This week's episode:
Cultural Marxism


with Dr. Paul Gottfried
Chronicles Editor in Chief

Please join us today, Thursday, October 8, 2020 at 12:00 p.m. CDT for this week’s Backchannel videocast featuring Dr. Paul Gottfried, Chronicles Editor in Chief, on the topic of "Cultural Marxism." Dr. Gottfried will delve into his extensive knowledge on the subject to help us understand the meaning and origin of the term, and what the implications of this ideology are for our society.

Gottfried writes in The American Conservative:
"There is a long established practice of confusing what is misleadingly called 'Cultural Marxism' with socialism and Marxist economics. The two are most definitely not the same. Those who invented what the Frankfurt School in interwar Germany called Critical Theory, and that was called by its friends and later adversaries 'Cultural Marxism,' were intent on a cultural revolution. Critical Theory was only secondarily about changing the economic system, which is the primary interest of socialists and which real Marxists maintained could only come about through violence. Although the Frankfurt School and its descendants favored state ownership of productive forces, they took this stand only as a means towards a cultural end. They viewed socialism as instrumental for overcoming sexism, anti-Semitism, and homophobia. These things, which they equated with 'fascism,' were their primary targets."

About the Presenter
Dr. Paul Gottfried, Editor in Chief of Chronicles magazine, is Horace Raffensperger Professor Emeritus of Humanities at Elizabethtown College and author of Multiculturalism and the Politics of Guilt, The Strange Death of Marxism, and Conservatism in America: Making Sense of the American Right. His latest books are The Vanishing Tradition: Perspectives on American Conservatism and Fascism: The Career of a Concept.
