The New Left, Cultural Marxism, and Psychopolitics Disguised as Multiculturalism
Linda Kimball

There are two misconceptions held by many Americans. The first is that communism ceased to be a threat when the Soviet Union imploded. The second is that the New Left of the Sixties collapsed and disappeared as well. “The Sixties are dead,” wrote columnist George Will (Slamming the Doors, Newsweek, Mar. 25, 1991)
Because the New Left lacked cohesion it fell apart as a political movement. However, its revolutionaries reorganized themselves into a multitude of single issue groups. Thus we now have for example, radical feminists, black extremists, anti-war ‘peace’ activists, animal rights groups, radical environmentalists, and ‘gay’ rights groups. All of these groups pursue their piece of the radical agenda through a complex network of subversive organizations such as the Gay Straight Lesbian Educators Network (GSLEN), the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), People for the American Way, United for Peace and Justice, Planned Parenthood, Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States (SIECUS), and Code Pink for Peace.

Both communism and the New Left are alive and thriving here in America. Code words by which they can be recognized are: tolerance, social justice, economic justice, peace, reproductive rights, sex education and safe sex, safe schools, inclusion, diversity, and sensitivity. All together, this is Cultural Marxism disguised as multiculturalism.

Birth of Multiculturalism

In anticipation of the revolutionary storm that would baptize the world in an inferno of red terror, leading to its rebirth as the promised land of social justice and proletarian equality—Frederich Engels wrote, “All the…large and small nationalities are destined to perish…in the revolutionary world storm… (A general war will) wipe out all…nations, down to their very names. The next world war will result in the disappearance from the face of the earth not only reactionary classes…but…reactionary peoples.” (The Magyar Struggle, Neue Rheinische Zeitung, Jan. 13, 1849)

By the end of WWI, socialists realized that something was amiss, for the world’s proletariat had not heeded Marx’s call to rise up in opposition to evil capitalism and to embrace communism instead. They wondered what had gone wrong.

Separately, two Marxist theorists—Antonio Gramsci of Italy and Georg Lukacs of Hungary—concluded that the Christianized West was the obstacle standing in the way of a communist new world order. The West would have to be conquered first.

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 new battleground, reasoned Gramsci, must become the culture, starting with the traditional family and completely engulfing churches, schools, media, entertainment, civic organizations, literature, science, and history. All of these things must be radically transformed and the social and cultural order gradually turned upside-down with the new proletariat placed in power at the top.

In 1919, Georg Lukacs became Deputy Commissar for Culture in the short-lived Bolshevik Bela Kun regime in Hungary. He immediately set plans in motion to de-Christianize Hungary. Reasoning that if Christian sexual ethics could be undermined among children, then both the hated patriarchal family and the Church would be dealt a crippling blow, Lukacs--towards this end--launched a radical sex education program in the schools. Sex lectures were organized and literature handed out which graphically instructed youth in free love (promiscuity) and sexual intercourse while simultaneously encouraging them to deride and reject Christian moral ethics, monogamy, and parental and church authority. All of this was accompanied by a reign of cultural terror perpetrated against parents, priests, and dissenters.

Hungary’s youth, having been fed a steady diet of values-neutral (atheism) and radical sex education while simultaneously encouraged to rebel against all authority, easily turned into delinquents ranging from bullies and petty thieves to sex predators, murderers, and sociopaths.

Lukacs plans were the precursor to what Cultural Marxism in the guise of SIECUS, GSLEN, and the ACLU--acting as enforcer--later brought into American schools.

In 1923, the Frankfurt School—a Marxist think-tank—was founded in Weimar Germany. Among its founders were Georg Lukacs, Herbert Marcuse, and Theodor Adorno. The school was a multidisciplinary effort which included sociologists, sexologists, and psychologists.

The primary goal of the Frankfurt School was to translate Marxism from economic terms into cultural terms. Toward this end, Marcuse—who favored polymorphous perversion—expanded the ranks of Gramsci’s new proletariat by including homosexuals, lesbians, and transsexuals. Into this was spliced Lukacs radical sex education and cultural terrorism tactics. Gramsci’s ‘long march’ was added to the mix, and then all of this was wedded to Freudian psychoanalysis and psychological conditioning techniques. The end product was Cultural Marxism, known in the West as multiculturalism.

In 1950, the Frankfurt School augmented Cultural Marxism with Theodor Adorno’s idea of the ‘authoritarian personality.’ This concept is premised on the notion that Christianity, capitalism, and the traditional family create a character prone to racism and fascism. Thus, anyone who upholds America’s traditional moral values and institutions is both racist and fascist. Children raised by traditional values parents, we are told to believe, will almost certainly become racists and fascists. By extension, if fascism and racism are endemic to America’s traditional culture, then everyone raised in the traditions of God, family, patriotism, gun ownership, or free markets is in need of psychological help.

The pernicious influence of Adorno’s ‘authoritarian personality’ idea can be clearly seen in the following quote: “In Aug., 2003, the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) announced the results of their $1.2 million tax-payer funded study. It stated, essentially, that traditionalists are mentally disturbed. Scholars from the Universities of Maryland, California at Berkeley, and Stanford had determined that social conservatives…suffer from ‘mental rigidity,’ ‘dogmatism,’ and ‘uncertainty avoidance,’ together with associated indicators for mental illness.” (www.edwatch.org ‘Social and Emotional Learning” Jan. 26, 2005) From this Orwellian quote we can see just how successful has been Gramsci’s ‘long march through the culture.’

The corresponding and diabolically crafted corrective idea is political correctness. The strong suggestion here is that in order for one not to be thought of as racist or fascist, then one must not only be nonjudgmental but must also embrace the ‘new’ moral absolutes: diversity, choice, sensitivity, sexual orientation, and tolerance. Political correctness is a Machiavellian psychological ‘command and control’ device. Its purpose is the imposition of uniformity in thought, speech, and behavior.

Critical theory is yet another psychological ‘command and control’ device. As stated by Daniel J. Flynn, “Critical Theory, as its name implies, criticizes. What deconstruction does to literature, Critical Theory does to societies.” (Intellectual Morons, p 15-16) Critical Theory is an ongoing and brutal assault via vicious criticism relentlessly leveled against Christians, Christmas, the Boy Scouts, Ten Commandments, our military, and all other aspects of traditional American culture and society.

Both political correctness and Critical Theory are in essence, psychological bullying. They are the psycho political battering rams by which Frankfurt School disciples such as the ACLU are forcing Americans to submit to and to obey the will and the way of the Left. These devious devices are but psychological versions of Georg Lukacs and Laventi Beria’s ‘cultural terrorism’ tactics. In the words of Beria, “Obedience is the result of force…Force is the antithesis of humanizing actions. It is so synonymous in the human mind with savageness, lawlessness, brutality, and barbarism, that it is only necessary to display an inhuman attitude toward people to be granted by those people the possessions of force.” (The Russian Manual on Psychopolitics: Obedience, by Laventi Beria, head of Soviet Secret Police and Stalin’s right-hand man)

Double-thinking ‘fence-sitters’, otherwise known as moderates, centrists, and RINOs are an obvious result of these psychological ‘obedience’ techniques. These people—afraid of incurring the wrath of name-calling obedience trainers--- have opted to straddle the fence lest they be found guilty of possessing an opinion, one way or another. At the merest hint of displeasure from the obedience-trainers, up goes the yellow flag of surrender upon which it is boldly written: “I believe in nothing and am tolerant of everything!”

The linchpin of Cultural Marxism is cultural determinism, the parent of identity politics and group solidarity. In its turn, cultural determinism was birthed by the Darwinian idea that man is but a soulless animal and therefore his identity is determined by for example, his skin color or his sexual and/or erotic preferences. This proposition rejects the concepts of the human spirit, individuality, free will, and morally informed conscience (paired with personal accountability and responsibility) because it emphatically denies the existence of the God of the Bible. Consequently, and by extension, it also rejects the first principles of our liberty enumerated in the Declaration of Independence. These are our “unalienable rights, among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” Cultural Marxism must reject these because these principles of liberty “are endowed by our Creator,” who made man in His image.

Cultural determinism, states David Horowitz, is “identity politics—the politics of radical feminism, queer revolution, and Afro-centrism—which is the basis of academic multiculturalism…a form of intellectual fascism and, insofar as it has any politics, of political fascism as well.” (Mussolini and Neo-Fascist Tribalism: Up from Multiculturalism, by David Horowitz, Jan. 1998)

It is said that courage is the first of the virtues because without it fear will paralyze man, thus keeping him from acting upon his moral convictions and speaking truth. Thus bringing about a general state of paralyzing fear, apathy, and submission—the chains of tyranny—is the purpose behind psychopolitical cultural terrorism, for the communist Left’s revolutionary agenda must, at all costs, be clothed in darkness.

The antidote is courage and the light of truth. If we are to win this cultural war and reclaim and rebuild America so our children and their children’s children can live in a ‘Shining City on the Hill’ where liberty, families, opportunity, free markets, and decency flourish, we must muster the courage to fearlessly expose the communist Left’s revolutionary agenda to the Light of Truth. Truth and the courage to speak it will set us free.

pretty right on, imho
 
Here's my question: is there some sort of contest to see who can bash "the liberals" the most? I mean many of you people are freaking obsessed. It's like you can't escape the vast left-wing conspiracy. It seems like "the left" is all-incompetent and yet omnipotent at the same time. Don't you people have anything better to do than just go on and on all day about how much you hate liberals? Why not do something that's actually constructive instead of whining all day about how "the liberals" are out to get you? It's always "liberals this" and "liberals that" whine, whine, whine. Why don't you just run to your mommies and get them to fight away the big, old, liberal bullies?

How about actually accomplishing something for once? What ever happened to the whole 'fiscal restraint' bit? It's not "the liberals" fault anymore. You've had 6 fucking years with control of all three branches of government to get on it and I haven't seen anything. Hey, I have an idea: let's require that all government contracts be open to competitive bidding so taxpayer money gets saved while reducing corruption within the Federal government. No. The fucking conservative have to go on a two month blitzkerg about how "the liberals"(such as WalMart) are saying 'Happy Holidays'. Guess what ladies and gentlemen: New Years is a holiday too. I know, why not start to phase out Medicare and Medicaid, both of which are going to consume the government? No, instead it's always about how "the liberals" are going to marry the gays and come kill us in our sleep?

Now in no way are "the liberals" angels of the light. NCLB, for all it's flaws, is the first step in the right direction the Federal government has taken to solving the educational crisis in decades. Plus this whole withdrawal talk is riddiculous. You've got to clean up the mess you've made, but, NEWSFLASH, the conservatives won the last election.

It's time to stop acting like you're the "poor me" victims of some damn conspiracy and start acting like you're the fucking party in power. Use the presidency; use the House; use the Senate; use the Federal Courts; you control all of them. Start to do what you were put in power to do. Stop bitching about how the mean, old liberals are screwing everything up. It's time to start using your power and if there's a problem, DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT instead of bitching all day and complaining about flag burning. Do that and I'll guarantee you the "Perpetual GOP Majority" everyone of you dreams about.

I'm happy for you, but do you think you could add some paragraphs or some sort of spaces? It's really hard to read and think all crammed together like that.

LOL, sounds just like something one of our token liberals posted recently:

As for my views on the economy, they are shaped by a concern for fiscal responsibility and economic justice. Neither of which are on the GOP's or Chimpy's radar.

Oh yea, I see what you mean. I just wrote it through and edited out a repeated sentence. I'll get on it right now.

Okay, I think that should make it easier. It kind of takes away from the rant feeling, but it's adequate. I tried to divide it into related sections; however, it wasn't written with paragraphs in mind so it doesn't transition very well. It gets the job done though.

Thank you, it's much better!

I've been known to disagree with the administration from time to time. :laugh: So has Jeff, usually at different times though. Depends on the issues.

Hey, I have an idea: let's require that all government contracts be open to competitive bidding so taxpayer money gets saved while reducing corruption within the Federal government.Many of us have been complaining about that, for longer than you've been here. Many of us before the election and we let the GOP know it. Problem is, in war it's hard not to run deficits. Then of course when things go badly, which they inevitably do in war, it's very easy for an administration to let its members pork out, to keep their votes when they need them. That wasn't an excuse, rather an observation. Competive bidding is good most of the time. There are times, when time is of the essence or security clearances, or only one company can do it, that it's not feasible. No. The fucking conservative have to go on a two month blitzkerg about how "the liberals"(such as WalMart) are saying 'Happy Holidays'. Guess what ladies and gentlemen: New Years is a holiday too.

No, instead it's always about how "the liberals" are going to marry the gays and come kill us in our sleep? I won't fight you on those points, any of them. I wouldn't have put the last one the way you did, but as you said, it was your 'rant.'

Now in no way are "the liberals" angels of the light. NCLB, for all it's flaws, is the first step in the right direction the Federal government has taken to solving the educational crisis in decades.

Yeah, though I disagree at least in part with NCLB.

Preaching to the choir here. I don't know what is GW's, Denny's, or Bill's problem. They keep trying to 'compromise' when they really don't have to. :dunno: They are losing with that strategy.

Two things:
1. Hypocracy? Me? Where? No way. Sure, I've changed my position on occasion, but not hypocracy. Hypocracy isn't even a valid form of argument.
2. Yes, there are a lot of conservatives and republicans who have disagreements with the Bush administration (like you and Jeff), but so many conservatives are willing to throw these values under the rug and spend their time going on about the liberals. It's getting old. Plus then there's an entire brigade of conservative (excuse my French) whores who shill for Bush without relent. **Edit- I know someone's going to try to prattle on about how liberals do this too. No shit Sherlock. But it doesn't give you the to act like an idiot too. Constructive critical ranting is what I'm about**

I could see running deficits in a war, but starting a war and then cutting taxes...

1. Boeing can find a competitive contractor in less than three hours if need by through it's new online system. Time isn't a problem.
2. Sure, if only one company is able to do the job, then they get it, but that doesn't mean that the bidding can't be open, even if we know only one company is going to bid.

I voted Bush in '04 for three reasons:
1. I knew he'd stay in Iraq until the job was done.
2. I thought that he'd start to show some sign of fiscal discipline.
3. I thought he'd reduce the size of the Federal government.
I got one right.

Only point of contention, when you say 'you conservatives' that's the same generalization you were making about blaming, whining, about 'liberals'. Both are wrong. Other than that, we mostly agree on substance, though I've no problem with the tax cuts. ;)

Sorry, I wrote it in the heat of the moment. I'll change it.
 
On second thought, I'm making it "many of" instead.

In your eyes, is the generalization problem taken care of?

Ps. You do have to admit that there are a preponderous number of anti-liberal articles posted here.

Yes, to both. On the other hand the liberals here are strident enough to make up for them. You and nuc are the two liberals that come to mind, for being open to discussion, though I'm sure there are others. On the other hand, I know that on the right, there are more than just Jeff and myself.

Seems fair enough.

Bully occasionally posts some anti-conservative tirade that I don't like. I haven't seen anything from jillian, Dr.Grump, or acludem in a while. And Psychoblues? Not a liberal.
1014 post later, with my official voting record, and despite my frequent protestations to the contrary, the liberal label sticks to me. What honestly makes you think I'm one of them. Sure I don't hold mostly conservative views, but I don't hold many liberal ones either. How can I prove myself for what I truely am?

See, I would probably consider you a slightly left moderate, considering your age, working towards conservativism. :ducking:
