Please refer to: How do I ask a good question? | |
| Apr 1, 2020 at 18:24 | comment | added | obdi | Is it controversial to say that during the french revolution, the bolshevik revolution, Maoist revolution or rogue Khmer revolution the goal was to eradicate traditional culture? They were able to define it, but somehow today it is a vague term. Saying that Marxists want to eradicate culture is controversial? I also don't understand why in the west it is paranoid to be afraid of the communism, considering its death toll, but the same people see antisemitism everywhere. I see that opponents choose to ignore experience with the communism of people who do not look like they do. | |

Typo.

Lacking one set of shadowy bad guys, they'd replace them with another set from some other religion or culture, who were really the power behind the old bad guys all along.

| Dec 5, 2018 at 20:27 | comment | added | tim | It seems to me that would be a different theory, one that doesn't have enough in common with "cultural marxism" to use that term. If I am mistaken about the definition of cultural marxism, or if the original definition has changed and is widely used differently today, that would be interesting. But I would like to see some references for that if possible. | |
| Dec 5, 2018 at 20:27 | comment | added | tim | Thanks for your answer! I'm not so sure about this though. Generally, terms should mean something. I guess non-antisemites could come up with anti-communist conspiracy theories. But would these then still be related to the existing phenomenon of "cultural marxism" conspiracy theories? Even if you strip it of the idea that a small, shadowy group of people secretly controls the media to use equal rights to bring down "western culture"? | |
