===Minnicino "The New Dark Age: Frankfurt School and Political Correctness 1992"=== |
|||
Woods 40–44 |
|||
Minnicino argues that late twentieth-century America has become a "New Dark Age" as a result of the abandonment of Judeo-Christian values and Renaissance ideals, which according to Minnicino have been replaced with a "tyranny of ugliness." He attributes this to a purported Counter-Renaissance campaign, an alleged plot to socially and psychologically weaken America by Georg Lukacs, the Frankfurt School, and elite media figures and political campaigners.[p40] |
|||
According to Minnicino, there are two aspects of the Frankfurt School plan to destroy Western culture: firstly, a cultural critique, by Adorno and Benjamin, to use art and culture to promote alienation and replace Christianity with socialism, including the development of opinion polling to brainwash the populace and the development of advertising techniques to control political campaigning; and secondly, an attack on the traditional family by Fromm and Marcuse by promoting women's rights, sexual liberation, and "polymorphous perversity" to subvert patriarchal authority. |
|||
To achieve these aims, Minnicino claims, the Frankfurt School caused and supported a "psychedelic revolution", distributing hallucinogic drugs to encourage sexual perversion and promiscuity amongst young Americans. |
|||
===William Lind "The Roots of Political Correctness" 1999=== |
|||
In William Lind's version of the conspiracy, political correctness is synonymous with Cultural Marxism, an un-American and barbaric project opposed to Christian values. According to Lind's analysis, Lukács and Gramsci aimed to subvert Western culture since it was an obstacle to the Marxist goal of proletarian revolution. According to Lind, the "Cultural Marxists" of the Frankfurt School, began to focus (under Max Horkheimer) on psychological repression within Western societies, aiming to remove social inhibitions (and destroying Western culture) using four main strategies. First, Horkheimer's critical theory would undermine the authority of the traditional family and government institutions and segregate society into opposing groups of victims and oppressors. Second, the concepts of the "authoritarian personality" and the "F Scale", developed by Adorno, would be used to accuse Americans with right-wing views of having fascist principles. Third, the concept of "polymorphous perversity" would undermine Western culture by promoting free love and homosexuality. Finally, Marcuse's "Repressive Tolerance" is caricatured by Lind as an argument to silence the right, and allow only the left to be heard. Thus, Lind interprets the Frankfurt School's move to America from Nazi Germany as a sinister plot to establish a totalitarian system in the United States based on political correctness. |

===The Frankfurt School: Conspiracy to Corrupt (2008)=== |
|||
According to Timothy Matthews, the Frankfurt School came to America to carry out "Satan's work". In this variant of the conspiracy, the Frankfurt School, under the influence of Satan, seek to destroy the traditional Christian family by means of critical theory and Marcuse's polymorphous perversity to encourage women's rights, homosexuality, and the breakdown of patriarchy by creating a female-centered culture. |
|||
11 alleged aims of the Frankfurt School: |
|||
1. The creation of racism offences |
|||
2. Continual change to create confusion |
|||
3. The teaching of sex and homosexuality to children |
|||
4. The undermining of schools' and teachers' authority |
|||
5. Huge immigration to destroy identity |
|||
6. The promotion of excessive drinking |
|||
7. Emptying of churches |
|||
8. An unreliable legal system with bias against victims of crime |
|||
9. Dependency on the state or state benefits |
|||
10. Control and dumbing down of media |
|||
11. Encouraging the breakdown of the family |
|||
===Righteous Indignation (2011)=== |
|||
In [[Andrew Breitbart]]'s interpretation of the conspiracy, which is similar in most respects to that of Lind, the "Democrat-Media Complex" represents an alliance between the Frankfurt School and American progressives, starting with [[Franklin D. Roosevelt|Franklin Roosevelt]] and [[Woodrow Wilson]], who according to Breitbart, acquired a twisted view of human nature from the works of [[Jean-Jacques Rousseau]], [[Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel|Georg Hegel]], and Karl Marx, and implemented a left-wing agenda by attacking the US constitution. Breitbart insinuates that George Soros funds the alleged cultural Marxism project. |
|||
Breitbart attributes the spread of the ideas of the Frankfurt School from universities to a wider audience to "trickledown intellectualism", and claims that [[Saul Alinsky]] introduced cultural Marxism to the masses in his 1971 handbook "Rules for Radicals". Woods argues that Breitbart focuses on Alinsky in order to associate cultural Marxism with the modern Democratic Party, and Hilary Clinton. |
