Status Updates From The Red Trojan Horse: A Con...

taharrush jamai . It involves surrounding and sexually assaulting non-Muslim women and is considered a healthy form of bonding ritual amongst Muslim men, with fathers and sons even participating together, to reinforce familial relations

thanks to the idiotic rule laid down by Herbert Marcuse that one must maintain an unwaveringly favourable view of minority groups at all times, the political Left refuses to even acknowledge the destructive racism of such groups

Empirical justification counts for nothing; for the Cultural Marxist, furthering of the ideology is all that matters. In common with Classical Marxists, Cultural Marxists can only define themselves in terms of what they are against, rather than what they are for

The oppressive group is assigned at least one negative Pathology , which usually takes the form of an ‘ism’ or a ‘phobia.’ This supposed pathological state is used to imply that the oppressive nature of the group is the result of some form of subconscious sickness, which provides grounds for dismissing any denial of their supposed oppressiveness as a sign of mental delusion

for Marcuse, only revolutionary minorities held the ‘truth,’ and the majority had to be ‘liberated’ from their erroneous ways by being re-educated in the truth by the minorities. He claimed that these revolutionary minorities had every right to suppress alternative viewpoints

Marcuse believed that, under these circumstances, the traditional concept of tolerance served the cause of domination, and that an entirely new and revolutionary form of tolerance would be required; the ‘tolerance’ of the political Left.
This new ‘liberating tolerance’ would incorporate subversion and revolutionary violence, along with a rabid intolerance of the political right, traditionalism, conservatism,

Marcuse sought to target what he saw as the cultural forms of repression, and the role played by technology in the increased production of consumer goods, to maintain the stability of capitalism. Like Adorno, he despised popular culture, believing that the prosperity of the immediate post-World War II era was keeping the masses in a state of intellectual and spiritual bondage

Adorno’s F scale, the phobic individuals are seen as partially, if not completely, at the fascist end of the scale. The legacy of this is still with us today; it is why politically correct people are so quick to label their opponents as ‘fascists’ and also accounts for their tendency to pathologize the views of anyone who disagrees with them

Adorno sought to greatly expand on Fromm’s idea of pathologizing cultural norms and values; under his direction, any overt allusions to Marxism would be phased out, in favour of an increasing emphasis on the utilization of psychoanalysis to effect social change

The principles of Lukács sex education programme, namely the abandonment of traditional family values, encouraging women to reject traditional sexual mores, and promoting the idea that monogamy was an outdated concept, would become the basis for the ‘sexual revolution’ of the 1960s.

Unlike Marx, Horkheimer acknowledged that the economic success, and the corresponding social mobility facilitated by capitalism, meant that revolution was unlikely to come from the working class. He, therefore, made it his mission to find what he called a ‘surrogate’ for the working class. Ultimately, this surrogate would not be discovered until the 1960s

irrational relativistic attitude has fostered a knee-jerk resistance to the idea that culture reflects biology, or that it is primarily influenced by biological factors, in spite of a growing body of research in genetics, which indicates precisely that

Central to multiculturalism was the concept of cultural relativism; the idea that it is not possible to assess individual cultures by the standards of any other culture, and that these cultures could be comprehended purely in terms of their particular cultural norms and standards. This is comparable to romantic nationalism because it regards every single culture as a unique development, which must be preserved

psychoanalysis introduced two particular paradigms, which would prove invaluable to Cultural Marxism; firstly, Freud had demonstrated how it was possible to utilize so-called ‘sexual liberation,’ as a means to manipulate and control others for personal gain; secondly, psychoanalysis had inverted traditional Western moral values, and presented them as something oppressive, which needed to be fought against

Freud asserted that, because the repressed pleasure-seeking drive was a form of life energy, it could not be destroyed when it was repressed; rather it would continue a shadowy existence within the recesses of the unconscious mind. From this mental prison, it would continue to exert a deciding effect upon the conscious mind, potentially engendering the dysfunctional behaviour patterns characteristic of neuroses.

Marxist ideology actually contains a sizeable amount of intellectual baggage from Christianity; the belief that a small number of people would be willing to endure lives of almost total self-abnegation in order to provide limitless amounts of leisure time to everyone else, presumes a totally altruistic, almost ‘heavenly’ aspect to human nature.

The whole point and purpose of the government in a republic is to protect, rather than provide. This is because, to provide for some, the government must have the power to take from others

The Hegelian conceptualization of the human psyche, and of civilization itself, is both evolutionary and religious. Evolutionary, because it observes that both consciousness and society develop through multiple stages until a truly harmonious societal structure are realized. Religious, because Hegel believed that through the study of history, it would be possible to discover something akin to the mind of God

Hegel believed the mind had to evolve through history before it could devise the perfect system through the dialectic process. History is defined by a constant struggle between differing active paradigms, each of which tries to assert themselves as the most accurate model of reality. All of these paradigms, or thesis, give  rise to an opposing paradigm or antithesis.

According to Rousseau, the natural state of humanity is to live in a free and equal society, and that this is only denied as a result of the corrupt arrangements of governance and thinking. There was a problem with this idea; the inevitable question that arises is, that if it is the nature of humanity to live in a paradise, then why do human beings manufacture corrupt systems of thought and government?

Critical Theory is purely concerned with discrediting knowledge, but not with replacing it with anything better. It is the essence of destructive criticism.

In Critical Theory, the sole purpose of knowledge; to create a change in society, which will, in turn, create a change in ‘reality’ itself.
