Gramsci posited that because Christianity had been dominant in the West for over 2000 years, not only was it fused with Western civilization, but it had corrupted the workers class. The West would have to be de-Christianized, said Gramsci, by means of a "long march through the culture." Additionally, a new proletariat must be created. In his "Prison Notebooks," he suggested that the new proletariat be comprised of many criminals, women, and racial minorities.
The American Thinker : Cultural Marxism
We believe in nothing.
Formerly we had a mild faith in God, Law, Monarchy, Family, Nation, Empire, which were generally commonly held by the vast majority of the public. We had few Laws, and few people who broke the most serious ones. We had a notion of the public and private: our behaviour in open society was governed by a collection of norms, learned from an early age, and our behaviour in private was controlled by Christian orientated personal moral standards.
Marxism tried for three generations to get the proletariat of the West - Britain, Germany - to rise up and create his dream - Communism. The followers of Karl Marx failed dismally. Economic turmoil in the 1880's, 1910's and 1920's failed to move them. The Boer War and the Great War failed to dim the workers of their allegiance to Western civilization.
We have been handed a collection of disembodied slogans - "One World", "Social Justice", "Global Solidarity", "Multiculturalism", "Tolerance" - and a system of judicial and political tyranny to enforce them.
Few of the most intelligent however believe this garbage, they merely are more careful with whom they choose to discuss what is no longer "politically correct" or
Thoughtcrime, they practice
Crimestop in public, putting on a show of being
Goodthinkful. They survive by having as little interaction with the system as possible, they eat healthily, they help their children study etc. They fear the system, but believe that they themselves will survive, through guile.
The great mass are clueless
lumpen-proletariat, who have been made such by those who infected out nation. They have no opinion, they are handed salacious gossip about celebrities and lottery winners, porn and violence,
Prolefeed, from
Minitrue. It's why it's so hard to talk to people in more than a monosyllabic way, they have been retarded to the point
they simply don't understand what you are talking about - they can only speak and think
Newspeak.
The British nation (and all other Western nations) was systematically
deconstructed from 1918 , after the war allegedly to defend "Democracy" and "Freedom". In reality we have seen nothing but
War For Liberty and Democracy in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries . From the moment the Great war was over, the Powers That Be, using their puppets in the three major political parties and the Communist Party within the Trades Unions, put into practice the ideas of Antonio Gramsci, they commenced the CULTURE WAR, a far more deadly and ultimately successful plan greater than any Hitler conjured up. This chap says it better than I :
It was at this time around 1920 that several socialist intellectuals in Europe began to rework the theoretical basics of Marx. Naturally they couldn’t come to grips with the fact that Marx might have been grossly wrong in his worldview. There had to be some other reason why the revolution had not occurred. That reason was supposedly found by two brilliant Marxist theoreticians, Antonio Gramsci in Italy and Georg Lukacs in Hungary. They posited that Western civilization, built as it was on the Judeo-Christian religion, had instilled evil values into man — values of individualism, personal industry, family solidarity, monogamy, private property, patriotism, belief in a Creator God, etc. These values had brainwashed the workers of the world, which kept them from realizing their true destiny, which was to revolt and usher in a classless society. Gramsci and Lukacs insisted that the glorious socialist revolution would be impossible until these Judeo-Christian values had been destroyed. Then the workers would rise up and complete the vision of Marx.
The Frankfurt School
Thus began what Gramsci and Lukacs termed the “long march through the institutions.” This meant the institutions of culture (schools, churches, movies, media, etc.), and it meant taking them over with socialist thinkers and sympathizers. Once taken over, they could then impart “true socialist values” to the people and raise new generations to give their loyalties not to God, country, and individualism, but to the State and collectivism. To implement this new direction in Marxism, they established the Frankfurt School in Frankfurt, Germany and benignly named it the Institute for Social Research.
This school of thought grew rapidly amidst the intellectual left, attracting such thinkers as Max Horkeimer, Theodor Adorno, Eric Fromm, Wilhelm Reich, and Herbert Marcuse to advocate its vision. They all offered different slants on just how to promote Gramsci’s and Lukacs’ goal of a new “cultural Marxism” replacing the old “economic Marxism.” But they all basically agreed that the emphasis should not be on galvanizing workers into revolt as the older Leninist revolutionaries had concentrated on. The new emphasis would be on liberating all men and women from the “evil repression” and “tyrannical values” of Judeo-Christian civilization. To bring this about, they designed numerous strategies to discredit and smear the values that had forged and sustained the West for 2,000 years.
“Critical Theory,” the brain-child of Max Horkeimer, was the first and most important of these strategies. Under its auspices, every tradition of Western life was to be redefined as “prejudice” and “perversion.” And these redefinitions were to be instilled into the social stream via devastating, scholarly criticisms of all values such as the family, marriage, property, individualism, faith in God, etc. These criticisms proved to be quite successful in the aftermath of the world’s collapse into the Great Depression, which brought about widespread disillusionment with the traditional capitalist society that had evolved in the West since the Renaissance and discovery of the New World.
THE CORRUPTION OF AMERICA (but true in Britain, Australia, NZ, Canada and South Africa)
Cultural Marxist techniques (from the blurb with this rather poor video) :
These techniques are broadly based on the Frankfurt School, the University department bought by the Soviet Union in 1935. The Soviets asked it for the best methods of undermining other nations so it could bring them under its control. The EU has been implementing these techniques in Britain since the early 1960s.
1) The creation of Racialism offences
2) Continual change to create confusion
3) The teaching of sex and homosexuality to children
4) Huge immigration to destroy identity and create tension
5) The undermining of schools and teachers authority
6) The promotion of excessive drinking
7) Emptying the Churches
8) An unreliable legal system with bias against the victims of crime
9) Dependency on state or state benefits
10) Control and dumbing down of media and TV
11) The attack on fathers and the encouraging the breakdown of the family
12) Multi-Culturalism
13) The creation of trauma through injustice
14) Destruction of the monetary system
15) Political Correctness
So, nothing that went before, be it God, Family or Nation, are to considered anything other than a perversion., and we have been given the truth by the Cultural Marxists, who pervade and debase our schools, colleges and universities.
Strangely, it hasn't worked. No new morality, no new code of ethics have grown up naturally to replace the Ten Commandments, or notions of light, of love or kindness.
They have created a living hell for the majority of people.
Their social engineering dreams have created the sink estates to dump the social misfits educated in the sink schools. This has begun to spread beyond the wind blown, tatters streets of the social housing estates, because there are simply not enough units of accommodation to house them all.
I grew up in a house much like this design above. It was an estate filled with good hard working people in the seventies. It is hell now. It breaks my heart.
Their Welfare schemes, all constructed to destroy the former moral and social behaviour patterns, had blossomed into a ludicrous system where they would happily pay more to a single woman with children than to a married couple.
It's ideas of alleged liberty and deformed freedoms have encouraged several generations of children to imagine that physical copulation somehow reflects "love", and has managed to reverse the centuries of reducing the incidence of syphilis and other sexually transmitted disease, and has caused a boom in unmarried single women with three or more children, none of whom know their father (likelihood is that the girl has no idea either).
It's recreation of Law and Order has entrapped us in a tyranny of Napoleonic and Roman law chicanery, creating crimes of thoughts and opinions, whilst allowing Gangs of Negro youth and Islamic Prostitution collectives to roam like savage wild beasts. The streets are saturated with illegal and decriminalized narcotics, whose dealers find a ready market because everyone is so, completely, absolutely
miserable happy, and want to
drown out the world celebrate how ecstatically happy they are.
Real work versus useless work.
It's economic planning has created the service sector economy, which is destroying us. It destroyed the Protestant Work Ethic, asset stripped the economic base, and entrapped greater numbers each year into miserable pointless slog, poorly paid part time work, which is so financially unrewarding that a huge, bureaucratic welfare operation has to exist to subsidize scum like TESCO and ASDA's wage bill the piss poor wage received.
And their visceral hatred of Christianity, even the most mid Church of England variety, has lead them into the arms of Clerical Fasacism.
Seriously.
The London Times found that one cleric who had lectured the UCL Islamic Society was on record as saying of the Jews (inevitably): "They're all the same. They've monopolised everything: the Holocaust, God, money, interest, usury, the world economy, the media, political institutions… they monopolised tyranny and oppression as well." Alongside the racism came the concomitant sexism, homophobia and hatred of the western world. Channel 4, for instance, had caught another visiting imam on camera saying that the testimony of women was worth half that of a man. As for gays, he added: "Do you practise homosexuality with men? Take that homosexual man and throw him off the mountain."
You might have thought that in light of the above, academics would have wanted to protect their students. In particular, they should have wanted to protect Muslim students from going the way of Abdulmutallab.
Instead of facing the problem squarely, they pretended it did not exist.Philippe Sands, a law professor who is always alleging that Tony Blair is a "criminal" for overthrowing Saddam Hussein's genocidal tyranny, appeared undisturbed by the existence of actual criminals among his university's alumni. He didn't want to spy or snoop on his students, he said, and did not see why anyone should want him to. Other speakers followed the example set by the UCL's provost, Malcolm Grant, and avoided discussing extremism in the university by the shabby trick of denouncing those who wanted to talk about it as "Islamophobes".
The Observer, 10th Oct. 2010
And this cultural Marxism has spread to all three major political parties. The Tories are as bereft of any ideology not dictated from the Fabian Society (the official face of Socialism and Marxism in the UK) as the Labour and Liberal Parties are. The laughable parody of British politics, where we see politicians of all stripes grovel and fawn to the local Imam or Mullah, the packed audiences for speeches, filled with dark faces and darker stares.
All of them believe, absolutely, in the changes wrought by the cultural Marxists. None of them challenges anything other than the most unimportant aspects of any of it: and 99.9% of the time the criticism comes down to means not ends.
We are in the last phase of cultural Marxism - the collapse. The whole kit and caboodle will tip arse upwards when the population become sick to death of being called homophobes, misogynists, haters, racists and bigots, and cultural imperialists When they are finally revolted by being lectured by a tin pot dictator from the Unions, blabbering about what a terrible life his members have, forced to live on public sector salaries with a gold plated pension scheme, whilst the public face their own live sliding down shit creek without a paddle.
There's a lesson to be learned here. The last time there was a serious, society wide collapse in an European nation, this young man was on hand, and was successful because no-one else had any answers. And the punters in the street were desperate.
