Frankfurt school “intellectuals” were Jewish and with the rise of Hitler they were forced to disperse Germany. Many of them ended up in the US at Columbia University where they spread their noxious musings throughout the university system in America. Columbia University became ground zero for Cultural Marxism and from Columbia many of the students of the first generation Cultural Marxists spread like a plague to other universities across the country.
8.) Critical theory is suspicious of the very categories of ‘better,’ ‘useful,’ ‘appropriate,’ ‘productive,’ and ‘valuable,’ as those are understood in the present order.”

The term “Critical theory,” was first coined by Max Horkheimer in his work w/ the Frankfurt school. Critical Race Theory as developed by Horkheimer was an infinite and unending criticism of the Christian status quo as done via the then-new social sciences of psychology, sociology, economics, political science, etc.
Critical theory demanded a kind of social relativism be embraced for the purpose of forever ridding societies of any kind of Christian ethical foundation. The real goal in all this was to make social orders unworkable by making everything meaningless. If there is no meaning then there is no reason to defend anything. This would allow Revolution which would, in turn, bring in the Marxist Utopian state.
9.) Felix Weil was the chap who funded the Institute of Social Research (later to become known as the “Frankfurt School), using money he inherited from his capitalist Grandfather.
10.) Marx’s materialistic dialecticism, per, György Lukács was not a predictor of the future though it was a tool of destruction. The Marxian thinking was “tear down the existing economic status quo and people will automatically turn to Marxism.” György Lukács and Gramsci disagreed believing that it was Western culture that needed to be torn down.
11.) “Man is above all else mind, consciousness — that is he is a product of history not of nature. There is no other of explaining why socialism has not come into existence already.”
Antonio Gramsci
