      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.

      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

      14. Feminism, anti-racism etc had roots very different than Frankfurt School. Marcuse's ties to New Left more personal than ideological

      15. The Frankfurt School guys were pretty stuffy European elitists. Adorno hated Jazz & radical students and was super Eurocentric

      16. The alt-right view of "cultural Marxism" is just an updating of this old Birch Society myth.

      17. As with all conspiracy theories, "cultural Marxism" creates convenient foe: foreign Jewish intellectuals are problem. Women & POC dupes

      18. What's interesting is that Trumpists are now connecting "cultural marxism" with "deep state." This is return to Bircher roots.

          19. 1950s/1960s Birchers thought USA gov't infiltrated by communists. Eisenhower was a commie! Not Trumpist replicating this idea.

          Difference: The Birchers never came anywhere close to the White House/sitting on the NSC.
