As Marxism evolves into Cultural Marxism,

I always take issue with that term, because before two years ago the only people I ever encountered who used the phrase were neo-nazis.

You're not wrong, but the concept has very little to do with nazism, unless the reason one hates the Frankfurt School philosophies is because the authors were mostly Jewish - which is a stupid reason to hate something, especially when it has so many legitimate striking points.

In short, it's the idea that all cultural inequalities need to be levelled out somehow, using an intersectional or stack model of privilege comparison. Only when every intersectional struggle has been resolved will the world be pure and rid of all evil. This is the material that lead to the current crop of SJWs, and what ruined any chance Occupy Wall Street had at saying anything instead of devolving into bullshit identity politics.

I'm very far from a Nazi, trust me, they scare the gently caress out of me and I don't know how any reasonable modern person can fall in line with those guys. That doesn't mean every single thing they discuss is automatically poisoned by virtue of association.

I'm not a fan of SJW's either and please don't take anything I post too seriously.

I majored in art, went to an affordable uni, and due to working the entire time and the generosity of my folks/grandparents graduated with very little debt. Now I clean carpet, because I'll be damned if I join the ranks of the petite bourgeois scum.

I'm socially liberal and fiscally exploitive.

contemporary socialism/communism is hosed forever since they've made it practically mandatory to embrace all kinds of retarded poo poo like fat acceptance. I want my socialists handsome and chiseled like the ones from soviet propaganda posters, if what you have to offer is that loving maoist anime genderqueer human being that keeps popping up everywhere, I'd rather throw in my lot with citibank and watch the world burn

Communism needs another Stalin.
