In his new book The Death of the West, Patrick J. Buchanan examines
the origin of what he contends is the modern decline of America. He
asserts that while Soviet style Marxism is largely dead, our society
remains enthralled by Cultural Marxism, which is strangling our
freedom, and threatening our future. This threat to our culture and
way of life accelerated to a deadly speed with the establishment, in
1933 at Columbia University, of the Institute for Social Research,
originally called "The Institute for Marxism." This institution
became known as the Frankfort School.
The destructive nature of the Frankfort school, founded in New York
after it 's theoreticians fled there from Frankfort, Germany when
Hitler came to power, is obvious from even a cursory examination of
its primary texts. The four horsemen of the school were music critic
Theodor Adorno, psychologist Erich Fromm, sociologist Wilhelm Reich
and professor Herbert Marcuse. Their ideas, echoing through the halls
of academia and from the ink stained hands of writers and
journalists, would lead to, as Buchanan calls it, the establishment
of today's politically correct catechism.
The original strategy to destroy America, employed by the Frankfort
School, came from Italian Communist Antonio Gramsci who realized that
in order to achieve a Socialist victory, cultural institutions would
have to be infiltrated and subverted. Gramsci realized that America,
steeped in traditions of freedom and liberty, would never to succumb
to a frontal assault and its workers were too busy accumulating
capital to allow themselves to be used as cannon fodder for a bloody
revolution.
The Frankfort School would patent the familiar "Critical Theory"
which was accurately defined by a student as the "essentially
destructive criticism of all the main elements of Western culture,
including Christianity, capitalism, authority, the family,
patriarchy, hierarchy, morality, tradition, sexual restraint,
loyalty, patriotism, nationalism, heredity, ethnocentrism,
convention, and conservatism." Under Critical Theory, anything
emanating from the west is to be libeled and attacked over and over
again while at the same time, anything emerging from a "progressive"
country or group is to be applauded including the murder of over 100
million people. All blame for societal and economic ills are to be
shifted to the west.
The saturating drumbeat of Critical Theory would lead to "Cultural
Pessimism" which is when a person grows to loathe the society, which
nurtured him and provided him unprecedented levels of success. This
describes the attitude of so many leftists living in comfort and
safety yet viewing America, the society that made their lifestyle
possible, with hatred and contempt. I am amazed by the degree in
which both Critical Theory and Cultural Pessimism has been
internalized by all of us.
Erich Fromm's "Escape from Freedom" and Wilhelm Reich's "The Mass
Psychology of Fascism" and "The Sexual Revolution" are central texts
of Critical Theory according to Buchanan, who also calls "The
Authoritarian Personality" by Theodor Adorno the "altarpiece of the
Frankfurt School." Adorno's thesis is that anyone imbued with middle
class, conservative, or Christian values is a racist and a fascist.
Charles Sykes, senior fellow at the Wisconsin Policy Research Center,
says Adorno's book is "an uncompromising indictment of bourgeois
civilization, with the twist that what was considered merely old-
fashioned by previous critics was now declared both fascistic and
psychologically warped." This libelous indictment of the American
people is comparable to Hitler's equally libelous indictment of the
Jews of Europe.
The Frankfurt School introduced the idea of psychological
conditioning as a means of changing the culture to fit their image.
This would largely replace the traditional American approach to
learning which was rational philosophical argument. Buchanan calls
this the root of the "therapeutic state" where "sin is redefined as
sickness, crime becomes anti-social behavior, and the psychiatrist
replaces the priest." To Adorno and his comrades, all Americans who
refused to conform to the new morality were viewed as mentally ill
and in need of treatment. The Soviet Union offers a clear example of
this philosophy in action with it's millions sent to gulags
for "mental" maladies such as "anti-social" attitudes.
The forth horseman, Brandeis professor Herbert Marcuse, was the pied
piper of the sixties as he fostered the development of, as Buchanan
points out, "radical youth, feminists, black militants, homosexuals,
the alienated, the asocial, Third World revolutionaries, all the
angry voices of the persecuted 'victims' of the West." In "Eros and
Civilization" Marcuse encouraged sex and drugs and
introduced "polymorphous perversity" where all moral and cultural
order is rejected. Marcuse coined the slogan "Make love not war" and
was a cult figure on College campuses. His book "One Dimensional Man"
advocates educational dictatorship. He calls for "Repressive
Tolerance" which means "intolerance against movements from the right,
and toleration of movements from the left." When the left speaks of
tolerance, this is what they mean.
The Frankfurt School would mainstream the dicktat of the Moscow
Central Committee laid down in 1943. This declaration, right from the
horse's mouth, illustrates exactly what were up against:
"Members and front organizations must continually embarrass,
discredit and degrade our critics. When obstructionists become too
irritating, label them as fascist, or Nazi or anti-Semitic.The
association will, after enough repetition, become 'fact' in the
public mind."
