Cultural Marxism.
In 2002, Paul M. Weyrich the founder of the conservative think tank, The Free Congress Foundation, asked one of his employees, William S. Lind to come up with a meaning for "Cultural Marxism" and give a lecture on the topic to a Holocaust Denial Conference (run by Willis Carto for his magazine, The Barnes Review). From there the term became popular on the White Nationalist website Stormfront.org, and eventually found it's way onto 4chan, and into The Alt-right, from where it became mainstream conservative discourse. Paul M. Weyrich went on to found another conservative think tank; The Heritage Foundation, in order to continue the spread of the conspiracy theory to conservatives. You can still see anti-Semitic memes related to the term "Cultural Marxism" on it's KnowYourMeme page. As well as find various conspiracy theorist claims about "Cultural Marxist Jews" online via googling that term. It targets all the same groups as the Nazi term "Cultural Bolshevism" (Gays, Jews, Subversives and Communists), and basically means the same thing and operates with the same premise. For instance, The Nazis set up their HQ once they marched into Berlin in a Queer and Cross Dressing nightclub, called The Eldorado club. Here's the before picture, the text reads "Here it's okay/permitted" and here it is once the Nazis had smashed up all the gay/queer/trans folk (the text now reads "vote 1 on Hitler's list"). What's more a large portion of the books burned in the famous book burning photos were from Magnus Hirschfeld's Institute Of Sexology, which was one of the first places to research transgenerism, queer sexuality, and cross dressing. So Cultural Marxism is basically the same theory as The Nazi's Cultural Bolshevism/Judeo-Bolshevism/Degenerate Art Theory. The modern Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory is used in a very similar way, with very similar language, to attack the same groups (often queer, gay, and trans people)... and it's got a solid history of being intertwined with Nazi doctrine/ideology/groups.... all the way down to having antisemitic memes about it featuring Jewish caricatures (both back then, and today). For a more realistic look at the type of analysis The Frankfurt School were actually doing, have a look at the Wikipedia page Marxist cultural analysis or Adorno's essay; Enlightenment As Mass Deception.

The point is; yes, the theory is related to Nazi ideology, and no The Frankfurt School weren't the originators of some unified or ongoing plan to take over America, or damage constitutionalism, western democracy, or Christianity. So now you have the facts, it's up to you to decide whether to continue with ideas that have been proven false, to research and come up with a more convincing argument, or to look for better theories and understandings of why the world is the way it is. 203.129.61.126 (talk) 06:05, 1 October 2023 (UTC)
