That is the point against which all our energies should be directed.”
– Carl von Clausewitz
It was the seventies and I was a young lad growing up in South Africa when I first encountered Political Correctness. Of course I did not know it was called “Political Correctness” at the time. I remember hearing the grownups talking about a new law that came out prohibiting Whites from referring to Blacks as “Kaffirs”, Cape Coloureds as “Hotnots” and Indians as “Coolies”. Even then I found it a ridiculous law and could not believe the grownups actually taking it seriously.
Today we see the results of this Marxist brainwashing in the behavior of our people. White people in South Africa are so fearful of offending others, they constantly look over their shoulders, making sure the door is closed and lowering their voices before they say anything that could be remotely considered derogatory towards Blacks. Even then they tone it down, irrespective of the other person being a close friend or family member. One is never sure how the other person is going to react. Nobody wants to be branded a racist, sexist, or homophobe.
Where did it all come from, all this Multiculturalism, Political Correctness, Affirmative Action, Media control, Control of our education system, etc…? More importantly, how do we turn the tide on it?
The previous National Party government in South Africa called it “The Total Onslaught of Communism”, but what is it exactly and who is behind this Communist onslaught on Western Civilization?
We have to remember that if we fight Marxist terrorists in the bush or townships; we are merely hacking away at the branches. What we need to do is go after the roots, but where do the roots of Marxist Ideology lie? Moscow? Beijing?
No… It is in Frankfurt, Germany and it is called, “The Institute for Social Research” (Institut für Sozialforschung) and was found in 1924, better known today as the Frankfurt School; a Think-tank of Marxist Scientific ideology.
In order to push back this Marxist tide that is hell bent on ruling the world, we need to take cognizance of the Frankfurt School, where it comes from, what their goals and tactics are and then arming ourselves ideologically against their poison.
A brief History of Marxism and the Frankfurt school
Born in 1818, Karl Marx is seen as the father of Communism. When one reads his biography, one cannot help but see Marx as a despicable human being. Marx was a typical rich boy. He was a school bully, spoilt brat and tortured his own sisters.
He was a poor student who was more in pubs than in class, mixing with the lowlifes of society. As a student he wrote a play full of Satanic and homosexual fantasies and over spilling with other dark passions. He also wrote a poem in which he kills his love, because he could not have her. What Marx could not control, he wanted to destroy.
He was what we would call today a sponging professional student who lived off the money he got from his family, dabbled in just about every discipline offered at the universities of Bonn and Berlin and eventually obtaining his Ph.D from the Diploma sausage machine of Jena.
He was a bad journalist and editor who got fired and kicked out of countries such as France, Belgium and Germany.
In 1848, at the age of thirty, Marx, with the help of his lapdog Friedrich Engels wrote “The Manifesto of the Communist Party”. It attacked and exploded against private property, justice, civilization, et al and it was largely plagiarized from other sources. From the filthy French revolutionist Jean Paul Marat, he stole phrases such as “The workers have no country” and “The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains”.
From Louis Auguste Blanqui, he stole “The dictatorship of the Proletariat”.
Progressive income tax had already been proposed by William Pitt in 1799. He further stole the slogan, “Working men of all countries Unite” from Karl Schapper.
He then ended up in England, the only country who would allow him in. He was penniless and heavily indebted.
Marx uses to pub crawl and dominate every conversation. Anybody who opposed his views were scoffed and laughed at. He developed a weakness for gambling and extravagance. Many times Engels use to bail him out of trouble and Engels even raised the illegitimate child of Marx by his maid servant, claiming it was his own.
Marx hated capitalism and wanted to destroy it and everything linked to it, basically because he could not take care of his own personal finances. Marx wanted to destroy civilization.
Marx wrote a classical work that is today regarded as the Marxian Bible, called “Das Kapital”. It was such a load of nonsense that economists of the time all shot it down and it self-destructed almost at the same time that it left the pen of this evil man. Over the years, his critics grew fewer and shallower. All those who share Marx’s feelings cannot care much about the correctness of his logic.
Marx died in 1883 without tasting the dictatorship he thirsted after his entire life, but he left behind a trail of poison that would be used by the Bolsheviks and Communists to kill more than 100 million people.
Marxian Communists
After Marx’s death, his disciples hoped that a World War such as in 1914 would stimulate the working classes of Europe to overthrow their governments. Their theory was that people would have more in common as poor workers than National identities. This did not happen and soldiers rallied towards their countries’ flags. The Marxists eventually won a coup in Russia in 1917, but the idea of Communism would not spread. Strange how the Communists even today claim that their ideology is a superior form of government, but always experience problems implementing it.
It was clear that there was something wrong with classical Marxist thought, because it could not be applied to modern times. Marx had to be adapted in order to fit into modern times.
Two Marxist theorists went to work on it: Antonio Gramsci in Italy and Georg Lukacs in Hungary . These men were basically the fathers of modern Western Marxism. According to them the Communist struggle cannot succeed unless the intrinsic culture of societies are broken down, which includes religions. So as true Marxist disciples they set about thinking up ideas of how to destroy civilization. One of the first things Georg Lukacs did in Hungary when he became deputy commissar for culture in 1919, was to introduce sex education in schools. There we were, thinking it was a new thing!
Felix Weil
In 1923, rich boy, Felix Weil financed the First Marxist Work Week (Erste Marxistische Arbeitswoche) in the German town of Ilmenau and in 1924 The Institute for Social Research (Institut für Sozialforschung), the Frankfurt School was born.
Critical Theory; Tactics of the Frankfurt school.
It is difficult to find a definition for Critical Theory. Attempting to define it is like wrapping up four blown-up balloons in Christmas wrapping. It appears to be formless and shapeless and spread across every discipline of study.
For the people from the Frankfurt School it was not enough to just repeat or parrot the writings of Marx. They had to look for means to advance, refine and build on his ideas. They had to find ways of criticizing society more effectively so they could constantly push their Marxist agenda.
Basically Critical Theory is Deconstruction through Constant Careful Criticism. Anybody who doubts the effectiveness of Critical Theory only needs to look at Helen Suzman, who for years was the only female opposition parliamentarian during the South African Apartheid years. She applied this technique very well and was instrumental in deconstructing the National Apartheid system.
Through the careful application of history, psychology, philosophy, economics, politics and social sciences, critical theory forms the basis of anti social establishments such as feminism, gay rights, black rights and environmentalism. They are all forms to break down Western Society. They further call for a society of “polymorphous perversity” as Marcuse wrote in Eros and Civilization. In this book he advocates “free love” and coins the phrase, “Make love not war”.
Each Critical Theorist uses their particular skills, talents, and knowledge to contribute to the massive endeavor of Critical Theory. All this political correctness that we see on television and in movies, what we experience in the mainstream media, all comes from our Marxist Intellectual friends at the Frankfurt school.
There is a Critical Theory on Art, Science, Religion, Economics, Politics and Education…just about every sphere of our Western Society that was built up over thousands of years. What these diabolical theorists want to do is tear it all down, stamp on it and burn it to ashes so they can offer us their perverse Marxist versions.
By constantly criticizing section in our society such as the church or the universities, they bring about change and “fix” things that were not broken in the first place. They then change it into their Marxist mold.
They claim to look for human emancipation from oppression, but to them humans can only be free under Communism and by accepting their ideas. The reason why people do not accept their nonsense is because people have wealth, cultures, languages and religions. So they set off on trying to find ways in which they could break down these “stumbling blocks” of capitalism, culture and religion in such a way that it is practical and morally acceptable to society.
These Marxists do not care how many happy families they destroy, as long as they can introduce their beliefs and rise to power. Breaking down traditional family structures by targeting White Males is one of their major aims. The aim is the structural change of the bourgeois nuclear family and the weakening of the authoritarian position of the father.
Take the feminist movements for instance. Constantly criticize men and tell women their husbands are drunks and women-beaters and get them to abandon their husbands. Create Affirmative Action for women and other races and, the White Male, the backbone of Western Society, is sidelined and reduced to little more than an ornament.
Further, discipline is broken down. Parents can be fined for chastising their children and even thrown in prison on charges of “child abuse”.
One of their key tactics is the usage of language as a weapon and it is what Marx called, false consciousness. When they use words like “Freedom” it means slavery, “Democracy” means a one party totalitarianism and “facing challenges” means “We are not going to do a thing about it”. “National Liberation” means “Communist rebellion”. All these words are semantically separated from their true meaning.
These people claim one thing, but mean another. They would claim to strive for a society where people are free and tolerant to each other and where they are free to assemble and communicate openly, but only as long as everyone parrots the Marxist chorus, because no opposition theories are allowed or tolerated.
Today, most of these Marxist Critical theorists from the Frankfurt School are women and they teach at our Western Universities, such as Agnes Heller, Nancy Fraser and Seyla Benhabib.
Defying Marxist Critical theory
What I described above is only the basics of Critical Theory. One can write volumes on the subject. However, now that we know where it comes from, and some of the tactics used by these Marxists proponents, we can start formulating a counter offensive.
A Counter Anti-Marxist, Enlightenment Movement
We as the new generation of thinkers need to establish a worldwide movement of “Marxist Rejectionism”. We need to sniff the Marxists out, ridicule their theories, debate them into the dung they risen from and reject them with contempt. A new state of mind needs to be developed amongst our young students at Universities, a new consciousness that rejects Marxist thought. Conservative thinkers from across the world need to exchange ideas on internet forums and elsewhere and turn the entire world into one huge Conservative Think-tank.
Political Incorrectness
We need to defy Political Correctness at every level. We need to hold PC institutions such as the media responsible for obscuring the truth about the origins of violent crime and those responsible for it in our countries. We need to point out those unproductive members of our society who sponge on the tax and sweat of others; those who keep on having babies when they can hardly look after themselves. We should point out the illegal immigrants, drug dealers and organised criminals in our societies and not be scared to call a spade a spade.
Nationalism
We need to defy this multiculturalist’s nonsense and we have to love our own individual culture, language and religion. We have to teach our history, values and cultures to our children. We have to sustain and promote our cultures at every opportunity. Nationalism is the nemesis of Marxism and the reason why they try to destroy it by selling us on Multiculturalism. Rejecting Multiculturalism and embracing Nationalism is a sure fire way to counter Critical Theory. We just have to be proud of our National identities, heroes, sports teams, etc.
Functionalism
Just like our bodies are made up of various different parts that all works together to make us what we are, just like a ship’s engine room is made up of millions of parts that eventually gets it from point A to B, society is made up of various sections (family, education, law, media, etc) that eventually make society what it is. Just like in our bodies, if one section malfunctions or contracts a cancer, it is not long before the entire body suffers. In society it is the same. What these Marxists with their “Critical Theory” aims for is to spread their cancer through every section of society so that society eventually dies. Unless we take cognisance of the interdependency of various sections of society and the attacks we are facing, we are left vulnerable to the Marxist cancer of “Critical theory”. We should be vigilant in every sphere of society and block and destroy these carcinogenic ideas, the moment we spot them.
Education
We as parents should realize that we are the primary educators of our children, not the schools. Often we as parents neglect the education of our children and allow the Marxist education systems to indoctrinate our children, especially with regards to history.
It is simply unacceptable that one cannot get an advanced degree in political science at any university nowadays while denouncing Marxist ideology. Try it and you quickly find a myriad of obstacles placed in your way. Students of all disciplines are penelised if they do not follow the Liberal thought pattern and rewarded for complying. This shameless indoctrination of our youngsters, with our tax money, should be eradicated. At university our young people should research objectively and challenge their Marxist ideological peers and criticize their theories in every discipline.
Religion
We should practice our religions and oppose the Marxist attacks on our values and beliefs. Marxist are not ordinary atheists, they hate all forms of religions and want to substitute religion with Marxist ideology. When we forsake our religions, we give Marxism a foothold in our minds. If a vacuum exists, Marxism will take its place. Religion also plays a big role in National identity and therefore it is important for us to defend it from the Critical theorist onslaught.
Positivism
Basically what Auguste Comte says is, “Don`t come with theological and metaphysical nonsense, give me scientific evidence and proof.”
I like Comte. One of the best examples we see today of Comte in practice, is modern day insurance companies. I find it comical how Political Correctness makes way for logic, mathematics and science when large sums of money have to be paid out.
Family Values
The hierarchy of family should be respected and practiced. Children should have respect for their elders and parents should discipline their children. Love, respect and support between husband and wife are of great importance and they set the example for their children.
Social change
One thing the Frankfurt school is good at… and that was the reason for their creation in the first place, is that Marxian theory could not fit into modern reality and basically stalled the advancement of Marxism. They had to study modern societies carefully and constantly adapt to be able to spread their poison. Likewise we have to constantly adapt our strategies to the realities of modern society. Society is dynamic, not static and we have to constantly adapt to be effective.
Conclusion
When we are educated and informed about the deceptive tactics of the Marxist Frankfurt School, their tactics loses its effectiveness. No longer will we listen to their drivel and lies anymore, because we will see it for what it is; Marxist Critical Theory and we will be able to challenge them and tell them to their faces what we think of their diabolical ideas. Marxism is an ideology that leads to the most brutal and bloodiest form of government ever created, namely Communism. Under Communism, individual property rights disappear, the production of wealth is made almost impossible and there is virtually no incentive to produce.
Communism has only one method of production: through hard physical labor. The incentive to produce is achieved through fear of death. The government slaughters citizens to keep the rest in line. There is not one successful Communist or Socialist country in the entire world. Any government backed by Marxist Ideology eventually fails. To detract the population from its failures, these governments blame their failures on someone else. Communism lives on a blame culture of scapegoats and these scapegoats should be killed of course. This form of government leads to poverty, starvation and slaughter of large amounts of its citizens as can be seen in modern day Zimbabwe. In South Africa the slide towards Communism started in 1994, because the entire government is backed by Marxists ideologists.
The goal of the Marxist Ideologists of the Frankfurt School is to bring about a global Communist state. Unless we actively start opposing Marxism and their methods of Critical Theory, nothing will stop them from achieving this goal. But we can turn the tide…Individually we can make a difference through educating ourselves, our children and others. Collectively we can crush Marxism. “Conservative men of the world Unite!”
