was after the end of World War II in Western Europe to establish several attempts communitarian regimes, djavascript: void (0) he, however, all in the attempt failed , to gain broad support from the workers. These events brought the Marxist revolutionaries in a dilemma. After Marx's economic theory, the oppressed workers were seen as the beneficiaries of a social revolution that set them in the top of the power structure. When opportunities were now offered to the revolution, the workers do not react to it. The Marxists saw the blame for this failure is not in their theory. They accused the workers.
A group of Marxist intellectuals resolved now this, their dilemma by, unlike Marx, not the economic order of society under investigation, but its cultural superstructure. The Italian Marxist Antonio Gramsci and the Hungarian Marxist Georg Lukacs contributed the most to this new cultural Marxism.
Antonio Gramsci worked 1923-24 in Moscow and Vienna for the Communist International. Later he was imprisoned by Mussolini in a prison, he wrote in his famous Prison Notebooks. In Marxist Gramsci is known for his theory of cultural domination as a means of class domination. In his view, had a new "Communist man" to be created before a political revolution was possible. This now led to the fact that these intellectuals strengthened the areas of education and culture dedicated. Gramsci put Imagine a long way from social institutions, ie government, judiciary, military, schools and media. He also concluded that as long as the workers were Christians, they would not respond to revolutionary appeals.
Georg Lukacs was the son of a wealthy Hungarian banker. Lukacs' political career began as an employee of the Communist International. His book History and Class Consciousness earned him the reputation of the leading Marxist theorist since Marx itself. Lukacs believed that must be destroyed for the emergence of a new Marxist culture the dominant culture. He said in part: "I see the revolutionary Destruction of society as the one and only solution to the cultural contradictions of our epoch "and" Such a global revolution of social values can not be done without destroying the old values and new ones are created by the revolutionaries. "
As in 1919 Deputy People's Commissar of Education in the Bolshevik Bela Kun regime in Hungary, Lukacs launched a program that became known as cultural terrorism. As part of this program, he introduced a radical sex education program in Hungarian schools. Hungarian children were instructed in free love and sexual intercourse and also learned that the Code of middle-class families is archaic, obsolete monogamy and religion that people withhold all the joys, irrelevant. Women were also encouraged to revolt against the mores of the time.
In 1923, Lukacs and others, the Communist Party intellectuals belonging to the Institute for Social Research at Frankfurt University in Frankfurt am Main. The institute, which became known as the Frankfurt School, was modeled after the Marx-Engels Institute in Moscow. 1933 when the Nazis took power in Germany, fled the members of the Frankfurt School. Most came to the United States.
The members of the Frankfurt School conducted numerous studies on Opinions, attitudes and values, which were responsible in their view of the rise of National Socialism in Germany. These studies combined Marxist analysis with Freudian psychoanalysis in order to criticize the foundations of Western culture, including Christianity, capitalism, in society-rooted notions of authority, family, patriarchy, hierarchy, morality, tradition, sexual abstinence, loyalty, patriotism, nationalism, heredity, ethnocentrism, convention and conservatism. known critique of all these things together as critical theory, were in the works of the Frankfurt School, such as Erich Fromm's "Escape from Freedom" and "The Christ Dogma," Wilhelm Reich's The Mass Psychology of Fascism and Theodor Adorno's The Authoritarian Personality "was developed.
The book "The Authoritarian Personality" influenced psychologists and social scientists particularly strong. Basis of this book was the assumption that the presence of emergence of Christianity, capitalism and an authoritarian patriarchal family image, a character tendency to racial prejudice and German fascism would.
Critical theory includes various minor change theories, the specific elements of culture should existierenden7 by distant parts; these were the "matriarchal theory," the "Androgyne theory", the "personality theory", the "authority" theory, the "family theory", the "sexual theory", the "racial theory", the "legal theory" and the "literary theory". This theory was reacting to in the practice used to overcome the prevailing social order and bring about a social revolution.
The advocates of the Critical Theory of the Frankfurt School recognized that traditional beliefs and attitudes and the existing social structure is destroyed and should be replaced before this goal could be achieved. The patriarchal social structure would be replaced by a matriarchal, and the belief that men and women are different and therefore have different roles would be replaced with androgyny, and the view that heterosexuality is normal would be replaced by the view that homosexuality was also normal.
as the main measure to deny white heterosexual men of all intrinsic value that brought us the followers of critical theory, the theories of the Trotskyists to ethnic and sexual conflicts. Leon Trotsky believed that oppressed blacks in the vanguard of a communist revolution in America would be. He denounced the white workers who harbored reservations about blacks, and asked them to unite with the blacks to the revolution. Trotsky's ideas were later taken up by many student leaders of the counterculture movement in the 1960s who tried to occupy responsible positions in their movement with blacks.
The student revolutionaries were also strongly influenced by the ideas of Herbert Marcuse, another member of the Frankfurt School. Marcuse preached the "Great Refusal" (a rejection of all Western concepts), sexual freedom and the value of the revolt of the feminists and blacks. His primary argument was that university students, the blacks from the ghettos, the alienated, the asocial and the Third World could take the place of the proletariat in the communist revolution. In his book "An Essay on Liberation Marcuse put forward his goals of a radical value revolution: the lifting of taboos, cultural subversion, critical theory and a revolution in the field of linguistics, which should lead to a methodical reversal of meaning-used language. With regard to the racial conflict, Marcuse wrote that white men are guilty and blacks the most natural force of rebellion.
Marcuse is probably the most important member of the Frankfurt School in terms of the origins of political correctness, because it is the critical link to the counterculture of the 1960s. His goal was clear: "One can certainly speak of a cultural revolution, because the protest is directed against the whole cultural establishment, including the morals of the currently existing society ..." was his approach, the powerful archaic power of sexual relations by their civilizational barriers to to free a message that he preached in his 1955 book "Eros and Culture. Marcuse was a most authoritative gurus of sexual rebellion of youth in the 1960s, he even coined the phrase "Make love, not war" This role was the chain of Marxist influence on the youth by the Frankfurt School in completely. Lukacs' service as deputy People's Commissar of Education 1919 to the students in the 1960s burned the national flag and occupied buildings of the University administration. Today, many are just this time the universities bastions of political correctness - and former student radicals have become part of the teaching staff.
One of the persons who have made the greatest contribution to political correctness, was Betty Friedan. In her book "The Feminine Mystique, or the self-liberation of Woman. A concept of emancipation, "she combined feminism and Abraham Maslow's theory of self-realization. Maslow was a social psychologist, who had operated in his early years of research on female dominance and sexuality. Maslow was a friend and also Marcuse at Brandeis University and had taken Erich Fromm 1936th He was impressed by Fromm's Frankfurt School ideology. 1944 was the article written by him "The authoritarian character structure" was published, the personality theory within the critical theory reflected. Similarly, Maslow was impressed by the work of Wilhelm Reich, another author of the personality theory of the Frankfurt School was.
The significance of the historical roots of political correctness can not be fully detected without having to Betty Friedan's revolution in sexual roles than that understands what it is: a manifestation of the social revolutionary process begun by Karl Marx. The reference to Abraham Maslow Friedan's reflections of the ideology of the Frankfurt School is just one indicator. Other compliance of Friedan's revolution in sexual roles with Georg Lukacs' are approach to the destruction of old values and the generation of new and Herbert Marcuse's revaluation of values. But the idea of transformation of patriarchy into a matriarchy - which is exactly what the to cause reversal of gender roles - can directly Friedrich Engels book The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State be traced. This book was first published in 1884 and was popularized today accepted the feminist view that deep-rooted discrimination against the female sex is an agent of patriarchy. The belief that matriarchy is the way out of the patriarchy, comes from Marx's comments in the 1845 book "The German Ideology." This book builds from Marx to believe that women and children are the most important possession of patriarchal men. The Matriarchal Theory of the Frankfurt School and its close relative, the Androgynous theory are both derived from these sources.
If the advocates of political correctness - or cultural Marxism, if you want to use the correct name - appeal to the general public, then they will present their approaches very attractive. They say that everything was just a matter of "sensitivity" to others. They use words like "tolerance" and "diversity" and ask, "Why can not we all get along?"
The reality, however, looks completely different. In the Political correctness is not just a matter of "be nice to, at least not without one thinks gulags are nice facilities. Political correctness is Marxism, with all that follows: loss of freedom of expression, thought control, subversion of social order and ultimately a totalitarian state. In general, the current generated by the Frankfurt school of cultural Marxism is far more frightening than the old ruined, economic Marxism, Russia and Eastern Europe.
