Cultural Marxism: The Corruption of America
Karl Marx’s anti-capitalist principles are still alive and well in America. That’s the opening premise of the documentary “Cultural Marxism: Corruption in America,” a riveting exploration of the deep divisions that exist in modern Western society. According to the film, these divides were created by the infiltration of Marxist ideals into the fabric of American culture, leading to the erosion of traditional Christian values that have long defined the country’s identity.
The film appeals to audiences who have been acidified by the country’s direction in recent decades and yearn for a return to the last dominant way of life before the sexual revolution of the 1960s. The filmmakers see this as a time in history when culture began to reject the values of previous generations, ushering in a ubiquitous anti-establishment movement. This new mentality is largely driven by America’s disadvantaged youth.
With the help of a series of interviewees, including former presidential candidates Ron Paul and Pat Buchanan, the film attempts to unravel the ways in which this rebellion was made possible. She places much of the blame on the “Frankfurt School” and Marxist theorist/professor Antonio Gramsci. He believed that the de-Christianization of the West was orderly and could only be achieved by patiently penetrating its most valuable institutions.
Evidence of the success of his mission, according to the point of view presented in the film, can be found in the destruction of the family unit, the marginalization of religion, and the wildly shaky sexual morality. When these basic principles are violated, every aspect of society’s functioning becomes vulnerable, including the country’s military strength, banking system, gun protection, and the sanctity of the Constitution itself.
Cultural Marxism: Corruption in America casts a contemptuous light on this era of political correctness and the leftists, the film says, are working hard to spread it. Consistent with its portrayal of a deeply divided society, the film may divide audiences of different political beliefs. Regardless, it provides a clearly presented and clearly articulated perspective.
