/32/ - Psychopolitics

Step 1: research Tavistock.

>>1958

Thanks, do you have any really good links? I know things like this get flooded with stuff to create confusion

>>1957

here you go op, let william s. lind (Of 4 generations of modern war fame.) explain it to you.

("Cultural marxism" is a real thing, but the term is often overused and isn't the sole factor behind left-wing domination of the University system.)

In this video Samuel Blumenfeld(died in June 2015) exposes how VERY early socialists(even earlier than the first international itself) are destroying America through education from 130years ago.

This material is extremely interesting, a lot of bibliography and names.

>>1971

Olavo de Carvalho, that is, with the Priest Paulo Ricardo de Acevedo, the most based Brazilians in the topic of Cultural marxism.

If you know Portuguese

Cultural Libertarianism is just as stupid. People who have extreme beliefs just open themselves up for manipulation.

Extremism is the 21st century ideology, everyone has a unique a special -ism they can flaunt like jewelry. Commoditization of political thought and the invention of arbitrary identity categories that value can be extracted from. This is happening right as native advertising is becoming a common monetization tactic.

>>1982

Good post.

There's nothing worse than those political ideology quizzes which categorize you based on input answers. Then people internalize the results they receive. Cancerous.

>>1982

Nerds and intellectuals are into -isms, sure, but not normal people. You're making the common mistake of projecting an observation about the outlier class you belong to (internet geeks.) onto the rest of society.

>>1987

Actually identity politics are growing in popularity.

>>1989

Identity politics have always been there. It's just that there's been a recent shift from regional, class, and religious lines to a type of identity politics based more on sexuality and race.

>>1982

This is true. As niche views gain legitimacy with the flattening of the political hierarchy thanks to the internet, so too come in the vultures, steering these small and often poorly-coordinated groups to their own personal ends. I can see this behavior becoming more and more common among political rivals as society continues to fracture.

>>1987

That someone critiqued my point intelligently makes me like this board a lot more.

How can you call conspiracies invoking Tavistock nonsense and quote HG Wells in the same breath? Wells himself was a Fabian.

1. Richard R. Weiner's 1981 book "Cultural Marxism and Political Sociology" is "a thorough examination of the tensions between political sociology and the cultural oriented Marxism that emerged int the 1960s and 1970s." You can buy it here: http://www.amazon.com/Cultural-Marxism-Political-Sociology-Research/dp/0803916450

2. Marxist scholars Lawrence Grossberg and Cary Nelson further popularized the term in "Marxism and the Interpretation of Culture", a collection of papers from 1983 that suggested that Cultural Marxism was ideally suited to "politicizing interpretative and cultural practices" and "radically historicizing our understanding of signifying practices." You can buy it here:http://www.amazon.com/Marxism-Interpretation-Culture-Cary-Nelson/dp/0252014014

Note that the left-wing and progressive Professor Grossberg is a world-renowned professor who is the Chair of Cultural Studies at UNC, near my house. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_Grossberg

3. "Culutral Marxism in Postwar Britain", by Dennis Dworkin, is described by Amazon as "an intellectual history of British cultural Marxism" that "explores one of the most influential bodies of contemporary thought" that represents "an explicit theoretical effort to resolve the crisis of the postwar Left". You can buy it here: http://www.amazon.com/Cultural-Marxism-Postwar-Britain-Post-Contemporary/dp/0822319144

4. "Conversations on Cultural Marxism", by Fredric Jameson, is a collection of essays from 1982 to 2005 about how "the intersections of politics and culture have reshaped the critical landscape across the humanities and social sciences". You can buy it here: http://www.amazon.com/Jameson-Conversations-Cultural-Post-Contemporary-Interventions/dp/0822341093

Note that Dennis Dworkin is a progressive professor at the University of Nevada, where his most recent book, "Class Struggles", extends the themes of "Cultural Marxism in Postwar Britain".

5. "Cultural Marxism," by Frederic Miller and Agnes F. Vandome, states that "Cultural Marxism is a generic term referring to a loosely associated group of critical theorists who have been influenced by Marxist thought and who share an interest in analyzing the role of the media, art, theatre, film and other cultural institutions in a society. The phrase refers to any critique of culture that has been informed by Marxist thought. Although scholars around the globe have employed various types of Marxist critique to analyze cultural artifacts, the two most influential have been the Institute for Social Research at the University of Frankfurt am Main in Germany (the Frankfurt School) and the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies in Birmingham, UK. The latter has been at the center of a resurgent interest in the broader category of Cultural Studies." You can buy it here. http://www.abebooks.co.uk/Cultural-Marxism-Frederic-Miller-Agnes-Vandome/2237883213/bd

The essay "Cultural Marxism and Cultural Studies," by UCLA Professor Douglas Kellner, says " 20th century Marxian theorists ranging from Georg Lukacs, Antonio Gramsci, Ernst Bloch, Walter Benjamin, and T.W. Adorno to Fredric Jameson and Terry Eagleton employed the Marxian theory to analyze cultural forms in relation to their production, their imbrications with society and history, and their impact and influences on audiences and social life... There are, however, many traditions and models of cultural studies, ranging from neo-Marxist models developed by Lukàcs, Gramsci, Bloch, and the Frankfurt school in the 1930s to feminist and psychoanalytic cultural studies to semiotic and post-structuralist perspectives (see Durham and Kellner 2001)." The essay is available here: http://pages.gseis.ucla.edu/faculty/kellner/essays/culturalmarxism.pdf

Note that Professor Kellner is a progressive professor, an expert in Herbert Marcuse, and critic of the culture of masculinity for school shootings.

6. For another reference, see http://culturalpolitics.net/cultural_theory/journals for a list of cultural studies journals such as "Monthly Review", the long-standing journal of Marxist cultural and political studies". Note that the website Cultural Politics is a progressive site devoted to "critical analysis" of the "arena where social, economic, and political values and meanings are created and contested."

7. You could also check out "Cultural Marxism: Media, Culture and Society", Volume 7, Issue 1 of Critical sociology, of the Transforming Sociology series, from the Institute for Advanced Studies in Sociology.

I hope that this brief survey amply demonstrates that Cultural Marxism is a term created and actively used by progressive scholars to describe the school of thought that first developed at Frankfurt and Birmingham to apply Marxism to cultural studies.

I've never seen the term "Cultural Capitalism" be discussed before. I think an exploration of the meanings and uses of that expression could be a good topic for a new thread, and could also allow you to express your views on the topic, about which you seem to hold strong opinions.

I deleted your image because it added little, if anything at all, to the discussion. Perhaps you should try to express the meaning you were trying to convey with it in words. This board is also SFW.

Your post regarding the deletion of the picture was deleted because it should have been posted to the meta thread, it added nothing to the discussion, and contained needless profanity.

It is clear that you are passionate about the topics, but I ask that you contribute in maintaining a high level of debate while on this board. Try to refrain from pointless insults and unnecessary profanity.

If you would like to ask me something, criticize me or make suggestions, please use the meta thread.

I'm getting tired of this troll and his constant pathetic indirect defense of cultural marxist and overused insults in every thread
