The commissars of culture, Gramsci, Lukacs, MarcuSE et al (and other of the
The 1930s Frankfurt School) are noted for their theory of cultural hegemony as the means to
class dominance.
"Cultural Terrorism" was a precursor to what Political
Correctness would later bring to Western European schools.
In the 60s it would be 'French Theorists; Derrida and Foucault who followed this on.
What came about from this Critical Theory were sub-theories which
were intended to chip away at specific elements of the existing culture, there was no longer a 'man' or a 'woman' that was biological essentialism (I can feel your eyes swivelling toward heaven) including "matriarchal theory", "androgyny theory",
"personality theory", "authority theory", "family
theory", "sexuality theory", "racial theory",
"legal theory", and "literary theory". Put into practice,
these theories were to be used to overthrow the prevailing social order and
usher in social revolution and so you have POLITICAL CORRECTNESS.
And the most passive recipients of this Cultural Terrorism were academics and today
Western Universities are in the view of some 'Little Koreas' of induction.
