The\u00a0former minister was attacked by the usual Jewish and Zionist pressure\u00a0groups, ranging from\u00a0The Board of\u00a0Deputies (BOD)\u00a0to Hope not Hate to the usual compromised Labour politicians. \u00a0However, unlike\u00a0our caricature\u00a0of an opposition\u00a0leader who grovels on demand, Mrs Braverman kept her dignity intact. She didn\u2019t see any point to\u00a0retract, apologise\u00a0or promise not to repeat the phrase as the BOD demanded.<\/h5>\n<h5>One may wonder why \u2018Cultural Marxism\u2019 is so offensive to some?<\/h5>\n<h5>Because \u2018Cultural Marxism\u2019 is obviously truthful and precise in its capacity to encapsulate a\u00a0crucial and disastrous\u00a0transition in the evolvement of 20th\u00a0century Left thinking.<\/h5>\n<h5>As opposed to traditional Marxism that theorizes over the necessary condition toward social change by means of class struggle, \u2018Cultural Marxism\u2019 aims to introduce a change by cultural shift. At a certain stage some (neo) marxists and socialists were clever and honest enough to accept that the revolution wasn\u2019t going to happen. The working class couldn\u2019t be bothered and even if they could, they were too busy attending their jobs. The revolution had to be facilitated by different means.<\/h5>\n<h5>Antonio Gramsci, probably the father figure\u00a0of cultural\u00a0Marxist thought, contended that bourgeois hegemony was reproduced in cultural life through the media, academia and religious institutions to \u2018manufacture consent\u2019 and legitimacy. The proletarian struggle for control of the means of production, according to Gramsci, could only succeed once an alternative culture replaces the bourgeois cultural hegemony. For Gramsci it was a \u2018counter-hegemonic\u2019 struggle \u2013 advancing alternatives to dominant ideas of what is normal and legitimate.<\/h5>\n<h5>Gramsci didn\u2019t see his desired cultural shift materialising. He died prematurely<strong>, <\/strong>jailed in Mussolini\u2019s Italy. However, Gramsci\u2019s ideas were adopted and developed by a list of thinkers including Wilhelm Reich and the Frankfurt School\u2019s leading icons: Theodor Adorno, Herbert Marcuse, Max Horkheimer, Erich Fromm and others. As it seems, these thinkers who have had a tremendous impact on contemporary Left and progressive thinking have something in\u00a0common: they were Jews of Germanic origin.<\/h5>\n<h5>By now the picture starts to become clear. The contemporary Left is dominated by a Jewish-influenced school of thought that preaches a constant struggle against hegemonic discourses such as traditional family values, the church, the male, the \u2018white\u2019 and so on. This school of thought also advocates against elementary liberties such as freedom of speech, evidenced by the popularity of no-platforming. It is hardly a secret that the above school of thought is a complete dismissal of every conservative value and Mrs Braverman was both astute and correct in calling a spade a spade: \u201cas Conservatives, we are engaged in a battle against cultural Marxism\u2026\u201d<\/h5>\n<h5>Mrs Braverman was accused\u00a0of \u2018anti-Semitism,\u2019\u00a0despite the fact that she\u00a0didn\u2019t refer to Jews.\u00a0By their unwitty actions, once again, Jewish pressure\u00a0groups\u00a0actually admitted that \u2018Cultural Marxism is indeed a\u00a0Jewish-influenced\u00a0school of thought,\u00a0otherwise it\u00a0is impossible to conceive what was anti-Semitic in Braverman\u2019s statement.\u00a0 Braverman was also\u00a0blamed\u00a0for repeating\u00a0a \u2018phrase used by mass murderer Anders Breivik,\u201d\u00a0as if referring to a term used by a mass murderer is an approval of a murderous act.<\/h5>\n<h5>I guess that this is the right point to introduce a twist\u00a0into\u00a0this entire saga. It is crucial to mention that the\u00a0right-wing\u00a0thinkers who\u00a0popularised\u00a0the usage of \u2018Cultural Marxism\u2019 were actually\u00a0Jewish and\u00a0even\u00a0ultra-Zionists. The first amongst them is\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ePAvvi91cQM\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">Andrew Breitbart<\/span><\/a>,\u00a0who\u00a0was dedicated\u00a0to the\u00a0exposing\u00a0of the Neo-Marxist menace. \u00a0Not far behind him in his\u00a0attack is the\u00a0horrid right wing\u00a0ultra-Zionist\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontpagemag.com\/fpm\/269425\/how-identity-politics-designed-destroy-us-david-horowitz\"><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">David Horowitz<\/span><\/a>.\u00a0It is not exactly a secret that in his manifesto Breivik refers to David Horowitz\u2019s Freedom Centre.\u00a0For those who fail to remember, Breivik also quoted Jewish writer Melanie Philips\u2019 criticism of Neo Marxist\u2019s attitude to immigration: \u00a0\u00a0&#8220;It (immigration) was a politically motivated attempt by ministers to transform the fundamental make-up and identity of this country (Britain). It was done to destroy the right of the British people to live in a society defined by a common history, religion, law, language and traditions.&#8221;\u00a0<em>(Melanie Phillips,\u00a0<\/em><span style=\"color: #ffff00;\"><a style=\"color: #ffff00;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/news\/media\/press\/the-rightwing-columnists-in-killers-manifesto-2325918.html\"><em>as quoted<\/em><\/a><\/span><em>\u00a0by mass murderer, Anders Breivik, in his manifesto).<\/em><\/h5>\n<h5>I didn\u2019t\u00a0see Jewish\u00a0pressure groups, the BOD, Hope not Hate or Labour MPs\u00a0trying to silence Andrew Breitbart, David Horowitz or Melanie Philips. I guess that Jews and Zionists controlling the opposition and criticising Cultural Marxism must be a kosher adventure.<\/h5>\n<h5>In\u00a0<em>Being in Time<\/em>\u00a0I argue that it isn\u2019t totally\u00a0surprising\u00a0that Jews often\u00a0dominate the dissent to Jewish cultural and\u00a0ideological symptoms.\u00a0 If <em>choseness<\/em>, for instance, is a Jewish political\/cultural symptom,\u00a0it may as well be possible that self-hatred and even universalism are just metaphysical antibodies. If Cultural Marxism is a\u00a0Jewish-influenced\u00a0school of thought, it shouldn\u2019t\u00a0take us by complete\u00a0surprise that it is also Jewish writers such as Horowitz, Philips and Breitbart who bring the\u00a0anti antidotes to light.<\/h5>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gilad.co.uk\/writings\/2019\/3\/30\/why-is-cultural-marxism-so-offensive\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier this week former Brexit minister\u00a0Suella Braverman\u00a0referred to \u2018Cultural Marxism\u2019 in a speech, writes Gilad Atzmon.\u00a0All hell\u00a0broke loose\u00a0immediately<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":109,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[61,37],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-186017","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-Commentary","category-Israel_Anti-Semitism_Zionism_and_US-UK_allies"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/186017","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/109"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=186017"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/186017\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":186022,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/186017\/revisions\/186022"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=186017"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=186017"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=186017"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
