During the 1960s the various movements that we have been considering, the Freudian-Marxian synthesis of the Frankfurt School; the sexology doctrines initiated by Kinsey; the psychedelia promoted by Huxley and Leary; the modernist music promoted by Adorno; and in general the modernist artistic trends promoted by the CIA-sponsored Congress for Cultural Freedom and funded by foundations, coalesced into the New Left.

When money becomes the primary aim of society, family and children are seen as a burden. Spengler pointed out that during this materialistic cycle of a Civilisation, a stage of depopulation arises. Hence, abortion, feminism, and birth control are nothing ‘progressive’; the catchcry of the liberal-Left and their corporate sponsors for every trend and policy designed to wreck tradition

Communism or some type of socialism is an efficient and quick means of imposing industrialisation on a society and ridding it of traditional values. This is what Spengler meant when he observed that socialism, including communism, serves the interests of Money.

Spengler was one of the first historians to expose the connections between Big Business and the Left.
