| Today, one of the things that I want to start doing here is explaining a lot of the concepts, some of the more philosophical or Theoretical elements of political science and philosophy in our modern era, things that affect us. | |
| Today I want to talk about a topic that's very often brought up, very often discussed in our, kind of in this sphere of politics that we discuss, and that's cultural Marxism. | |
| Most people are familiar with Marxism as an idea merely that it's communism. | |
| They know that Marx believed in sharing wealth. | |
| They might have a little bit of an ancillary knowledge of the proletariat versus the bourgeoisie. | |
| But I want to talk about Marxism and how economic Marxism was developed into the cultural movement that we see today. | |
| Now first, I think what we need is a little bit of background on what Marxism itself is so that we understand what terms we're starting with. | |
| So Marx believed that class warfare was inevitable, that in a capitalist system, workers are inherently oppressed and exploited by their employers, that if you work a job for a corporation or any form of business, a factory, whatever, that you're effectively a wage slave. | |
| Now, that's... | |
| it doesn't really... | |
| Makes sense, and there's a lot of things you can get into there, but that's not really the point of this video, so that's something that I might tackle in a later on video. | |
| But class is the ultimate unifier in Marxist theory, in the original Marxist theory, the classical Marxism. | |
| Class unifies people, so workers, factory workers, agricultural workers, people who work on mechanical stuff like garages and stuff, those people are unified by their, you know, Middle class, maybe they're below middle class, poor working people. | |
| They are unified in Marxist theory. | |
| The problem with Marxism is that he looks at social issues as a science, that people are, it's kind of determinist in an idea. | |
| But the basic idea is that at a certain point there'd be a boiling point and workers, or the proletariat as he called them, would unite against the rich capitalist bourgeoisie. | |
| The catalyst in Marx's theory for that would be likely war, because he believed that war was a product of capitalism, and people would no longer want to tolerate war, therefore they would no longer want to tolerate capitalism, and they would throw off their capitalist societies and institute a communist utopia. | |
| This didn't happen, because Marxism was written down in the Communist Manifesto in 1848, and we saw two world wars. | |
| In the 20th century, and we did not see a communist utopia ushered into Europe, in mainland Europe at least. | |
| So part of that was because one thing that was not predicted by Marx or Engels, his colleague, was that poor Brits felt that they had more kinship with the crown than they did with poor Germans across the sea. | |
| And that was a big problem because you can't have Marxism without the class unifier. | |
| So after the war, Marxist thinkers kind of had to revise their ideology in order to adapt it to the new modern world and the new reality that they saw. | |
| So there was a couple different movements that took hold after the First World War and the Second World War. | |
| To figure this out, and one of them was what was called the Institute for Social Research. | |
| There's a lot of history in that school, but we're just going to cover the basics. | |
| It was founded in Frankfurt, Germany, and it was a Marxist think tank. | |
| The Frankfurt School is the birthplace of what would now be called cultural Marxism. | |
| Essentially what cultural Marxists believe is that economic class is not the root problem. | |
| It's just a symptom of the deeper problems in society. | |
| And you need to work out a way to fix those in order to fix the class problem and then bring in a communist utopia. | |
| That basically paves the way for what we would call social justice these days. | |
| Social justice warriors are trying to produce equity in these different realms of society because everybody fits into one of two categories, and that's either the oppressed or the oppressors. | |
| And so it's race. | |
| White people are the oppressors. | |
| Black people are the oppressed. | |
| Men... | |
| Gender are the oppressors. | |
| Women are the oppressed. | |
| Religion. | |
| Christians are the oppressors. | |
| Muslims are the oppressed. | |
| So it divides every possible category. | |
| Race, religion, nationality, culture, gender, everything. | |
| It divides them into oppressed versus oppressors. | |
| And social justice, which is semi-related to cultural Marxism, is... | |
| A necessary step in order to bring in economic equity. | |
| You need social equity and then you need economic equity. | |
| So this is what you see when you look at colleges that have quotas. | |
| They have, you know, black people, for example, they have points added to their tests. | |
| Whenever they apply for college, whereas white people and Asians have points deducted from theirs because these people are just on average more successful in school, whereas black people are seen to need a little boost by the cultural Marxists or the social justice warriors. | |
| This is why you see diversity quotas in tech companies where they require that a certain number of women be hired in certain positions in corporations like Facebook or Google, etc., all those different things. | |
| They think that because women are oppressed by men, women are underrepresented in that field. | |
| Therefore, we need to establish equity in that field by ensuring that an equal number of women are hired as men. | |
| And that is probably the most evident aspect of cultural Marxism that you see in your everyday life. | |
| What you don't see quite as much is the critical theorists in colleges and academia. | |
| A lot of them have PhDs or they teach in these colleges. | |
| They kind of delve deeper into it. | |
| Cultural Marxism... | |
| Critical theory, post-modernism, social justice movements, they're all very deeply interwoven, but they're not all exactly the same. | |
| So that's a discussion for a different time. | |
| But equity in society paves the way for communism, which would be equity in the economy. | |
| But in order to... | |
| To get to that point, in order for all these other things to take place, what they discovered at the Frankfurt School was that you need to destroy the morality of a society in order to take it down to the next step. | |
| And this is actually something that had them driven from Austria. | |
| They were in Austria at one point, or one of the members of the Frankfurt School was in Austria, and they had... | |
| A program in a school, a primary school, in which children were basically taught very, very loose sexual boundaries. | |
| They were told that it was basically the free love movement before the free love movement, and it didn't get going. | |
| So they were actually, this person was actually driven from Austria, they were banned, because at that time people were not willing. | |
| It was not... | |
| At the point that we're at now where sexualization of children is just openly advocated in liberal media. | |
| But that's one way that they do it. | |
| They need to erode the moral standards of a society in order to desensitize you to these different ideals that are coming in. | |
| One way that they do that is through education, as you've seen. | |
| I mean, kindergarten through senior year of high school is nothing but indoctrination these days. | |
| And then furthermore, whenever you get into universities, it's even more of an echo chamber than it was before, and you can't even challenge these people because they have tenure. | |
| It's a mess there, but people are indoctrinated to believe these left-wing ideologies. | |
| That is essentially what is happening in the education system. | |
| They do it through entertainment, which is Hollywood. | |
| You see the glorification of communist socialist ideals. | |
| And even if it's not so much the actual communism that's glorified, you do see the erosion of morality. | |
| And I don't think I really need to explain why. | |
| Or how they're doing that because you can just look at it. | |
| Look at how Hollywood promotes sex. | |
| Look at the sexual deviancy that is promoted in Hollywood, not just in the movies but in the actual society itself. | |
| Just look at that and look at what they're pumping into the homes of every American household through television and the music industry, etc. | |
| So that's one way that that happens. | |
| If you look... | |
| The same people that are making these movies and music and all that other stuff, they believe the same thing that these academics believe. | |
| Even if they don't have it fully fleshed out in an academic manner, their beliefs that is, they do believe the same basic things as far as social justice and equity and all that stuff. | |
| The other main area that they promote these ideas is in the news media. | |
| And this isn't so much... | |
| They don't necessarily promote actual communism so much in the news media, at least in the mainstream media like CNN or MSNBC. They don't really promote communism, but they don't show its negatives. | |
| So that's an issue in and of itself because they do talk about the negatives of the former traditional aspects of our society. | |
| So in the news media, you do see them Talking against capitalism or against Christianity or against conservative ideals. | |
| You do see that, but you don't necessarily see them advocating for communism. | |
| Probably the news media's biggest attack on morality is just promoting immorality because they say that they don't really care so much about the news anymore. | |
| They care more about promoting immorality under the guise of Promotion of tolerance. | |
| You can't say anything about a pride parade where there's a 10-year-old child twerking, a 10-year-old boy. | |
| You can't say anything about a pride parade where a 10-year-old boy is twerking and dancing and wearing shiny gold underwear and nothing else and shaking his butt while a bunch of grown men, pedophiles, watch him. | |
| You can't say anything about that because that's taken as you... | |
| Making fun of homosexuals. | |
| You can't say anything about children. | |
| Being given hormone pills or hormone blockers to prevent them from going into puberty, you can't say anything about that because that's transphobic. | |
| Never mind the fact that you're looking out for the kid and you don't want their adult growth, if you will, to be stunted for the rest of their life, not to mention their brains, not to mention any of the other things, any of the other damages, like the extremely high, I believe it's 47% attempted suicide rate in the transgender community. | |
| So never mind the fact that you're trying to... | |
| It doesn't matter. | |
| There's no negatives. | |
| All that you're doing is being transphobic. | |
| That is what the news media does. | |
| If you look at CNN, MSNBC, any of these places, you don't really see promotion of communism. | |
| Most of the time, they're not outright saying that you should engage in this depravity. | |
| They're just saying that you cannot speak out against those who do want to practice that immorality or depravity or decadence. | |
| So those are the three main pillars, education, entertainment, and the news media that are promoting these things. | |
| We're in a period of extreme moral desensitization right now. | |
| It's way further gone than I think we would like to believe. | |
| I do think we could see a swing back towards conservative morality here in the future if things go in the right direction. | |
| However, that's contingent upon... | |
| Upon people listening to this stuff, understanding what's going on and out there, spreading the word, as well as people like me breaking it down and spreading the word through the medium that I have, it's very, very important because societies collapse when immorality like this runs rampant. | |
| You cannot have a functioning society, especially one like the Western culture, because Western culture, its foundation is a certain level of decency. | |
| Other cultures don't have that foundation of decency, but other cultures are failed. | |
| You look at most of the cultures in the Middle East, they are absolute failures. | |
| Most of the cultures in Africa are failures. | |
| Some of the cultures in Southeast Asia are failures, and that's because they don't have these ideas of decency that the West has, which are the... | |
| Ideas that are under attack by Marxists. | |
| And those ideals essentially come down to a certain level of individualism, at least the idea that the individual is sacred and has a certain level of sovereignty on their own. | |
| The idea of individual rights, which falls under individual sovereignty. | |
| Limited government is a big one, but... | |
| Conservative morality is very, very important to those, and I think it's one that a lot of people have ignored in recent years. | |
| Nobody's saying that... | |
| Everyone needs to live a Puritan lifestyle, but this idea that you cannot criticize absolute depravity like the glorification of pedophilia, sexualization of children under the cover of homosexual pride or any of those things, the idea that you can't do that stuff just is a testament to how far gone our society has come. | |
| And I think that that is probably the biggest... | |
| Red alarm that needs to be seen by everybody watching this. | |
| Because the next thing that comes, the thing that has already tried to make its way into the mainstream, is actual economic socialism through people like Bernie Sanders. | |
| Because they've gotten things out of the way like... | |
| Social justice. | |
| And they've already set up this framework of oppressed versus oppressors. | |
| So now what do we have? | |
| Now we have rich versus poor as well. | |
| And that was never something actually considered in America until very recently. | |
| I mean, you know, there's always been fringe groups in America that have identified as communists or socialists or Marxists, Marxist-Leninists. | |
| They're all effectively the same as far as we're concerned. | |
| But there's never been such a widespread group of people that identified as that, partially because old-school America during the Cold War understood the dangers of communism. | |
| I will be doing a video on McCarthyism pretty soon, and I also will be doing a video on the degeneracy and decadence of our society. | |
| That'll be coming up pretty soon, too. | |
| However... | |
| It was not a widespread idea that rich versus poor was a viable fight in America because Americans aspired to be rich. | |
| Alexei de Tocqueville was a Frenchman that came to America in the late 1800s, I believe. | |
| Maybe mid-1800s, I don't remember exactly. | |
| But he came from France, and he took a tour of the nation, basically. | |
| I'm not talking about Republican Party. | |
| I'm talking about the Republican idea that America had because servers were referred to as sir, like waiters and waitresses were sir or ma'am to the American because everybody is a sovereign individual and is respectful to each other. | |
| One thing that he wrote is there's no poor person in America, only temporarily embarrassed millionaires. | |
| And that's something that America has kind of held Close to its heart for a long time because back in the 80s, the 90s, Donald Trump was greatly admired by Americans because he was, in effect, the manifestation, the utmost manifestation of the American dream, I guess. | |
| Not everybody exactly wanted to be quite in that station of life, but he was the manifestation of the American dream. | |
| But because we've seen this degradation of morality in our society, oppressed versus oppressors becoming the new normal, There's no in-between. | |
| If you talk to most college students, there's no in-between. | |
| It's just either you are oppressed or you are the oppressor. | |
| Because of that, now we have the framework perfectly set up for it to be rich versus poor. | |
| And you saw this in 2010 to 2013-ish with the Occupy movements. | |
| You've seen it gain traction with Antifa, who is actually now going and advocating full communism, flying hammers and sickles, etc. | |
| And now we have Bernie Sanders, and to a lesser degree we have Elizabeth Warren, who come out and they're advocating actual socialist ideas. | |
| Originally Obama very much said that he opposed socialism, but in the end he did push forward, he did push the United States in a leftward socialist direction, at least with health care and some of the taxes and stuff. | |
| So anyways, because of that moral decay we do have, We do have a push towards actual socialism, which always leads to full communism, which always leads to deaths. | |
| In the 20th century alone, there were 100 million deaths from communism, if you include the Soviet Union, Communist China, Pol Pot, Cuba, all those different countries. | |
| 100 million deaths. | |
| And if we don't do something... | |
| To change the course of our nation, to change the course of history, to prevent us from going down this path. | |
| The globalists want this to be pushed because it causes warring within a people. | |
| It causes infighting, which weakens its divide and conquer, as always. | |
| And that allows, that gives way to essentially... | |
| What will become a one-world government once everyone has fought themselves out, it leaves a vacuum for somebody else to swoop in and take control of everything. | |
| And that's the plan. | |
| So unless we do something with this national sovereignty that's been being restored in the United States and Europe, unless we keep going down that path, we're going to go down the wrong one. | |
| So it's very important that you understand this. | |
| Go out there, read the Communist Manifesto, read other works by Marx, Engels, and other... | |
| Communist writers, it's incredibly important because Western civilization is at a very, very important moment right now because I guess we're at a crossroads. | |
| We're at a fork in the road as far as where we're going to go. | |
| We went down the Obama route and we went down the neocon, neoliberal route, and now we have an opportunity to turn back towards classical Western civilization, and I think every effort needs to be made to go down that road. | |
| So in summary, cultural Marxism is the idea that you need to create social equality, not equality of opportunity, but equality of outcome. | |
| So you need to create equality of outcome in social settings while also degrading the moral standards of a society in order to pave the way for actual communism. | |
| Not all... | |
| Social, cultural Marxists want full communism, but they do all believe in some form of Marxist socialism. | |
| That's effectively the summary of what I'm talking about today. | |
| Hopefully I'll be able to do something more in-depth in the future. | |
| But that's all for now. | |
