'''Cultural Marxism''' is a branch of [[Marxist]] ideology which had its origins the early part of the twentieth century. Cultural Marxism comprises much of the foundation of '''Political correctness'''. It emerged as a response of [[Europe]]an Marxist intellectuals disillusioned by the early political failures of conventional economic Marxist ideology.<ref>cf. External source: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gIdBuK7_g3M Cultural Marxism: The Corruption of America] is a James Jaeger Film with ambition to show how ''a love affair with collectivist ideologies has lead to ever bigger government and the welfare-warfare state. Lead by a Marxist splinter group called the "[[Frankfurt School]]" -- "the long march through the institutions" has infiltrated every corner of [[Western culture]] to corrupt traditional Christian values with "[[political correctness]]," another name for "cultural Marxism."''</ref>

The central idea of Cultural Marxism is to soften up and prepare Western Civilization for economic Marxism after a gradual, relentless, sustained attack on every institution of Western culture, including schools, literature, art, film, the Judeo-Christian religious tradition, the family, sexual mores, etc.<ref>cf. The tendency of dictatorial ideologies to influence public institutions etc. so that these would serve their agendas is termed as [[Gleichschaltung]].</ref> The attacks are usually framed in Marxist terms as a class struggle between oppressors and oppressed; the members of the latter class allegedly include women, minorities, homosexuals, and adherents of non-Western religions such as Islam.

While Marx's ''Communist Manifesto'' focused on the alleged class struggle between bourgeois (owners of the means of production) and proletariat (workers), Marx did address culture, which he intimated would change after his economic vision was implemented.

==History==
[[Image:Breitbart1.jpg|thumb|160px|right|Andrew Breitbart]]
[[Andrew Breitbart]] gives a great if not brief crash course discussion about ''Cultural Marxism'' with Peter Robinson of the [[Hoover Institute]] for ''Uncommon Knowledge'', and in part this is what he said:
<blockquote>
Think about this: These guys left, THESE GUYS LEFT NAZI GERMANY and Mussolini's Italy to come to California in the 1940's and they lived by the beach, and they were depressed by the relentless cheery-ness - the productivity; and the capitalism that they witnessed around them. And they came up with, at the end of the day; We can call it Cultural Marxism, but at the end of the day, we experience it on a day to day basis, by that I mean a minute by minute, second by second basis. It’s political correctness and it’s multiculturalism.<ref>[https://youtu.be/b8CpON8VrRU?t=22m38s Andrew Breitbart - Media War]</ref></blockquote>
In the video, Breitbart discusses the ''Frankfurt School'', ''Critical Theory'', Herbert Marcuse, [[Antonio Gramsci]], Max Horkheimer, Theodor Adorno, and others of the German School, many which emigrated to America. He further wrote about ''Cultural Marxism'' more in-depth in his book ''Righteous Indignation'.
