According to Lind, Horkheimer and Adorno later move to Hollywood. I had also heard of a Berkeley, CA connection as well .Ain't that Special!!
This article highlights a very significant historical gathering.
The great proletarian revolution of 1917 turned out to be a bust. It didn't spread worldwide. What to do, how to explain? The great Marxist minds gathered to figger out how to apologize and how to conspire and explain why their grand intellectual Marxist utopianism failed to take over the world.
They decided that capitalism and free enterprise was "ingrained" in western "culture". The culture would have to be changed.
Hillary Clinton, in answering a question about socialized medicine, specifically, it is not human nature to provide for every medical contingency said, "Well, we'll have to change human nature."
This is exactly what the Frankfurt School proposed to do over time, change western culture.
Freudian psychology (guilt trips)targets rich capitalists, Montessori Schools, Rudolf Steiner Schools, and other German, Marxist based education systems, were a big result.
The topic of the article is Political Correctness, but it should be a wake up call to those who have not delved very deeply into the nefarious and sinister workings of the Marxists who have never quit.
How would you like to have been a German Marxist intellectual who has his theory of world wide revolution get debunked? How would you like to have been born in Russia and brought up in nothing but Marxism for 70 years and one day Russia is kaput, everything you were ever taught is debunked. Do you think Putin wakes up one day and says "I was wrong all my life"? No. The commies are alive and well.
It would do all Americans well to persue an examination of this insidious cultural virus.
I ask Freepers to follow some of the links presented on this thread. The commies are alive and well.
