单词 | cultural marxism |
释义 | cultural Marxismn. 1. Used depreciatively, chiefly among right-wing commentators: a political agenda advocating radical social reform, said to be promoted within western cultural institutions by liberal or left-wing ideologues intent on eroding traditional social values and imposing a dogmatic form of progressivism on society. Later also more generally: a perceived left-wing bias in social or cultural institutions, characterized as doctrinaire and pernicious.This sense has its origins in the anti-Semitic belief that Jewish intellectuals were behind an attempt to subvert western culture. In quot. 1938 (in the context of fascist ideology), this belief derives from the fact that Karl Marx's family were originally Jewish; in later use it is associated with the fact that the Frankfurt School (see note at sense 2) predominantly comprised Jewish philosophers, many of whom emigrated to the United States. Cultural Marxism is now also used more generally simply to criticize perceived left-wing bias. Owing to the term's history, such use is often regarded as controversial.
