The Ultimate Conspiracy Of Power & Oppression

     Cultural Marxism is, at its root, a grand conspiracy as to why Marixsm didn’t spontaniously become adopted by industrial nations. From that is mutated into a viral infection that makes the infected consider themselves the vaunted oppressed kept down by systems of oppression. Any superficial form can be grafted onto this and any oppressor/oppressed dynamic works, even if it conflicts with another such virally adopted dynamic of oppressor/oppressed. As “Liberty Belle” explains, which is quoted in full below due to the limitations of Twitter/X embeds:

Critical Theory is ultimately a conspiracy theory about power & systemic oppression. It justifies its believers’ ressentiment (suppressed rage & envy) & allows them to project their own failures onto others.

Revisiting Critical Theory, & keeping this in mind when looking at Woke & Wokish:

Critical Theory is a critical theory of society. It believes that power is at the bottom of everything, & not just power but corrupted power. An evil, oppressive force.

Critical Theory arose from cultural Marxism, & figures from the Frankfurt School. It ran with the idea that the revolutionary movement needed to be shifted from economics to culture. The targets became the institutions of cultural production.

The Critical Theorists’ tactic: relentless criticism of everything you want to control.

Critical Theory aims to raise critical consciousness; to become “awakened” to man’s position as imprisoned within oppressive social systems, & to know the hidden truths behind the force that is oppressing him. This is “Woke.”

Critical Theory informs their critiques, & their prescriptions to solve society’s ills.

They identify social problems, criticize them, elicit critical consciousness by communicating these critiques in an attempt to gather support in their endeavor to spur a revolution. The critical theorist seeks liberation from oppressive social structures that perpetuate inequalities & injustices.

Their goal is disruption, subversion, & revolution for an ultimate goal of replacing existing hegemony with their system. They believe that their “awakened elite”, those with the hidden truths, should replace the corrupted elite.

This is the Critical Theory dynamic:

Critique —> liberate —> transform

For the Critical Theorist, is the oppressor capitalists, Westerners, men, white people— or is it “The Jews,” liberals & liberalism, racial & ethnic minorities, women, or the “Post-war consensus”??

No matter what the “oppressive force” is that’s identified, Critical Theory is in opposition to a classically liberal society that prizes & protects individual liberties.

     Same thinking; same inevitable horrific failure.
