By “body of work,” I reference the wiki piece. Basically, it’s easy to indoctrinate people into this cult of Marx. The way you do that is to foment hatred toward a theoretical enemy and make your cult feel really superior about themselves. You must have a priesthood. The supposed academic theory behind this represents the inner school of the priesthood. It’s not always clear if they’re “in on the joke” or merely indoctrinated, but it is safe to say anyone doing anything other than theft and usurpation based on Marx is not inside the circle.
- bbor 3y agoThanks for clarifying! You’re a good writer, I hope you know. As someone who grew up with a sickle-shaped milk bottle I disagree, but I’m sure you’re used to that on the internet. If you ever scroll back and find this, I have one refutation/followup/confusion: cultural Marxism isn’t a theory proposed by marxists, it’s a term that anti-marxists used. Eg https://www.breitbart.com/tag/cultural-marxism/ https://www.breitbart.com/tag/cultural-marxism/. So in that context it’s a little justified to have a wiki page on it.
