No. The term originated in the propaganda publications of the National Socialist German Workers Party (NaZi for short) prior to WW2. They claimed that Marxism, Democracy, and Liberalism were all part of a Jewish plot to destroy the "aryan race." They called this conspiracy theory "kulturabolshewismus" or Cultural Bolshevism/Marxism.
Doesn't matter if he apologizes after, his base still got the intention
Funny that many on the radical economic right wing accuses "the left" of being the pawns of ~the sinister jewish cabal~ when many on the radical economic left accuse "the right" of being the same thing.
It's almost as if there is no sinister jewish cabal
I thought libertarians were meant to be the nice guys who just want small government, I spose the facade occasionally cracks and you see where their motivation comes from. Not from a genuine honest belief that less government makes thing better for people but from a selfish and cynical place.
Cultural Bolshevism had more to do with censoring modern arts of the time that the Nazi Party disapproved of (Which could be Marxism, Democracy, Liberalism, or just whatever the fuck the NSDAP accused of being against their values that day), the whole conspiracy thing and the term Cultural Marxism didn't happen until way past WW2.
cultural bolshevism was actually hitler getting back for being rejected in art school, prove me wrong
That's "degenerate art" you're thinking of. The Nazis had a Jewish conspiracy for everything, they also had "black music" and "sexual communism".
I should also mention that "cultural marxism" was a term that languushed in obscurity until recently when a Nazi terrorist named Anders Breivik blamed it in his manifesto.
I'm calling absolute bullshit on that claim about anti-semetic conspiracies being common on the left. That's definitely not a thing.
Maybe things are different in the US but in the UK I think it is the case.
I'm a left winger myself btw and a pretty far left one compared to americans (advocate for heavy gov involvement via regulation, LVT, UBI and nationalisation of utilities and public transport, while allowing private companies to compete with the gov provided service where possible) and I think it's better to admit a problem and have it addressed than to let it linger.
I can provide some links from google if you want to read into anti-semetic conspiracy theories from the left wing.
"Blame the jews" is literally the oldest conspiracy theory in the book, it's been a thing for over 2000 years now, ever since Democritus claimed the Jews were kidnapping people to steal their blood.
Nope not sarcasm. Legitimately next time someone starts blathering their mouth about cultural marxism I'll tell em they're idiots for repeating nazi propaganda. Absolutely no sarcasm at all. I assumed the cultural marxism thing was a modern term from idiots who like to talk about "the austrian school" and complain about academics
lol you unironically need to go read the frankfurt school
My dad believes this tripe. Moved to a foreign fucking country because of his retarded ron-paul related conspiracy theories, and now believes in this horrid crap. Disgusting.
Ah, sorry for going for your throat then. I can't tell you how many people on this site think ignorance completely absolves you from saying/doing horrible shit.
Should have guessed as much, I'm well behind on my far-right memeage. Probably for the best.
Well, it would be more accurate to say it's a synonym for "everything someone on the far right dislikes." since postmodernist marxism is an oxymoron. The frankfurt school bogeymen absolutely hated postmodernism.
shhh
don't let the secret out that there isn't a more modernist philosophy than marxism
You will see variations in how people construct the cultural marxist conspiracy, that's where terms like "postmodernist neo-marxism" come from, but not in any way that actually
makes it less harmful. The problem these people end up having always lies in the conspirators, not the conspiracy, and while it's good that they might not be onboard with antisemitism they
still believe in some genocidal Illuminati-esque organization killing western civilization with political correctness.
you for forgetting the unibrow beaner
I'm pretty sure that picture is literally the most racist thing that I've ever seen.
Interesting, I don't think a lot of people are aware of this etymology. I looked it up and it does have a strong correlation in far right conspiracy groups.
Ben "The One Man Klan" Garrison strikes again I see.
It wasn't even his comic, it was just a racist edit with his name pasted on (I assume to make fun of him?)
It's a running joke, making extremely offensive comics and crediting them to Ben Garrison. Sorta like those memes about Sam Raimi and the Spiderman movies having offensive quotes in them.
Originally Garrison was the butt of the joke, yes, but he stopped being upset by it years ago, which kind of defeats the point. Now it's a meme that that people only post because they're
expected to.
My favorite is when they take CAD comics and credit them to “Bum Tickley”
It was a joke back when 4chan were ironic nazis. Now they're really nazis and Ben is perfectly on board with it.
Any community that gets its laughs by pretending to be idiots will eventually be flooded by actual idiots who mistakenly believe that they're in good company.
I think 4chan today is a good example of that. Especially /pol/, which was racist for fun and still kind of is, but is also filled with actual racists.
We're stepping into the dangerous and murky waters of "gas the kikes does not objectively mean kill all jews"
If it looks racist, acts racist and sounds racist then they're probably r a c i s t
This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone who is familiar with his newsletters.
Uh no. Cultural Marxism is literally a conspiracy about secret Marxist Jews destroying Western culture in order to destabilize the West. It's the exact same thing as the Nazi's Cultural Bolshevism narrative.
"Given the inefficiencies of what DC laughingly calls the criminal justice system, I think we can safely assume that 95 percent of the black males in that city are semi-criminal or entirely criminal."
"even in my little town of Lake Jackson, Texas, I’ve urged everyone in my family to know how to use a gun in self defense... for the animals are coming."
Another newsletter suggested that black activists who wanted to rename New York City after Martin Luther King, Jr. should instead rename it "Welfaria," "Zooville," "Rapetown," "Dirtburg," or "Lazyopolis."
An article titled "The Pink House" said "I miss the closet. Homosexuals, not to speak of the rest of society, were far better off when social pressure forced them to hide their activities."
Another newsletter asserted that HIV-positive homosexuals "enjoy the pity and attention that comes with being sick" and approved of the slogan "Sodomy=Death."
A number of the newsletters criticized civil rights activist Martin Luther King, Jr., calling him a pedophile and "lying socialist satyr" These articles told readers that Paul had voted against making Martin Luther King,
Jr.'s birthday a federal public holiday, saying "Boy, it sure burns me to have a national holiday for that pro-communist philanderer, Martin Luther King. I voted against this outrage time and time again as a
Congressman. What an infamy that Ronald Reagan approved it! We can thank him for our annual Hate Whitey Day."
In a January 2008 article in The New Republic, James Kirchick, who studied hundreds of Paul's newsletters held at the Kenneth Spencer Research Library at the University of Kansas, and at the Wisconsin Historical
Society, wrote that the newsletters "reveal decades worth of obsession with conspiracies, sympathy for the right-wing militia movement, and deeply held bigotry against blacks, Jews, and gays"
During the 2008 and 2012 presidential election campaigns, Paul and his supporters said that the passages denouncing King were not a reflection of Paul's own views because he considers King a "hero".
Alrighty then.
