I have heard a lot of discussion about cultural marxism over the years.

If what I have heard is correct I see it everywhere, but I would like to understand the origin of that concept.

Does anyone know if or where Marx wrote about any of the following:

Family destruction

Cultural demoralization

Intentionally spreading mass confusion

Been a while since I’ve read but I think the Communist Manifesto and Das Kapital cite capitalism as the downfall of all the above.

Thanks. Both books I didn't plan to read, but if I want to understand the arguments I gotta trudge through the shit 😮‍💨

You know one book I read is called "Why Marx was Right". It was kind of a summary of all of his ideas and their arguments for Marxism. I don't think Marx saw a difference between true capitalism and crony capitalism. It highlighted for me the difference between the two. Crony capitalism, to me, is only a few degrees off from Marxist thought. True capitalism, where the free markets are allowed to work ,without interference of the state, is the best economic system IMO.

I reached the same conclusion. I may check that out.

For some reason I feel compelled to really understand the issue from every angle. Exhausting sometimes, but it's been rewarding so far.
