Grand delusions of the Cultural Marxists

In the immediate post-war years of the 20th century, there was thought to be no greater threat to the world than that of the great Soviet menace and their most foreign of economic ideologies.  Yet, for all the threatening military power of the Soviet military, it could not compare to the insidious and completely destructive social disease which was spread by the ultra-left.  While indeed the ideas of Marxist-Leninism required revision to bring about a real practicality within itself, and create a creative application, it is widely acknowledged that a communist or Marxist system, in its pure economic sense, cannot take root without a violent revolution at a large human cost.  This naturally means that in a country where stability can be enforced sufficiently through military means, the revolution can be eliminated altogether.  Furthermore, the goals that are consistent with anti-Trotskyist communism, i.e. the concept of “revolution in one country,” can, in theory, exist to serve the general masses.  In that capacity, it becomes a bulwark against social liberalism and bourgeoisie decadence.

There is, however, the matter of the ultra-left, and their maddening rush towards the aforesaid decadence.  They are not concerned, ultimately, in a real “revolution of the masses,” but merely abuse a doctrine as a vehicle for social disruption using a smokescreen of vague terms.  In recent times, those words have become ones such as “democracy,” “human rights,” and even “kindness,” but the truth cannot be obscured, and the terminology used is merely a pathetically worded euphemism meant to fool people and nations into giving up autonomy.  The latter type of person, namely the ultra-leftist, is therefore more a more dangerous and parasitic entity.  This can be seen in the fact that even during the most repressive years of the Soviet Union, there was still a vibrant, albeit controlled cultural life.  Comparing 1960’s “AmeriKwa” to the 1960’s “Soviet Union” is a deep contrast which cannot be denied.  Even the Soviet Union managed to avoid the decadence of the liberal West.

The first grand delusion of the cultural Marxists is that through social engineering, sophistry, and sometimes lies, they can bring about a sort of “silent revolution”.  There was already no doubt that the subversive influence of cultural Marxism and the Frankfurt School helped spark the counterculture social movements of the 1960s as part of a continuing plan of transferring Marxist subversion into cultural terms in the form of Freudo-Marxism.  Today, cultural Marxism is a dominant strain among the bourgeoise Left.  Essentially, it became Marxism which abandoned its economic philosophy and attempted to translate them into economic terms through the linguistic control of “political correctness”.  

Conservative scholar Paul Gottfried in his book, The Strange Death of Marxism, states that Marxism survived and evolved since the fall of the Soviet Union in the form of cultural Marxism:

Neomarxists called themselves Marxists without accepting all of Marx’s historical and economic theories but while upholding socialism against capitalism, as a moral position …. Thereafter socialists would build their conceptual fabrics on Marx’s notion of “alienation,” extracted from his writings of the 1840s …. [they] could therefore dispense with a strictly materialist analysis and shift … focus toward religion, morality, and aesthetics.

The second grand delusion, is of course, that the movement from a traditional worldview to a liberal, relativist worldview is a necessary path to national progress, and that the cultral Marxists wish to effect such change with the interests of morality in mind.  While moral principle does play a role for the leftist of the oversocialized type, the same moral principle cannot be a main principle in the development of the cultural marxist ideology.  Hostility is too prominent within the leftist mind to allow morality to take root.  Instead, what is present is the immoral aspect of secularism.

The author Francis Parker Yockey demonstrated in his book Imperium discussed the effects of cultural Marxism, using Spengler’s analysis as a jumping-point.  Yockey explains how each civilization has its own unique soul and Destiny to be played out upon the world stage. Yockey argues that the coming man of the future or “man of the Twentieth century” must move beyond party-politics and begin the fight to save Western civilization, and further emphasizes that society must be free of Darwinism and Freudo-Marxism.

We can thank the good author, Mr. Yockey, in such an analysis.  Today, the cultural Marxists are the very party-politicals who promote the said Freudo-Marxist antics and decadent bourgeoise ideals.  To implement a mass line which counters the socially toxic effects of the cultural Freudo-Marxists means also mass line to apply a revolutionary spirit to all state activities, keeping in mind that the ultimate aim of culture is guidance of the organic spirit of the people.

The third and final grand delusion of the Cultural Marxists is thus that the people have any need for their sophistry and deception, and that their movement will be successful in tearing down the foundations of human stability or destroying the ramparts of faith.
