"Chicken or Egg?" Theories...

Did Global Capitalism Create Cultural Capitalism, or did Cultural Marxism Create Cultural Capitalism?

In the 1930's, Stalin drops Trotsky's World Domination and Communist Internationale ideal and becomes a Nationalist. In 1945, former Capitalist Nationalists Create the Bretton Woods International Monetary Agreement and Subsequent Global Market.

Or was it a Confluence of Interests Within BOTH Communist and Global Capitalist influences?
Hey, Hey, Ho, HO!
Western Civ has GOT to GO!
Pieter Bruegel the Elder, "The Tower of Babel" (1563)
1 And the whole earth was of one language, and of one speech.
2 And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.
3 And they said one to another, Go to, let us make brick, and burn them throughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime had they for morter.
4 And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us make us a name, lest we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.
5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.
7 Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.
9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
— Genesis 11:1–9

PART ONE

I've made HUNDREDS of posts and comments exposing EXACTLY these things with cnsiderab eloquence, myself, for at least TWENTY YEARS.

FOR THIS I'VE BEEN MOCKED, SCORNED, BUT LARGELY IGNORED, AND MADE TO FEEL LIKE A PARIAH, because to the LEFTISTS who have come to DOMINATE the culture THANKS to the insidious blandishments of Cultural Marxism, anti-Communism is in truth nothing more than a subtle form of hostility toward the Jews.

The difference between your video an me is that I have pulled no punches when it comes to identifying the members of the Frankfurt School was ONE-HUNDRED PERCENT J_E_W_I_S-H_!, just as Karl Marx, himself, was JEWISH.

Never mind that "Cultural Marxism" was originally the brainchild of the ITALIAN Communist ANTONIO GRAMSCI. Only J_E_W_I_S_H "intellectuals" had the power –– and the EVIL determination –– to make sure that Cultural Marxism insidiously INFILTRATED, then slowly over several decades TOOK OVER the field of EDUCATION from the top down.. First they too over the UNIVERSITIES, then the secondary school, and finally the elementary shcools.

Because of "HITLER," whose approach to the problem as we know was tragically wrong, any form of CRITICISM of JEWS has been TABOO for the past seventy-odd years. Thus was born "ANTI-SEMITISM" –– the FIRST and probably THE most powerful WEAPON that has in FACT aided and abetted the Cultural Marxist Revolution.

HITLER, you see, was a virulent ANTI-COMMUNIST, therefore it was all too easy for the anti-Christian, anti-Western, anti-CAPITALIST, anti-AMERICAN Cultural Marxist revolutionaries to CASTRATE and DISCREDIT open opposition to Cultural Marxist influence by lablling it as (GASP!) "ANTI-SEMITISM."

Your video is EXCELLENT, because it tells not just a STORY –– but the TRUTH. It doesn't go far ENOUGH, however, because it succumbed to Politcal Correctness, even as it condemned it, by remainng silent about the profoundly powerful, profoundly pernicious infuence JEWISH INtELLECTUALS have had on the West.

Without full awareness of and official acknowldgement of this sad TRUTH, we will NEVER be able to neutralize the hideous, deleterious effects htis EVIL movement has had on our once-blessed Way of Life and the basis for all that was –– and still COULD be –– GOOD about Western Civilization.

______ CAPSULE HISTORY ______

Plato and Socrates, also Hippocrates
Really gave Civilization a boost.
Then the cruel Romans, The Church and the Germans,
Marx, Freud and Split Atoms its prospects reduced!


~ FreeThinke

I was 25 years old when I created that from what my instincts, observations and reading told me MUST be true. I thought it rather good then, and still stick by it to this day. I only wish I had found the way to make it clear that by "The Church" I did NOT mean CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE as given in the Bible, but the terribly cruel, perverse, opressive, toxic HASH the power-mad, self-serving temporal Roman Catholic Church government made of the Gospel.

I'm painfully aware too that by my telling the truth about the origins of Political Correctness the LEFT, –– which is the sworn Enemy of Freedom, Decency, Prosperity, Creativity, Charm, Good Humor, and Hope, itself ––, could easily twist my words and accuse me of being a "NAZI" –– one of their favorite ways of silencing critics and stifling honest debate.

At the risk of sounding immoderately vulgar, I say, FUCK the LEFT It's high time those filthy bastards were put in their place ONCE and FOR ALL.

The way to do that would NOT be to try to KILL them, –– as we have seen since the end of WWII, that only serves to STRENGTHEN them ––, but simply to begin the long slow process of DISCREDITING them by STANDING UP to THEIR RELENTLESS BULLYING and DENUCNG IT fo what is IS –– a naked attempt to FORCE everyone using the rhetoic of SHAME, HUMILIATION, ACCUSATION and DENUNCIATION to CONFORM to THEIR DICTATES, so they can then TYRANNIZE the entire world.

This post is far and away the BEST thing you've presented in a very long time, Farmer, because it clearly, cleanly, and directly identifies the nature of the major cause of Western Civilization's present moribund condition.

All the acres and acres of tedious, convoluted rhetoric and excessive verbiage you've presented serve merely to OBFUSCATE and DEFLECT from a truth that should be obvious to anyone brave enough –– or sufficiently innocent –– to say, "But he has nothing on!" and take it from there.

If I were you, I quit the hyper-emphasis on Zizek, whom I have come to see as an aimiable rogue, a charming charlatan, –– a mountebank, if you will ––, and begin to do an in-depth exposé, critique and careful anlaysis of Antonio Gramsci and the influence the members of the Frankfurt School have had on the West.

Here's the problem I have, Cultural Marxism couldn't have captured the universities without help. THAT help came from GLOBAL CAPITAL, as they experienced a confluence of interests. The Catholic Church is also a "globalizing" enterprise.

To focus on cultural Marxism is to let their globalist neo-liberal and neo-conservative aiders and abettors off the hook. They used Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher to subvert classical liberal thought, leaving paleocon patriots like Patrick Buchanan to seek allies on the Left. Zizek, IMO, is one not taken in by neo-liberalism. He's an old fashioned "working class" Marxist. He never believed that race and/or sexual orientation could adequately substitute for workers as a class-basis for revolution. AFter all, THAT is the proper basis for revolution, not race or sex.

Many old-line Marxists like Zizek want the same things that old-line Nationalist capitalists want. I see them as allies. They want a fair deal for workers, I want a fair deal for workers. The only problem I have with them is their ever-expansive (global) "elitism". I prefer nationality based classical-liberal "small-government" approaches.

And I don't see it as a Jewish problem. I see it as an "intellectual-elitism" problem. Some people are just too smart for their own good.

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

...Jews are no exception (average IQ's 1-2 SD's above average).

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

Intelligence is only one aspect of a good life. Even stupid people like me deserve a shot at a "good life".

-FJ the Dangerous and Extreme MAGA Jew said...

ps - and yes, the problem with Zizek is his focus on globalization. FUCK globalization! The world doesn't need a single universalized "good life". Many and varied different ones are "better". That way, one can choose which incommensurables values to embrace. Because as Isaiah Berlin (Jewish) stated, "Many of the great goods cannot live together".

CENTRALIZED POWER is the ultimate enemy of liberty.

It doesn't matter what NAME it calls itself, the phenmenon of spporting ever increasing CENTRALIZED POWER –– the Globalists' Ultimate Dream –– is THE greatest evil.

Franco Aragosta said...

Cultural Marxism created Global capitalism.

Marxism in the guise of "Progressivism" attacked Industry.

Industry in order to survive and continue to prosper was FORCED to JOIN the forces of Government in order to minimize the corrosive effects of Marxian-Progressivism.

Once Industry (Business) joined forces with government, it was inevitable that the at-first-creeping-now-galloping brand of Socialistic Tyranny that has overtaken us would develop out of necessity.

But is was, is –– and always shall REMAIN –– the influence of MARX that polluted and corrupted a remarkaby successful Way of Life. Cultural Marxism is responsible for factionalizing, and setting us all at odds with one another.

Ths is the prime modus operandi of the Left: First CONFUSE, then DIVIDE, then CONQUER.

RUDYARD KIPLING SAW IT ALL EARLY IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY. THIS POEM, WHICH I NEVER TIRE OF QUOTING, BRILLIANTLY OUTLINES THE FOLLY OF MARXISM AND ALL UTOPIAN SCHEMES.

As I pass through my incarnations
___ in every age and race,
I make my proper prostrations
___ to the Gods of the Market Place.
Peering through reverent fingers
___ I watch them flourish and fall,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings,
___ I notice, outlast them all.

We were living in trees when they met us.
___ They showed us each in turn
That Water would certainly wet us,
___ as Fire would certainly burn:
But we found them lacking in Uplift,
___ Vision and Breadth of Mind,
So we left them to teach the Gorillas
___ while we followed the March of Mankind
.

We moved as the Spirit listed.
___ They never altered their pace,
Being neither cloud nor wind-borne
___ like the Gods of the Market Place,
But they always caught up with our progress,
___ and presently word would come
That a tribe had been wiped off its icefield,
___ or the lights had gone out in Rome.

With the Hopes that our World is built on
___ they were utterly out of touch,
They denied that the Moon was Stilton;
___ they denied she was even Dutch;
They denied that Wishes were Horses;
___ they denied that a Pig had Wings;
So we worshipped the Gods of the Market
___ Who promised these beautiful things.

When the Cambrian measures were forming,
___ They promised perpetual peace.
They swore, if we gave them our weapons,
___ that the wars of the tribes would cease.
But when we disarmed They sold us
___ and delivered us bound to our foe,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said:
___ "Stick to the Devil you know."


On the first Feminian Sandstones
___ we were promised the Fuller Life
(Which started by loving our neighbour
___ and ended by loving his wife)
Till our women had no more children
___ and the men lost reason and faith,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said:
___ "The Wages of Sin is Death."


In the Carboniferous Epoch
___ we were promised abundance for all,
By robbing selected Peter
___ to pay for collective Paul;
But, though we had plenty of money,
___ there was nothing our money could buy,
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings said:
___ "If you don't work you die."


Then the Gods of the Market tumbled,
___ and their smooth-tongued wizards withdrew
And the hearts of the meanest were humbled
___ and began to believe it was true
That All is not Gold that Glitters,
___ and Two and Two make Four
And the Gods of the Copybook Headings
___ limped up to explain it once more.

As it will be in the future,
__ it was at the birth of Man
There are only four things certain
___ since Social Progress began.
That the Dog returns to his Vomit
___ and the Sow returns to her Mire,
And the burnt Fool's bandaged finger
___ goes wabbling back to the Fire;

And that after this is accomplished,
___ and the brave new world begins
When all men are paid for existing
___ and no man must pay for his sins,
As surely as Water will wet us,
___ as surely as Fire will burn,
The Gods of the Copybook Headings
___ with terror and slaughter return!


The Gods of the Copybook Headings (1919)
~ Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936)

________ To Whom Belongs the Glory? ________

Fulfilled at last, the vision of my house ––
Inspired by termites’ and damp rot’’s rude incursions ––
Now gleams, despite the few who shirk and grouse
In efforts to deflect with crude inversions
Salient critiques politely made.
Half-baked work should never satisfy,
Even when parts done may never fade.
Dereliction causes trust to die,
And so, though artful arches may be beautiful,
The whole is marred, because an odd irreverence
Led craftsmen to be less than dutiful ––
A reputation marred by non-perseverance.
So, after protests rescuers were found
To tie up loose ends dangling on the ground.
