Big Boobs, Blonde Hair and Blue Eyes and White Skin = Progressive Insanity

In any case, that paper makes it clear that “Cultural Marxism”, as Douglas Kellner uses the term, is a version of culture studies that looks at cultural issues through a Marxist paradigm. It isn’t about Marx’s influence on culture--it’s about how you analyze what’s going on. Just as Das Kapital is an analysis of Capitalism from a Marxist perspective, Cultural Marxism is the study of culture from a Marxist perspective.

To an extent you're right, but, the way you're saying it, leads me to think you have come away with a narrow view of what constitutes "culture" from the perspective of a Marxist. I would stick my neck out and say the most important book written on Marxism is this book, Marxism and Totality: The adventures of a Concept from Lukacs to Habermas by Martin Jay.

I bought and read this book cover-to-cover twenty years it ago (per Amazon), and the point is, while I don't remember a whole lot, and I can't say my comprehension was terribly great even as I read it, I do believe I understood enough to say good luck! if you think you're going to find continuity between what you understand from Marx's theory of social movements and what constitutes Marxism in modern academia. It's one of those situations where phenomena and the brand have far outgrown the man, Karl Marx. Marxism may stand in relation to Marx about as much as Christianity stands in relation to Jesus.

For example, in the introduction of the first movement of Beethoven's Seventh Symphony the second theme (in C-major) gets its true meaning only from the context. Only through the whole does it acquire its particular lyrical and expressive quality that is, a whole built up of its very contrast with the cantus firmus like character of the first theme. Taken in isolation the second theme would be disrobed to insignificance. Another example may be found in the beginning of the recapitulation over the pedal point of the first movement of Beethoven's 'Appassionata'. By following the preceding outburst it achieves the utmost dramatic momentum. By omitting the exposition and development and starting with this repetition, all is lost.

So, like Trump supporters singing and dancing to Rage Against the Machine’s “Killing in the name?”

But, the thing is, that feeling against political correctness and identity politics did/does exist. Should we pretend that it did not just because Trump is a con artist? In other words, should we lie to ourselves and others about how numerous people felt/feel about political correctness and identity politics?

I absolutely agree that those feelings ‘against political correctness and identity politics’ did and do exist on the right-hand side of the political fence, as well as opposing viewpoints on the left.

A significant difference between right and left, though, can be seen with the simple example of email signatures and pronouns. When examining the ‘feelings’ of both sides, the left-hand side attempts to define itself with a particular personal label according to their own sense of self, whereas the right-hand side attempts to define the other in a way that is convenient to only themselves.

The difference would be interesting to explore. Maybe that’s a subject for a different thread, though.

Analytics, perhaps you should consider adopting a name that aligns more closely with your posts, something like "Denier of Wokeism." It seems more fitting given that your analyses often miss the mark.

The primary objective of Marxism is to establish a society without classes, founded on the collective ownership of the means of production. A realm where exploration is eliminated and inequality is eradicated. This is accomplished through the dismantling of capitalism. Ultimately, Marxism will progress to socialism and eventually to communism, where resources are allocated based on need.

It is clear that Marxism plays a role in the contemporary Democratic Party. The party includes the Democrat socialist faction, a communist candidate for Mayor of New York City, and Omar Fateh campaigning for Mayor of Minneapolis, also a communist. In 2025, two of the most notable Democrats are Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Bernie Sanders, both of whom identify as socialists. It is clear which party seeks to eliminate capitalism.

The Sydney Sweeney ad serves as a notable illustration of the reactions from the woke Marxist who are concerned about the decline of their progressive agenda. Trump has largely dismantled the woke agenda, leaving the blue-haired Marxists in a state of panic.

They seem at a loss when a blue-eyed white girl with big boobs is featured in an ad campaign that boosts the company's stock by 20%. The advertisement exemplifies capitalism at its peak and serves as a testament to the waning influence of the woke agenda, largely due to Trump's impact.

I find it quite amusing that progressive Marxists like Analytics, Canpakes, Dr. CamnPP, Bishop Schmo, and a few others on this board support the far-left Marxist agenda, as it closely resembles the ultimate goal of the brethren of the Mormon church.

Which one?

Only you seem preoccupied with this. : D

I'm pretty sure this is the case. I have yet to read Hound's OP. I only know about the ad because the Dumb Money guy did an entire episode on it. He bought in after the ad sparked controversy and plans to sell if it runs up before earnings. He also denounced the theory from a presumed insider that the ad was targeted towards right-wing men. (How many pairs of jeans has Hound bought since the ad released?)

He pointed out that the ad is a reboot of an ad with Brooke Shields trying to put on jeans from 1980 and making the same joke. I'd say rebooting the Brooke Shields ad is the sole explanation. I'm pretty sure that the Hounds of the world saw the opportunity first, ran with it, and the woke mob is primarily reacting to them. This is really what I believe to be true about our culture wars in general, and it's the main fuel for the entire right-wing movement. Hound isn't any closer to knowing what a tariff is. It's also a good distraction from the Epstein problem they caused for themselves.

Speaking of Epstein and right-wing perverts, I'll bet far more right-wing men are embolden to think that they have a chance with Sweeney because of perceived similar politics than will be driven to buy into the brand. While she perhaps has made some enemies on the left, my money is that a bigger threat will be the perverts on the right who make her the object of their worship, and who think that she will understand them.

It may be worth pointing out to Hound that Brooke Shields is independent, and lol, had to turn down a particular creep in chief who hit on her in the 90s, and then said creep subsequently threatened her for not going out with him. lol, you and Markk and Ceebs, what a crew! You sure know how to pick your manly role models. Also to Hound: Sweeney is a pretty girl, no doubt about it, but Brooke Shields at the same age? Good luck with that! (And good luck explaining yourself to the cops when you find yourself at the door of her residence one day)

Hound claims to be quite old, so the creepy old man fascination with young women who wouldn’t touch him - unless forced to do so while trapped on a plane - just kind of fits.

You claim to be quite a woman, right?

I’m a chatbot, Hound. Take your pick. : D

If I recall correctly, though, you are unable to define what a woman is, anyway.
