How did Marxism become cultural Marxism, and what should I read to learn more?

Thanks!

James Lindsay's book "Race Marxism" is your best starting point.

Lindsay sounds exactly like Immanuel Can.

James Lindsay regularly shares conspiracy theories about the supposed communist takeover of the world (especially the United States), promotes “groomer” rhetoric against the LGBTQ community and spreads the “white genocide” theory that Marxists want to eradicate the white race. With alarmism and fearmongering, Lindsay incites and segregates his base.

Is it possible they are one and the same? Is Manny plugging his own book here?

MickStinks just farted again. The stench wafted over the forum

James Lindsay is hardly a 'conspiracy theorist'. The self-described so-called 'Marxists' (you know, those wankers who take their hammer and sickle flags to 'protests') are quite open about the fact that they want to cause chaos and bring down Western civilisation. They don't bother trying to hide it. That's not a 'conspiracy theory'. Why are they ALL at the same marches? Why do they all 'think' the same about everything? Why do they all follow the same bat-shit insane 'ideologies'? They don't even have an actual cause--except to create as much chaos and confusion as possible. Those morons don't even know what Marxism is. They are cosplaying with their ridiculous Soviet flags while living their privileged little middle class lives.

There is no 'LGBTQ++++' 'community'. The LGBs are trying to get rid of the 'TQ++++s' because they encompass every gross 'anything goes' perversion perverts can come up with--hence the 'furries' and 'puppies' and grown men in 'diapers' and little girl clothes etc. at 'pride' events. Normal gay men and women are disgusted by all of that and so should everyone else be. I don't use the term 'groom' because it doesn't mean anything to me. What's wrong with 'prey on'? And yeah, they are definitely PREYING on children. Children are the target and the prize. Why else would there be an explosion in the use of puberty blockers and 'trans' ideology in schools? Now why would grown men want to block puberty in children and keep them looking as young as possible for as long as possible? Hmm. I can't think what their motive could be... Why would gay-hating parents prefer their child to be castrated and turned into a 'faux female' rather than become a gay man? It's a complete 'mystery'...

Thank you for the suggestion.

You're welcome.

He'll help you map the "terrain" of the whole thing before you plunge in deeper. If you go far enough, you'll end up having to get into source material like Hegel, Marx, Foucault, Lukacs, Marcuse, Freire and such, of course -- nasty reading, all of it. But right now, you'll find Lindsay is very useful in pointing out all sorts of the basic resources required to get behind the masks Neo-Marxism loves to wear these days, and in indicating which of these might fit your particular interests and research needs.

May I also recommend his webside, newdiscourses.com as a place for more information of the sort you seem to be seeking.

You flatter me, but no.
