      1. Inspired by @CherylRofer, I have a few thoughts on "Cultural Marxism," Marcuse, John Wayne, the John Birch Society & anti-Semitism.https://twitter.com/CherylRofer/status/895815864120782850 …

      I'm reading the Higgins memo. Anyone got a definition of cultural Marxism? http://foreignpolicy.com/2017/08/10/heres-the-memo-that-blew-up-the-nsc/amp/ …

      2. So goobers in the Trump administration are worried about "Cultural Marxism" in the "Deep State" opposing Trump. http://foreignpolicy.com/2017/08/10/heres-the-memo-that-blew-up-the-nsc/amp/ …

      3. So "cultural Marxism" is a big boogeyman on the alt-right: it's the people who are supposedly responsible for creating PC, feminism, etc

      4. The actual historical "cultural Marxists" (or "Western Marxists") were the Frankfurt School: Adorno, Benjamin, Marcuse etc.

      5. Cultural Marxists earned their name because they sought to supplant & update Marx's economic system with recognition of cultural forces.

      6. Frankfurt School marginalized for decades (at odds with both Stalinism of East & capitalism of West) but enjoyed 1960s resurgence

      7. For a variety of reasons Marcuse was most popular Frankfurt School figure in New Left (live in CA, Angela Davis student, wrote about sex)

      8. By coincidence Marcuse was in France in 1968 and incorrectly portrayed by press as major instigator.

      9. The conspiracy minded John Birch Society picked up on idea of Marcuse as evil masterminded & made it part of their lore.

      10. John Wayne was a Bircher and in Playboy interview of May 1971 repeats idea of Marcuse as root of all New Left evil.pic.twitter.com/POEkrvcG60

      11. Lore about Marcuse became a kind of common sense on the right, partly because it fit existing anti-Semitic tropes.

          Okay. I never was much interested in what the right had to say about Marcuse.

          12. Anti-semitic trope: Jewish masterminds stir up the nonwhites against white culture: far right plugged Marcuse & Angela Davis into mythos

          13. Should be said this whole view of "cultural Marxism" as root of feminism, anti-racism, PC etc is radically at odds with history

          Did Karl Popper have a role in spreading anti-Marcuse animus among conservatives?
