It definitly does not exist. If you're a communist, you're an economist front and center. You have a few exeptions, like Gramsci who had his theory of Cultural Hegemony, which was mainly aimed at the domination of liberal ideology and served as an analysis to ty and create a counterculture, and you have the Frankfurter School of Marxism who along the lines of people like Marx, Hegel and Lukàcs analyse and discern society. Neither however concerns themselves largely with the problems you people define as "Cultural Marxism". One of my professors, which is a Frankfurter Marxist even rails against modern gender studies since they often concern themselves with small societal peeves he considers a waste of time (and that they should mainly focus on issues of inequality instead). If anything, the broad array of issues labeled as "Cultural Marxism" should be reclassified as "Cultural Liberalism", for there is no greater deestroyer of culture than capitalism and if anyone is in the process of making einheitswurst, it's liberals. Cultural Marxism is a fad, it never existed in the first place and never wil. |
A true communist is an economist, but how many of those are there these days? Perhaps 1% of the population.
And all these progressive totalitarian leftists of today, they're definitely not liberals, although some of them have hijacked that name.
Funny about your professor though since he's said to belong to the origin of this movement on the higher intellectual and academic level.
Naturally you can't track cultural marxism to just one university though, and I've never belonged to those who claim it's a conspiracy. There's many factors, one of them being the 60's worldwide socialist youth movement when it was still largely economical, but became increasingly cultural. And the last 15-20 years are extremely important.
