| | The new mantra of Marxists would be: change the western culture and then the workers would unite. Willi Munzenberg stated explicitly that its goal was to "organise the intellectuals and use them to make [[Western civilization]] stink. Only then, after they have corrupted all its values and made life impossible, can we impose the [[dictatorship of the proletariat]]."<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/JordanPeterson/comments/fc6mqf/if_you_dont_know_what_the_the_frankfurt_school_is/</ref> Thus, after Marx there were a group of Marxists who wilily decided that you could bring the [[Nimrodian aspirations|collectivists society]] to nation through culture as well by introducing certain pseudo-values and concepts that would, for example, [[Destroying the family|break down the family]]. If family unit is no longer self-sustaining and no longer valued in the society, then its individual members, who formerly could turn to the family for support in times of need, would now be cut loose. They would be without the place to go hence forced to turn to the [[government]] and its institutions shaped by the aforementioned "long march" i.e. by sort of [[gleichschaltung]]. | | The new mantra of Marxists would be: change the western culture and then the workers would unite.
