Oh, I'm not saying old Karl believed in trannies, loved minorities or believed in safe spaces - absolutely not.
However, his latter-day adherents have certainly transferred the well-established socialist techniques of controlling speech, thought and action to achieve political and social control to the cultural and academic spheres.
I think MArx was more concerned with who controls the means of production, distribution and exchange than speed, thought and banditry in its many forms.
I had to listen to some **** here going on and on about how coverage of the two world wars never mentions gay soldiers. He was hugely offended when I pointed out that it didnt mention straight ones either, or indeed anything regarding sexual orientation.
When I said I found it offensive that coverage of the Battle of Trafalgar never took account of those in the ranks with learning difficulties I thought he was going to punch me.
Of course he was.
What rightists are calling 'Cultural Marxism' has got completely fùck-all to do with Marxism. From now on I will be calling it Fake Leftism, as it is turning leftism on its head.
Marxism analyses social relations in terms of class, and concludes that there is a tiny ruling class who control practically all the money and power for their own ends, and then there is everyone else, who really shouldn't be putting up with this arrangement.
The ruling class therefore has to split up everyone else into sub-classes and competing groups to keep everyone squabbling amongst themselves. Hence identity politics (the Fake Left) is just the ticket, as it pitches women v men, black vs white, muslim v christian, transers v filthy normies and so on, and stops us recognising our true class interests (ruling class v the rest).
