causticusAn internet comment from SCM:
This is a pretty typical summary of "Cultural Marxism" we might expect from a person on the Dissident Right who can coherently string a few paragraphs together. Except that, few if any people actually self-identify as either this label or the above list of criteria in any sort of conscious manner. Rather, it's a laundry list of agenda items which Cultural Leftist aligned institutions have been pushing for the past several decades. The majority of people, regardless of their ideological leanings, do not willingly embrace this entire list. As a clear example, just go back 10 years in time and you'll find that the average self-identified "Progressive" would not admit to signing onto all that stuff. Many would even disavow a number of those items. However, many of the things listed above are indeed what the current crop of intersectional cultists are indeed advocating, but (in my view) more as "NPC" ideological automatons rather than fully-willing agents. How many SJWs today would willingly admit to holding at least 90% of those positions?
Cultural Marxism: An offshoot of Marxism that gave birth to political correctness, multiculturalism and "anti-racism." Unlike traditional Marxism that focuses on economics, Cultural Marxism focuses on culture and maintains that all human behavior is a result of culture (not heredity / race) and thus malleable. Cultural Marxists absurdly deny the biological reality of gender and race and argue that gender and race are “social constructs”.
Nonetheless, Cultural Marxists support the race-based identity politics of non-whites. Cultural Marxists typically support race-based affirmative action, the proposition state (as opposed to a nation rooted in common ancestry), elevating non-Western religions above Western religions, speech codes and censorship, multiculturalism, diversity training, anti-Western education curricula, maladaptive sexual norms and anti-male feminism, the dispossession of white people, and mass Third World immigration into Western countries.
Cultural Marxists have promoted the idea that white people, instead of birthing white babies, should interracially marry or adopt non-white children. Samuel P. Huntington maintained that Cultural Marxism is an anti-white ideology. Critics of Cultural Marxism have maintained that Cultural Marxists intend to commit genocide against white people through mass non-white immigration, assimilation, transracial adoption and miscegenation.
