Incredible Work!

I am doing a research project on the topic and have found this to be the BEST book written on the subject. The depth and breath and attention to detail are commendable. High recommend!

Cultural Marxism

The title is taken from the book ‘Towards Soviet America’ espousing cultural Marxism. The idea that the individual is a victim of society plays into the Cloward Piven strategy of the 1960s with their May 1966 article the weight of the poor.

The main attack on America’s freedoms and economic system usually undermines the facts that capitalism has benefited more people and helped create the middle class over the last 500 years, whereas Socialism and communism have killed at least half 1 billion people over only the last 100 years.

Today we find rhetoric like this and social criticism, social theory, critical theory, and today critical race theory through the infiltration of our media, arts, schools and sadly the literature that should help to promote free speech and freedom of thought and yet books like this do the opposite they curb the intellect by having the individual feel that they are part of a class warfare and self depreciated because of society rather than taking full responsibilities through their own freewill of the choices that they make.
