According to their delirious foes, “cultural Marxists” are an unholy alliance of abortionists, feminists, globalists, homosexuals, intellectuals and socialists who have translated the far left’s old campaign to take away people’s privileges from “class struggle” into “identity politics” and multiculturalism. Before he executes the professors, the protagonist of Mr. Lind’s novel expounds on his theory to their faces: “Classical Marxists, where they obtained power, expropriated the bourgeoisie and gave their property to the state,” he says. “Where you obtained power, you expropriated the rights of white men and gave special privileges to feminists, blacks, gays, and the like.” It is on the basis of this parallel that the novel justifies carnage against the “enemies of Christendom” as an act showing that “Western culture” is “recovering its will.”



The wider discourse around cultural Marxism today resembles nothing so much as a version of the Judeobolshevik myth updated for a new age. In the years after the Russian Revolution, fantasists took advantage of the fact that many of its instigators were Jewish to suggest that people could save time by equating Judaism and communism — and kill off both with one blow. As the historian Paul Hanebrink recounts in an unnerving new study, according to the Judeobolshevik myth, the instigators of communism were the Jews as a whole, not some tiny band of thinkers, conniving as a people to bring communist irreligion and revolution worldwide.


 古典的マルクス主義者がブルジョアの資産を収用し、国家に帰属させたように、文化的マルクス主義者は、白人の特権を収奪し、フェミニストや黒人、同性愛者などにも帰属させようとする輩である、と。

ユダヤ・ボルシェビズム神話というのは、、西洋で不当に嫌われていたユダヤ人と共産主義者を抱き合わせ、共産主義者はユダヤ人だ! として共産主義者を駆逐せんとする神話のことらしい。
両方駆逐できて一石二鳥だった、と。

ーーそれはそれで、いいとして、
