The Cultural Marxism Conspiracy: Why the Right Blames the Frankfurt School for the Decline of the West (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781804296967)

A definitive history of the 'Cultural Marxism' conspiracy theory.

'Cultural Marxism' is one of the far-right's favorite buzzwords - but what does this term mean and where did it come from?

This book uncovers the bizarre story of the cult leaders, right-wing intellectuals, neo-Nazi terrorists, and now politicians in the White House who believe that 'Cultural Marxists' are conspiring to trigger the demise of modern civilization. In this deeply researched account, Woods explains how the Frankfurt School group of German thinkers were recast as the orchestrators of a plot to destroy the West. Instead of simply debunking this conspiracy theory, Woods offers a sharp analysis and critique of the political movements who have advanced this damaging idea. Only when we identify the specific practices and agendas of those who promote the 'Cultural Marxism' conspiracy theory can we hope to neutralize its repressive and often fatal consequences. This is an essential book for anyone who wants to understand the ideological currents that are shaping right-wing politics in the 21st century.
