It's very long but highly comprehensive. The Frankfurt School were NOT trying to destroy the West, nor were they propagating "political correctness" or identity politics. The entire conspiracy theory and scapegoating of the Franks has no basis and the only people who could honestly claim Adorno was a proto-SJW have never read him.
It's about (((their))) globalist agenda. They want to run a prison planet of border-less, race-less, culture-less, nation-less, identity-less subdued sheep. They make up less than 1% of the world's population, yet look at all they control from the world's finances to the media that brainwashes us.
In short, they use the entertainment and news media to encourage globalism and discourage nationalism and traditional western values. They distort and lie about the present and past in that effort.

Frankfurt School got chased out of Germany and settled in Berkeley, CA, where they became known as liberals and then subsequently as neo-cons. It's an historical fact and this thread is a troll

lol have you actually read Marcuse? He would have HATED SJWs and PC.
Kayden Rodriguez
He was the man behind the leftist student protests in the 60's.

The student movements of the 60s were very different from the SJWs of today.

Just what is “Political Correctness?” Political Correctness is in fact cultural Marxism (Cultural Communism) – Marxism translated from economic into cultural terms. The effort to translate Marxism from economics into culture did not begin with the student rebellion of the 1960s. It goes back at least to the 1920s and the writings of the Italian Communist Antonio Gramsci. In 1923, in Germany, a group of Marxists founded an institute devoted to making the transition, the Institute of Social Research (later known as the Frankfurt School). One of its founders, George Lukacs, stated its purpose as answering the question, “Who shall save us from Western Civilisation?” The Frankfurt School gained profound influence in European and American universities after many of its leading lights fled and spread all over Europe and even to the United States in the 1930s to escape National Socialism in Germany. In Western Europe it gained influence in universities from 1945. The Frankfurt School blended Marx with Freud, and later influences (some Fascist as well as Marxist) added linguistics to create “Critical Theory” and “deconstruction.” These in turn greatly influenced education theory, and through institutions of higher education gave birth to what we now call “Political Correctness.” The lineage is clear, and it is traceable right back to Karl Marx. The parallels between the old, economic Marxism and cultural Marxism are evident. Cultural Marxism, or Political Correctness, shares with classical Marxism the vision of a “classless society,” i.e., a society not merely of equal opportunity, but equal condition. Since that vision contradicts human nature – because people are different, they end up unequal, regardless of the starting point – society will not accord with it unless forced. So, under both variants of Marxism, it is forced. This is the first major parallel between classical and cultural Marxism
James Long
The second major parallel is that both classical, economic Marxism and cultural Marxism have single-factor explanations of history. Classical Marxism argues that all of history was determined by ownership of the means of production. Cultural Marxism says that history is wholly explained by which groups – defined by sex, race, religion and sexual normality or abnormality – have power over which other groups. The third parallel is that both varieties of Marxism declare certain groups virtuous and others evil a priori, that is, without regard for the actual behaviour of individuals. Classical Marxism defines workers and peasants as virtuous and the bourgeoisie (the middle class) and other owners of capital as evil. Cultural Marxism defines all minorities, what they see as the victims; Muslims, Feminist women, homosexuals and some additional minority groups as virtuous and they view ethnic Christian European men as evil. (Cultural Marxism does not recognise the existence of non-Feminist women, and defines Muslims, Asians and Africans who reject Political Correctness as evil, just like native Christian or even atheist Europeans.). The fourth parallel is in means: expropriation. Economic Marxists, where they obtained power, expropriated the property of the bourgeoisie and handed it to the state, as the “representative” of the workers and the peasants. Cultural Marxists, when they gain power (including through our own government), lay penalties on native European men and others who disagree with them and give privileges to the ”victim” groups they favour. Affirmative action is an example
Jacob Ward
THose guys were very clearly trying to subvert Western culture, they fucking state as much themselves. Obviously they didn't want to 'destroy the West', they are part of the West.
But they did want to destroy what they saw as an oppressive mainstream culture.
Really though I don't know why anybody cares about them, the entire modern academic humanities department should be treated like an insane asylum.
Parker Hughes
One group of Marxist intellectuals resolved their quandary by an analysis that focused on society’s cultural “superstructure” rather than on the economic substructures as Marx did. The Italian Marxist Antonio Gramsci and Hungarian Marxist Georg Lukacs contributed the most to this new cultural Marxism. Antonio Gramsci worked for the Communist International during 1923-24 in Moscow and Vienna. He was later imprisoned in one of Mussolini’s jails where he wrote his famous “Prison Notebooks.” Among Marxists, Gramsci is noted for his theory of cultural hegemony as the means to class dominance. In his view, a new “Communist man” had to be created before any political revolution was possible. This led to a focus on the efforts of intellectuals in the fields of education and culture. Gramsci envisioned a long march through the society’s institutions, including the government, the judiciary, the military, the schools and the media. He also concluded that so long as the workers had a Christian soul, they would not respond to revolutionary appeals. Georg Lukacs was the son a (((wealthy Hungarian banker))). Lukacs began his political life as an agent of the Communist International. His book History and Class Consciousness gained him recognition as the leading Marxist theorist since Karl Marx. Lukacs believed that for a new Marxist culture to emerge, the existing culture must be destroyed. He said, “I saw the revolutionary destruction of society as the one and only solution to the cultural contradictions of the epoch,” and, “Such a worldwide overturning of values cannot take place without the annihilation of the old values and the creation of new ones by the revolutionaries.”
Kayden Rogers
When he became Deputy Commissar for Culture in the Bolshevik Bela Kun regime in Hungary in 1919, Lukacs launched what became known as “Cultural Terrorism.” As part of this terrorism he instituted a radical sex education program in Hungarian schools. Hungarian children were instructed in free love, sexual intercourse, the archaic nature of middle-class family codes, the out-datedness of monogamy, and the irrelevance of religion, which deprives man of all pleasures. Women, too, were called to rebel against the sexual mores of the time. Lukacs’s campaign of “Cultural Terrorism” was a precursor to what Political Correctness would later bring to Western European schools. In 1923, Lukacs and other Marxist intellectuals associated with the Communist Party of Germany founded the Institute of Social Research at Frankfurt University in Frankfurt, Germany. The Institute, which became known as the Frankfurt School, was modelled after the Marx-Engels Institute in Moscow. In 1933, when Nazis came to power in Germany, the members of the Frankfurt School fled. Most came to the United States. The members of the Frankfurt School conducted numerous studies on the beliefs, attitudes and values they believed lay behind the rise of National Socialism in Germany. The Frankfurt School’s studies combined Marxist analysis with Freudian psychoanalysis to criticise the bases of Western culture, including Christianity, capitalism, authority, the family, patriarchy, hierarchy, morality, tradition, sexual restraint, loyalty, patriotism, nationalism, heredity, ethnocentrism, convention and conservatism. These criticisms, known collectively as Critical Theory, were reflected in such works of the Frankfurt School as Erich Fromm’s Escape from Freedom and The Dogma of Christ, Wilhelm’s Reich’s The Mass Psychology of Fascism and Theodor Adorno’s The Authoritarian Personality.
Jose Torres
The Authoritarian Personality, published in 1950, substantially influenced Western European psychologists and social scientists. The book was premised on one basic idea, that the presence in a society of Christianity, capitalism, and the patriarchal-authoritarian family created a character prone to racial and religious prejudice and German fascism. The Authoritarian Personality became a handbook for a national campaign against any kind of prejudice or discrimination on the theory that if these evils were not eradicated, another Holocaust might occur on the European continent. This campaign, in turn, provided a basis for Political Correctness. Critical Theory incorporated sub-theories which were intended to chip away at specific elements of the existing culture, including “matriarchal theory,” “androgyny theory,” “personality theory,” “authority theory,” “family theory,” “sexuality theory,” “racial theory,” “legal theory,” and “literary theory.” Put into practice, these theories were to be used to overthrow the prevailing social order and usher in social revolution. To achieve this, the Critical Theorists of the Frankfurt School recognised that traditional beliefs and the existing social structure would have to be destroyed and then replaced. The patriarchal social structure would be replaced with matriarchy; the belief that men and women are different and properly have different roles would be replaced with androgyny; and the belief that heterosexuality is normal would be replaced with the belief that homosexuality is equally “normal.”

I will watch it tomorrow but still I doubt it. How can you disprove it when these ideas are black on white written? F-scale by Adorno ring any bells? While all these jews were writing you had the other jews in the Senate passing the 1965 Immigration Act that was about to change America forever.

Marcuse wasn't much of an SJW either.
Parker Perez
Just watch his interview on youtube. In the first 3 minutes he starts rambling about racism,opression etc. and this is the 70's.
Marcuse preached the “Great Refusal,” a rejection of all basic Western concepts, sexual liberation and the merits of feminist and black revolution. His primary thesis was that university students, ghetto blacks, the alienated, the asocial, and the Third World could take the place of the proletariat in the Communist revolution. In his book An Essay on Liberation, Marcuse proclaimed his goals of a radical transvaluation of values; the relaxation of taboos; cultural subversion; Critical Theory; and a linguistic rebellion that would amount to a methodical reversal of meaning. As for racial conflict, Marcuse wrote that white men are guilty and that blacks are the most natural force of rebellion. Marcuse may be the most important member of the Frankfurt School in terms of the origins of Political Correctness, because he was the critical link to the counterculture of the 1960s. His objective was clear: “One can rightfully speak of a cultural revolution, since the protest is directed toward the whole cultural establishment, including morality of existing society…” His means was liberating the powerful, primeval force of sex from its civilised restraints, a message preached in his book, Eros and Civilisation, published in 1955. Marcuse became one of the main gurus of the 1960s adolescent sexual rebellion; he himself coined the expression, “make love, not war.”
Jordan Martinez
Why cant these rural and suburban retards understand that we (communists) want to kill the 1% (which is made up off alot jews
Communists just dont want to kill every jew like the nazis.
Carson King
In that same interview, later on, Marcuse essentially predicts political correctness and the rise of SJWs, to his fucking dismay.

The Frankfurt School were Jewish intellectuals that worked for the US government, they tried to create a anti-Soviet Leftism or at least non-anti-American Leftism that could go well with rich Jews and the American Empire.

There's nothing to admit. You will be hard pressed to find ANYTHING in the Frankfurt School's many writings which comes anything close to promoting SJW ideology. SJWs are a product of postmodernism, not Frankfurt School.
Camden Myers
You are a coward
Matthew Campbell
Essentially it's marxism (economic) applied to cultural and ethnic terms. Replace the proletariat with oppressed minorities. People like Gramsci after the end of WW1 and the slaughterhouse in Russia understood that modern man was too comfortable for any kind of revolution so they believed they could achieve their revolution through infiltration of the media, academia and immigration.
Elijah Bailey

Theories of class and recognizing contradictions are hardly unique to Marx, so why call it "Marxism"?

let me know when you debunk something of value
Ryan Brooks
Herbert Marcuse leading intellectual of cultural Marxism
>>“Liberating tolerance, then, would mean intolerance against movements from the Right and toleration of movements from the Left.”
>>discriminating tolerance.” Elsewhere in “Repressive Tolerance,” Marcuse outlined some of the other “apparently undemocratic” tactics that partisans of a true democracy should use.
Some passages from Marcuse's essay: >They would include the withdrawal of toleration of speech and assembly from groups and movements which promote aggressive policies, armament, chauvinism, discrimination on the grounds of race and religion, or which oppose the extension of public services, social security, medical care, etc. Moreover, the restoration of freedom of thought may necessitate new and rigid restrictions on teachings and practices in the educational institutions which, by their very methods and concepts, serve to enclose the mind within the established universe of discourse and behavior — thereby precluding a priori a rational evaluation of the alternatives. And to the degree to which freedom of thought involves the struggle against inhumanity, restoration of such freedom would also imply intolerance toward scientific research in the interest of deadly “deterrents,” of abnormal human endurance under inhuman conditions, etc.
Ryan Reyes
Because I like educating Sup Forums.
Wyatt Martin
Part 1/2
Marcuse is a totalitarian fascists.
That's because there are only two ways to maintain the systemic flaws of industrialization
>The idea of a democratic unfreedom refers to the free acceptance of oppression and surplus repression. (fascism and the shadows of aushwitz)
Or
> Cultural Marxism. Marcuse says the solution is to individualize people and deconstruct power, and free people from the tyranny of their mutilated imaginations. via deconstruction of westernism and whiteness. However he accepts that the deconstruction may rekindle "unimaginable horror".
In either case the systemic flaw of industrialization and consumerism still exists. In practice the two ideologies end up looking almost identical.
You still need oppression, you still need propaganda, You still need indoctrination you still need a eugenics and culling program etc.
It's human nature that is the flaw. A true heir of hitler would strike at the system of the flaw. It's recognition and reconstruction. And it needs to be done very quickly.
Kevin James

At least make some effort

Only a small segment of pseud-tier illiterate Sup Forumstards actually believed it was a unilateral conspiracy stemming from the Frankfurt School.
