The "AMERICAN LEFT"

We simply cannot understand the contemporary culture war in America without understanding the invasive philosophy of cultural Marxism. This includes a cabal of constructs known as critical theory, multiculturalism, political correctness, intersectionality, identity politics, white privilege, critical race theory, etc.

Fleeing Hitler’s Germany before and after WWII, a group of German philosophers and educators planted the seeds of this ideology into our American university system. Men like Georg Lukacs, Herbert Marcuse, and Theodor Adorno, of the Frankfurt School in Germany, were trained to translate the ideology of Marxism from economic terms into practical cultural terms. This new revolution would not promote bullets, bombs, and bloodshed in the beginning but seek to smash religion (Christianity in particular), morals, authority, and American patriotism.

Wherever the disruptive ideology relating to Marxism has found root, only suffering, chaos, and carnage is left in the wake of that wave. Socialism’s totalitarian control has been the biggest producer of poverty in human history! Its promise of “equality” has resulted in average citizens being equal in their poverty while the ruling class enjoys power, position and prosperity. In the 20th century alone, 150 million people were killed because of this ideology.

Venezuela is a recent example of a once vibrant economy to collapse into a bottomless recession with starving citizens standing in long lines surrounded by armed robbers and thugs. This is the outcome of the leftist leadership of Hugo Chávez followed by Nicolás Maduro.
