Just 5 minutes is enough to understand the present chaotic situation.
This is a really good summary .Just take 5mins and listen. ' Know thy enemy '.
I don't agree Darwin wasn't a contributing factor . Marx declared Darwinism gave a tremendous boost to the revolution . Darwin himself however did not reciprocate . He didn't support Marxism .
Cultural Marxism is based on neo-Marxism which came long after the days of Marx and Darwin.
The early Marxists including Marx himself were initially enthusiastic about the Darwinian conceptual framework but had serious qualms about the role of competition. Stalin rejected Darwinian evolution outright for that reason and his henchman Lysenko compounded this with a rejection of Mendelian genetics (he said it was 'bourgeois') and hence the synthetic evolutionary framework. For about 3 decades, Soviet science was lumbered with the politically approved fallacy of Lamarckian evolution (based on the demonstrable absurdity that characteristics acquired during an organism's lifetime are passed on to its offspring).
Cultural Marxism is an ideology that sits far more comfortably with the humanities and social sciences than with the biosciences.
