| − | According to [[Wikipedia]], cultural Marxism has become a focal topic for many conspiracy theorist websites which seek to cloak their anti-Semitic, anti-Jew messages behind a legitimate topic. It is true that many of the members of the Frankfurt School were Jewish, but their big problem was that they were [[Marxists]]. Other sources, invariably liberal, deny that cultural Marxism exists and seek to treat the entire topic as a "conspiracy" itself, by casting Cultural Marxism as a "myth" or a "hoax".<ref>[https://attackthesystem.com/2014/05/18/on-the-myth-of-cultural-marxism/ On the Myth of "Cultural Marxism"]</ref> Wikipedia has an entire section titled ''Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory'' within its page for the ''Frankfurt School''.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankfurt_School#Cultural_Marxism_conspiracy_theory Frankfurt School - Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory]</ref> As of September 2020, Wikipedia has added an article titled "Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory," using the image of convicted terrorist and self-identified Nazi fascist Anders Behring Breivik to discredit the theory.<ref> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Marxism_conspiracy_theory</ref>

| | + | The entire left-wing denies that Cultural Marxism exists, dismissing it as a far right ‘conspiracy theory’ and calling the entire topic a ‘myth’ or ‘hoax’. <ref>[https://attackthesystem.com/2014/05/18/on-the-myth-of-cultural-marxism/ On the Myth of "Cultural Marxism"]</ref> [[Wikipedia]] once provided a more honest [https://archive.md/YzkIS article] discussing the topic, before its irreversible slide into progressive bias compelled it to also write it off as a myth. Wikipedia has an entire section titled ''Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory'' within its page for the ''Frankfurt School''.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankfurt_School#Cultural_Marxism_conspiracy_theory Frankfurt School - Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory]</ref> As of September 2020, Wikipedia has added an article titled "Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory," using the image of convicted terrorist and self-identified Nazi fascist Anders Behring Breivik to discredit its existence via guilt by association. <ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cultural_Marxism_conspiracy_theory</ref> Virtually every single source trying to prove it’s a myth are [[Conflict of interest|blatantly biased towards the left or even come from fellow Marxists. Most egregiously, at least one widely cited source comes from the Frankfurt School itself]]. |

| | + | Perhaps the most common method of ‘rebuttal’ is to accuse those who acknowledge Cultural Marxism’s existence of being anti-semetic. This arises from the tendency of a small minority on the far right to highlight the fact that many of the Frankfurt School’s members were Jewish. The issue with the Frankfurt School is that they are [[Marxists]]; their race, religion, or ethnicity is irrelevant. The overwhelming majority of those who know Cultural Marxism exists share this view, and furthermore don’t rely on finding out if the people responsible for creating and spreading it were Jews either. Indeed, Cultural Marxism’s existence doesn’t rely on any connection to Jewish conspiracy theories. |

| | + | Other common ‘rebuttals’ include downplaying the impact of the Frankfurt Schools’ ideology on the world, in spite of the fact that [[LGBT|its]] [[BLM|modern-day]] [[Biden regime|adherents]] have unprecedented power and the ideology can be found in the West’s most powerful institutions. There’s also accusations of equating the push for equality and civil rights with a ‘nefarious plot’. Communists have always sought to subvert and co-opt civil rights movements for their own ends, but the fact remains that civil rights and communism are inherently anathema. MLK, the leader of the civil rights movement in the ‘60s, also denounced communism. Cultural Marxism has never truly advocated for civil rights and equality beyond equal outcomes (which they call ‘equity’), the acquisition of which involves severe civil rights violations. |
