The Frankfurt School

GWB:

by Graham L. Strachan

In parallel with the programme of economic globalisation, euphemistically called ‘economic reform’, is an ambitious programme of social globalisation. While economic globalisation transfers ownership of the world’s economic assets and the control of a single integrated global economy into the hands of monopoly capitalists, the social programme delivers control of the world’s people, including their thoughts and actions, into the hands of global monopoly socialists. The aim of the social programme is to completely remake human society, indeed human nature, to make them conform to leftist ideology.

National governments undertake to implement this programme by signing various treaties and agreements at the United Nations. Representatives are then sent to regular UN conferences, from which they return with agendas for implementation at national level. For every treaty there is a UN agency which ensures, through regular inspections and assessments, that national governments implement the terms of the treaty. To understand the programme and how it all fits together, one must first understand socialist ideology.

An ideology is a kind of story, a fantasy about the world intended to justify political action. The story need not be true, in fact in the case of socialist ideology it isn’t. Its purpose is not to explain the world in any objective sense (which distinguishes it from a genuine theory), but to motivate people to take political action. It’s like a faith, a political faith. If the believers are required to destroy an existing social order, as they are in this case, the ideology portrays that order as ‘outmoded’ or ‘unnatural’. Similarly, if the purpose is to overthrow the position of certain classes in the society, those classes are portrayed as evil, accused of ‘discrimination’, ‘wrongs of the past’, and so forth. The purpose of the ideology is to stir up hate for the existing order and the people that support it, and instill a belief in the true believers that they have been chosen by destiny to lead the human race to utopia.

If the ideology conflicts with history, the true believers ignore history, or try to re-write it. If it is contradicted by facts, they ignore the facts, and suppress them by curbing free speech, banning or burning books, or by trying to censor the Internet. If the ideology runs counter to scientific evidence, again that evidence will be ignored or suppressed, or alternative research faked which supports the ideology. In other words, facts do not bother the true believers. Their imaginary world is the real reality, the real world is only a temporary reality which is about to be changed. As Marx said, philosophers try to explain the world, the problem (for social scientists) is to change it.

The particular ideology of the globalist left is traceable initially to Friedrich Engels and his book ‘The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State’ (1884), and it goes basically like this. Once upon a time man lived in a state of blissful communism where there was no hate, no crime, no violence or war, only universal love. This was possible because there was no private ownership of property. Everything was shared by all and allocated according to the principle ‘from each according to their ability, to each according to their need’. In fact nobody laid personal claim to anything, not even their own body. There were no moral rules or restrictions, everybody was bisexual and could have sex with anybody and everybody else regardless of age or sex. The society was a matriarchy, ruled by women, and there were no such things as nations or national borders which might cause wars or conflict. This was allegedly the human race in its original state, and because it was the original state (so the story goes) it must be the ‘natural’ state, the way humans would still be, if it weren’t for an awful thing that happened.

One day white men came along, and conspired together to invent private property. Then they invented the institution of marriage to enslave women. Then they invented nations and borders which caused wars, and they turned the society into a heterosexual patriarchy (the ‘male dominated society’), and they invented laws and moral restrictions as a form of social control. Ever since then the world has been fraught with evil, guilt, crime, wars, conflict, and social injustice. What needs to be done is for an historically determined revolutionary class to overthrow the partiarchal system along with its private property, marriage, the family, moral rules, individualism, the rule of law, heterosexuality, nations and national borders, and let the human race revert to its natural communist, bi-sexual, matriarchal state. Then and only then will the people be ‘free’ to ‘explore choices’ and ‘fully develop their human potential’. Only then will the complete human story have been told, and that will be the ‘end of history’.

There is not a scrap of truth in any of it. It is pure fantasy. The primitive races Engels based the theory on (the Gentes) have since been shown to have had tribal ownership of land, private ownership of possessions, moral restrictions and laws [see Hans Kelson, ‘The Communist Theory of Law ’]. No society has ever been found without those things [see Margaret Mead and others]. Society is impossible without those things [see F.A.Hayek, ‘Law, Legislation and Liberty’]. But apart from that, even if such a society had ever existed, there is no ground for saying that ‘therefore’ it is the natural or desirable state of man, justifying the destruction of existing civilisation so the human race can revert to it. The propositions (1) that the original state is the natural state, or (2) that the natural state is necessarily a good state, are two of the oldest logical fallacies in the book. But as with facts, if ideology conflicts with logic, ignore logic. Logic is dismissed as an artificial construct of the partiarchy. The true believers have ‘special ways of knowing’.

The programme of compulsion which forces this world view on the broader community has become known as ‘political correctness’ (PC). The name ‘political correctness’ originated as something of a joke, literally in a comic strip, and people tend still to think of it as only half-serious. In fact, it’s deadly serious. It has left tens of millions of people dead in Europe, in Russia, in China, indeed around the world. PC is not funny. It has been described as ‘cultural Marxism’.

200805112206380rhic.jpg

The origins of political correctness are traceable to Germany, and the Institute for Social Research, established in 1923 by Felix Weil, Marxist son of a millionaire German trader, in association with Frankfurt University. The work of the Institute, which came to be called the Frankfurt School, was to translate Marxism from economic into cultural terms. Political Correctness as it is known today was created by that Institute. Essentially the task had been completed by the end of the 1930s.

Other key members of the Frankfurt School were Theodore Adorno, Erich Fromm and Herbert Marcuse. Fromm and Marcuse introduced the central sexual element into Political Correctness. The call for sexual liberation, which will supposedly lead to human sensual happiness, figures prominently in the work of the Institute. In a 1936 essay, ‘Egoism and the Movement for Emancipation’, Frankfurt School director Max Horkeimer discussed the “hostility to personal gratification inherent in bourgeois culture.” He referred favourably to the Marquis de Sade for his “protest…against asceticism in the name of a higher morality.” Marcuse called for a world of ‘polymorphous perversity’. Erich Fromm advanced the idea that masculinity and femininity are not reflections of biological differences, they are the result of social conditioning.

When the Nazis came to power in Germany in 1933 they closed down the Frankfurt School and its members, mostly Jews, fled to New York where the Institute was re-established with help from Columbia University. When the second World War began in 1939, some of them went to work for the American government. Herbert Marcuse became a key figure in the OSS (the predecessor to the CIA), while others, including Horkheimer and Adorno, moved to Hollywood.

After the war, Marcuse wrote a key book, ‘Eros and Civilization’, which virtually became the bible of the student movement during the 1960s. In it Marcuse argued that repression of the sexual instincts was the essence of the capitalist order, causing hang-ups and neuroses (an idea borrowed from Freud). The repressive order needs to be destroyed, so that eros, the libido, can be liberated. The human race can then look forward to a future of ‘polymorphous perversity’, in which everybody can ‘do their own thing’. ‘If it feels good, do it’. It was Marcuse who created the phrase, ‘Make love, not war’. He defined ‘liberating tolerance’ as intolerance for anything coming from the Right, and tolerance for anything coming from the Left.

The purpose of PC is to force people to think, speak and act in accordance with leftist ideology, even though that ideology conflicts with the facts of history, science, reality, logic, and social custom observed over the past (at least) 5000 years. The idea is to force people to live in a new reality ‘legislated’ by the left under threat of ostracism, persecution, prosecution and even execution for failure to comply. The idea is that if enough people can be forced to think and act in accordance with a particular view of the world, that world view will become the reality. It is the ultimate rationalism, known as idealism: reality is all in the mind, in this case the collective mind of the populace. Get enough people to believe something, and that becomes real. The mind determines reality, not the reverse. As Hegel said (and the left believe it) ‘the real is the rational, and the rational is the real’. Dreams can come true if enough people can be forced to dream them.

The people inventing this stuff don’t believe a word of it. But the ideology, by appealing to the superstition, basic instincts particularly sexual, and desire of many to see perceived injustices of the past avenged, is used to recruit what Lenin called ‘useful idiots’. Those useful idiots are persuaded, particularly in the social science faculties of Western universities, that existing civilisation is unnatural, a deliberate construct of white heterosexual males to dominate the rest of society, including the natural environment. The ideology then instills in the useful idiots a sense of moral righteousness, a belief that they are the ‘historically determined’ revolutionary class, and exhorts them to undermine and overthrow civilisation as it is now known. As the ‘vanguard’ of social change, their destiny is to ‘liberate the human race’, and allow it to revert to its so-called ‘natural’ state of primordial, pan-sexual, matriarchal communism.

In fact their efforts will bring about anarchy and social chaos, serving to ‘prove’ that the existing system is ‘unworkable’, and justifying the imposition of a global totalitarian state by a self-styled elite waiting in the wings: Plato’s Republic on a global scale.

In the meantime, children are being pumped full of the ideology in schools by teachers encouraged in the social science faculties to regard themselves as ‘change facilitators’. The world is reduced to a child-like medieval morality play: women, blacks, homosexuals and children are defined as good by nature, the ‘victims’ of white male aggression; white men, non-feminist women, old people, heterosexuals and Christians become evil by definition. The former are capable only of love, incapable of wrongdoing unless driven to it by heterosexual white men; the latter are capable only of hate, ‘discrimination’, various ‘phobias’ and ‘wrongs of the past’. The former come to be identified automatically as ‘right’, and are justified in commandeering the power of the state and the law to secure their ends; the latter are evil and deserve to be vilified, mistreated, denied justice and democracy.

To intimidate and silence people who dare to challenge PC dogma, a whole range of nasty names have been invented. There are globophobes, xenophobes, homophobes, femophobes, male chauvinist pigs, sexists, rednecks, reactionaries, racists, populists, neanderthals, troglodytes, simplistic jingoistic anachronistic good ol’ boys, ageists against youth, baby-boomers, right-wing extremists, religious fundamentalists, anti-semites, neo-Nazis, white supremacists, scaremongers and conspiracy theorists. Because most leftist ‘argument’ has to avoid confronting facts at all costs, it invariably boils down to senseless name-calling. That, plus the fact that leftist ideologues now dominate the media, academia and the treaching professions, explains much of the tragic decline in journalism, scholarship and public debate under the influence of PC.

Invoking Lenin’s injunction to ‘call your enemies what you are’, the globalist left, while continuing their hate-driven war on civilisation, answer their critics by calling them names and accusing them of ‘spreading hate’. It works. The masses still haven’t woken up.

      All of this is truly what is meant by “The road to hell is paved with good intentions”. Secular humanism is a lie, based on smaller and smaller lies, overt lies and lies simply by omission. Utopia is only possible through God, without him it simply isn’t possible, we aren’t perfect and we’re not all the same, it will never happen without Him.

      Those of us alive today will be able to witness a series of events not seen since the Fall of the Roman Empire. You have been given front-row seats to one of the greatest events in History: The Fall of America and the Defeat of Liberty. Obama (Death) is astride the Pale Horse, and Hell follows after.

      Socialism always fails primarily because it requires huge amounts of money and it depresses and/or oppresses the sources of money - individual productivity and enterprise… things Socialists know nothing about.
      Mostly because they never learned to think FOR themselves. They think only ABOUT themselves.

      Todays prophesy is that Jesus is the son of God, the Son of man.Believe it, grasp it before the door is shut. Many miracles and wonders will cause multitudes to worship the beast. The devil decives the world

    7. Can we, should we, try to stop the train of madness that much of humanity has climbed aboard?
      As the train goes off the cliff will we be drawn into it’s draft and pulled to ruin also?

      I believe for my children’s sake, we must derail it while there is still time.

      “All propaganda has to be popular and has to accommodate itself to the comprehension of the least intelligent of those whom it seeks to reach.”

      “By the skillful and sustained use of propaganda, one can make a people see even heaven as hell or an extremely wretched life as paradise.”

      “Great liars are also great magicians.”

      “How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don’t think.”

      “I use emotion for the many and reserve reason for the few.”

      “Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it.”

      “The broad masses of a population are more amenable to the appeal of rhetoric than to any other force.”

      “The great strength of the totalitarian state is that it forces those who fear it to imitate it.”

      “The day of individual happiness has passed.”

      – A. Hitler

      PC is liberal fascism at work. It’s spearheaded at a local level by public educators, activists and special interest groups typically of leftist bent and protected by inept organizations like the ACLU, the U.N, The E.U etc.. and propagated by a intellectually bankrupt msm and morally unsound Democratic Party and other Socialists - without guilt trips, fear mongering and asinine name calling all these losers cease to exist. Reason, logic, truth, are all unattainable in such an atmosphere of ignorance, intolerance and chaos are all that remain.

      I pity (and loathe) leftards who cannot see or taste the poison they have digested. In the past there was a slight chance we could reach them, not anymore. Their collective psychosis seems beyond repair. Most evidenced by 9/11 and the following years of unhinged derangement, plus the all out assault not only on Christianity but on logic and reason proves how socially divisive/destructive PC is. It elevates cowards to authority and aims to destroy the individual.

      Political Correctness is a poison being handed out daily and in toxic doses by its proliferators.

      “Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional illogical liberal minority & rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous liberal press which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.”

      Libtards are positioned so far Left they would rather argue that they posses two Left Arms than admit to having anything resembling or categorized as right. The damage to all societies caused by the relentless and irresponsible spread of the PC doctrine will continue unchecked as long as WE tolerate it. PC has been around as long a Political Passivity and was present in the earliest writings of the communist parties strongmen like Mao and Lenin.

      The Pacifist/Liberal movements have been tumors in the colon of society since humans have been organizing governments, and the Toxin known as Political Correctness will continue until we wipe it from the face of the earth.

    11. In a camper in the Keys 10 years ago, I watched the full explanation of the Frankfurt School on CSPN. My hair stood on end and I was distraught that this group (Media in Action, I think)did not right then proceed to expose PC for what it is: pure censorship. Nothing. But I was now, sadly, the woman who knew too much as I watched Clinton, Obama, MSM, etc. and where they are taking the country. I remember when the book Unlimited Access described one of Clinton’s Whitehouse Christmas trees decorated with sex objects. Twas true. I teach and see the pc corruption in full, growing full swing. The country is in trouble.

      Gun Law Update by Alan Korwin,
      Author Gun Laws of America Jan. 5, 2008

      Gun-ban list proposed.

      Slipping below the radar (or under the short-term memory cap), the Democrats
      Have already leaked a gun-ban list, even under the Bush administration when
      They knew full well it had no chance of passage (HR 1022, 110th Congress)
      It serves as a framework for the new list the Brady’s plan to introduce shortly.

      I have an outline of the Brady’s current plans and targets of opportunity,
      It’s horrific. They’re going after the courts, regulatory agencies, firearms
      Dealers and statutes in an all out effort to restrict we the people. They’ve
      Made little mention of criminals.

      Now more than ever, attention to the entire Bill of Rights is critical. Gun
      Bans will impact our freedoms under search and seizure, due process,
      Confiscated property, states’ rights, free speech, right to assemble and
      More, in addition to the Second Amendment.

      The Democrats current gun-ban-list proposal (final list will be worse):

      Rifles (or copies or duplicates):

      M1 Carbine, Sturm Ruger Mini-14, AR-15, Bushmaster XM15,
      Armalite M15, AR-10, Thompson 1927, Thompson M1; AK, AKM, AKS, AK-47,
      AK-74, ARM, MAK90, NHM 90, NHM 91, SA 85, SA 93, VEPR; Olympic Arms PCR;
      AR70, Calico Liberty, Dragunov SVD Sniper Rifle or Dragunov SVU, Fabrique
      National FN/FAL, FN/LAR,or FNC, Hi-Point20Carbine, HK-91, HK-93, HK-94, HK-PSG-1,
      Thompson 1927 Commando, Kel-Tec Sub Rifle; Saiga, SAR-8, SAR-4800, SKS with detachable magazine, SLG 95, SLR 95 or 96, Steyr AU, Tavor, Uzi, Galil and Uzi Sporter, Galil Sporter, or
      Galil Sniper Rifle ( Galatz ).

      Pistols (or copies or duplicates):

      Calico M-110, MAC-10, MAC-11, or MPA3, Olympic Arms OA,
      TEC-9, TEC-DC9, TEC-22 Scorpion, or AB-10, Uzi.

      Shotguns (or copies or duplicates):
      Armscor 30 BG, SPAS 12 or LAW 12, Striker 12, Streetsweeper.
      Catch-all category (for anything missed or new designs):

      A semiautomatic rifle that accepts a detachable magazine and has:

      (i) a folding or telescoping stock,
      (ii) a threaded barrel,
      (iii) a pistol grip (which includes ANYTHING that can serve as a grip, see below),
      (iv) a forward grip; or a barrel shroud.

      Any semiautomatic rifle with a fixed magazine that can
      Accept more than 10 rounds (except tubular magazine .22 rimfire rifles).

      A semiautomatic pistol that has the ability to accept a detachable magazine,
      And has:

      (i) a second pistol grip,
      (ii) a threaded barrel,
      (iii) a barrel shroud or
      (iv) can accept a detachable magazine outside of the pistol grip, and
      (v) a semiautomatic pistol with a fixed magazine that can accept more than 10 rounds.

      A semiautomatic shotgun with:
      (i) a folding or telescoping stock,
      (ii) a pistol grip (see definition below),
      (iii) the ability to accept a detachable magazine or a fixed magazine capacity of more than 5
      rounds, and
      (iv) a shotgun with a revolving cylinder.

      Frames or receivers for the above are included, along with conversion kits.

      Attorney General gets carte blanche to ban guns at will:

      Under the proposal, the U.S. Attorney General can add any “semiautomaticrifle or
      Shotgun originally designed for military or law enforcement use, or a firearm based
      On the design of such a firearm, that is not particularly suitable for sporting purposes,
      As determined by the Attorney General.”

      Note that Obama’s pick for this office (Eric Holder, confirmation hearing set for Jan. 15)
      Wrote a brief in the Heller case supporting the position that you have no right to have a
      Working firearm in your own home.

      In making this determination, the bill says, “thereshall be a rebuttable presumption that
      A firearm procured for use by the United States military or any federal law enforcement agency
      Is not particularly suitable for sporting purposes, and a firearm shall not be determined to be
      Particularly suitable for sporting purposes solely because the firearm is suitable for use in a
      Sporting event.”

      In plain English this means that ANY firearm ever obtained by federal officers or the military
      Is not suitable for the public.

      The last part is particularly clever, stating that a firearm doesn’t have a sporting purpose just because

      It can be used for sporting purpose — is that devious or what? And of course, “sporting purpose” is a
      Rights infringement with no constitutional or historical support whatsoever, invented by domestic enemies of the right to keep and bear arms to further their cause of disarming the innocent.

    19. ron

      This is all good. But Mark Steyn’s book “America Alone” and Eric Hoffers book “The True Believer” help complete the picture.

      Mark Steyn in essence points out that the successful society must … have children. Youth is the energy that gets things done. No kids - no energy. No energy - no will. Which explains why Europe is caving in the way it is. They simply ARE NOT HAVING KIDS.

      Eric Hoffer explains how so many otherwise intelligent people gravitate to so much nuttiness. He makes the all important connection between Fascist (the real kind) and Communists. The book was written in 1951, but you feel like he wrote it on 9/11. The insights are so powerful, your mouth drops open. If you want to understand Islamic Fascism, (or any other screwed up -ism) —> THIS IS THE BOOK.

    20. Rob

      Herbert Marcuse gave us the term “Repressive Tolerance”.
      Repressive Tolerance” is exactly what you will encounter on college campuses when they shout down a conservative speaker. When the conservative calls for tolerance, the left-wing audience will see this as “repressive tolerance” because the speaker is repressing the perceived oppressed people in the audience and therefore has no right to speak. Get it?

      I’m doing as much of this “under the radar” as I can. Right now I’m working on demo clips that I can premiere at conservative film festivals (like libertyfilmfestival.com) for fund-raising.

      As for distribution, that’s where I want to pick Pat’s brain when I have something to show. What I’m thinking of at this time is to complete the film’s prologue and then ask Pat if he would feature it here for Dollard Nation to comment upon. Because of the subject matter and how I will present it, if Drudge were to then link to it the clip will go viral, and then based upon the media Left’s reaction I can gauge how “on-target” I am.

      But make NO mistake about it: We are entering the next revolution, but as Iggy said of Pat in Iraq, “it’ll be fought with cameras instead of guns.”

      Where are the Homos?

      Look around people. Most species on the Earth have, well, fellow species. There are canines and felines and Ursulines…

      Where are the Homos? Why are Homo sapiens the only ones of their species left?

      ‘I think’ is the answer. If you, as an organism, are going to think and become master of your environment you had better damn well have some moral code or you will extinct yourself. My belief is that the other ‘Homos’ didn’t evolve a code and ate or humped or beat themselves to extinction.

      Imagine a pride of lions without natural controls, running loose, killing everything they can catch. Nature has something for they asses.

      Imagine ‘man’ who can wear clothes, fashion tools, make pointy sticks…suddenly nature has less and less control. Okay, now what does control them?

      Without a moral code we become extinct.

      Wow reducing people to organisms. A tu quoque arguement. As if another fallacy was necessary.

      Dollard Nation is one place where people are perfectly able to think for themselves, mainly because they don’t buy relativist pedagogy.

      But on the whole, Dollards seek after objective truth which lends itself to metaphysical certitude instead of the crap preaxched by leftists, relativists and other assorted sellers of impotent cosmology.

      In short, they don’t need anyone to teach them how reason out a solution. Dollardism is all about inerrant perspicuity, not the syncretic nilhism of intellectual dolts with their useless credentialisms and bogus theories.

      That’s a bit rough, don’t you think? Tim merely set forth a proposition that invites discussion, not your ad hominem bordering on non sequiter. Re-read your own reply, for it frankly is the one illustrating a Tu quoque.

      (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tu_quoque)

      Tim appears to be trying to reason out an hypothesis to a set of data he has observed, and has chosen this forum to do so in order to solicit insights he may not possess. This is a healthy way of seeking “objective truth,” as you call it, and to which I’m certain you’ll agree. But the seeming condescension in your post only serves to discourage him — and others — from doing so in the future. We all lose if this happens.

      A little more graciousness might suit you.

      No. it wouldn’t. I’m not here to be gracious dude. I make my points same as everyone else. I could give two shits whether or not someone agrees or disagrees with my essays or thesis.

      I’ll continue to make my points as I see fit; and call them like I see em. Same as you will, I’m sure.

      But in my old profession (Infantry) graciousness is for fags dude. I’d much rather fight.

      Really?
      Why?
      Just any moral code?
