Will cultural Marxism affect Europe more than economic Marxism?

Corporations or businesses that benefit from cheap labor aren’t that bothered by health, welfare, justice or education costs.

This is from a well respected Danish newspaper: How democratic is Sweden?

But even if the election was as democratic as in the US, I would still feel uncomfortable to vote for a party that is constantly stigmatized in newspapers, radio and tv. Instead I voted for the Moderate Party, mainly because of the property tax which the Socialists/Greens would probably have reintroduced.

I’ve found my first reference to “Cultural Marxism” outside of this thread.

It was sent by Nowegian murderer Anders Behring to all his Facebook friends.

Has ANYBODY given a shit about Karl Marx for the past 100 years? Groucho, yeah. Harpo? Sure. I’ll give you Chico, Zeppo, and even Gummo, but Karl? They dropped him from the act in 1912.

Err, you obviously haven’t been reading other trheads in the Great Debates section lately. There has been considerable discussion of what cultural marxism refers to in this thread.

Particularly, I found this essay quite useful at outlining the intellectual movements that it describes.

I think Breivik has been quite useful in illustrating how “Cultural Marxism” is a term lately acquired and popularized by the Counter-Jihad / Anti-Multiculturalism movements that Breivik belonged to, e.g. the latest iteration of the xenophobe right wing. Arguably contributing to him shooting and killing 80+ norwegian teenagers you might say…

So what’s your opinion, Chen, on Breiviks thoughts on stuff? Did you browse his 1500+ page manifest on Cultural Marxism and other interesting stuff?

Has RaleighRally been heard from since yesterday?

I am disappointed that in my visit to Malmo I completely missed the festivities. Seemed like a pleasant small city. Too effing cold for my taste though, sorry.

Dear Og almighty! Did you know that right-wing American politicians paint Scandinavia as a Marxist hell-hole? My husband and I have a chuckle about the things they say about Scandinavia.

Yeah, how is that working out for them? The well-skilled and educated are sometimes so offended by the rhetoric that they decide to leave too.

There was this other guy who also thought Scandinavians where some of the whitest people in Europe. You may have heard about him.

For the record, my husband is Danish. Our child is fluent in Danish (and two other languages). Our jobs “travel” with us, so we would not be taking jobs from Danes, but adding two new ones to their economy*. We have savings and live reasonably well. I am educated, fluent in several languages, etc. Yet neither of us have any desire to live in Denmark while, as my husband puts it, “the fascists are doing the talking”. Basically he is self-exiled.
*I pay taxes in the US, a country that I haven’t set foot in since I was pregnant with my 6 yo.

I wouldn’t bother. Apparently, he cribbed it from the Unabomber’s manifesto, with some substitution of buzzwords.

There are some interesting bits, though.

I think he’s reading too much into the Tea Party – I don’t recall immigration issues even being mentioned on any of their signs. Certainly it is not mentioned in the “Contract from America,” that’s all about starving the federal beast. The same beast that patrols the borders.

Revolutionary Conservatives ? Isn’t that a contradiction in terms ? Ah yes, I forgot: crazy person.

No, it isn’t, because the definition of “revolutionary” is more definite than that of “conservative.” Looked at one way, Ayatollah Khomeini was a conservative; looked at another way, a radical; but, any way you look at it, a revolutionary.

If you are asking if he’s spoken about the terrorist massacre in Norway, his reaction was to say that the killer looked Asian with dyed hair.

Political “conservationism” has about as much to do with conserving anything as “People” in the title of Communist countries/parties has to do with actual people. Conservatives are people who want to reshape and exploit society, not conserve anything.

I was asking if he’d gone mysteriously silent across the board, coincident with the terrorist’s arrest.

Yeah I think RR is gonna lay quite low considering that the mass murderer basically did it as an anti-immigration and anti-“cultural marxism” statement. (as per his own manifesto)

= environmentalism. Not the same thing as conservatism.

Oops, typo on my part there.

So are all conservatives cut from the same cloth and identical? :rolleyes: That’s like say all socialists from Willy Brandt to Pol Pot are the same.
