Post by HenHannaI quite often come across references to "Cultural Marxism" but
haven't yet seen a convincing definition.
"Cultural Marxism" is a (Conspiracy Theory) asserting that
the followers of Marx are covertly trying
to corrupt, weaken, and destroy the (traditional)
Western civilization and values.

hint: most of these key thinkers are Jewish.
here's a great 15 min. clip explaining it.

(who liked Lenin, Marx, Chomsky...)
got disillusioned and
Thereafter, the younger generation increasingly turned to Derrida,
Foucault, ... then to Zizek.
i'm really enjoying the Clip narrated by
a guy who sounds like an
[Arnold Schwarzenegger with a Ph.D.]
This (Three Arrows) Youtuber says that Philosophy is

The clip includes 4 puzzle-games in which
we are to guess who said these quotes.
Here's one:
culture industry “is infecting everything with sameness.
Film, radio, and magazines form a system.
Each branch of culture is unanimous within itself and all are
unanimous together. Even the aesthetic manifestations of political
opposites proclaim the same inflexible rhythm…
All mass culture under monopoly is identical… Films and radio
no longer need to present themselves as art.”
