"It began a century ago, or even more if you think about it. So the actual operation began in 1922. It was a Soviet Bolshevik operation designed to collapse Germany after World War One. So this is before the rise of Hitler. Germany was defeated. It was divided. It was in a state of severe cultural identity crisis. So the idea was to take Karl Marx, who everybody thinks of as some sort of deranged economist, which he was. But that was the Karl Marx of 1848 when he wrote Das Kapital and The Communist Manifesto. Earlier, Karl Marx of 1843 declared war on culture, Greco-Roman, Judeo-Christian, Western culture with family values, and the father was head of the household and the nuclear family, and a big extended family, and morals and principles and all these things." –J.

@EconomicWarRoom
we're speaking with Dr Michael Waller
who's the author of a new book uh big
Intel and he just shared with me
something I did not know I've always
thought of uh cultural Marxism came into
being because they failed at economic
Marxism but that's not exactly what he
said he said it actually started before
Marx was focused on the cultural side
first and then he moved to the economic
can you ex describe that sure so Europe
in the 1840s was was beset with
revolutionary movements against the
mainly monarch and and you know family
run countries and principalities so Marx
had the idea let's rip apart the culture
you know with the Germany had been had
been you know protestantism you had a
whole revolution in the church uh and
then lots of different Christian
churches springing from that so so Marx
said let's wreck the churches all of
them let's wreck uh observance of of
Jewish religion and custom let's wreck
Western values and all the morals and
and everything that come out of of all
these Greco Roman Hebrew Christian
traditions and declare war on each other
and basically have a civil war of
everybody fighting against each other in
these countries which were multiethnic
you know Empires many of them but even
put individual against individual down
to the families turn children against
their parents well that didn't catch on
so by
1848 there were there were revolutions
going across Europe so he said let's
make this an economic thing with the
Industrial Revolution we'll put the poor
exploited workers the proletariat
against the wealthy Bourgeois overthrow
the system and create a dictatorship of
the
proletariat so if you're a Marxist by
definition you're seeking a some kind of
a dictatorship to come out of what
you're doing the same with the cultural
marxists but because the cultural part
didn't really work when the Bolsheviks
took over Russia in 1917 they did it
through they did it as a German
operation by the way that Lenin and his
group were funded and smuggled into
Russia by the German general staff
during World War I paid by the reich's
bank of Germany to overthrow the then
post zaris de Democratic Socialist
government of kensky to make to get
Russia to make A Separate Peace with
Germany so the Germans could fight uh
the French and the Americans and the
Canadians and British and everybody else
uh on the Western Front so this was all
this all began as a German operation so
then the cult then the Bolsheviks
thought hey we can't replicate this
revolution anymore cu Western societies
don't want this the workers won't rise
up so let's attack the culture wow and
so here we are and they've infiltrated
our government our spy agencies and you
know frankly it looks like they've been
heavily involved in in almost every
Administration I'll exclude Reagan and
and and they were definitely involved in
the Trump Administration not against him
not for him but inside the government
and how do how are we going to fix this
Mike well well first they even got into
the Reagan Administration with the
Department of Education Jimmy Carter
created that as a as a sop to the
National Education Association which has
been pushing cultural Marxism since the
1930s the head of the NAA was working
with the Soviet Comon turn to promote
this and to train the teachers and the
teachers across the country they didn't
know what this was they just wanted the
best methods of teaching and so forth
and they were getting it from a national
Union that they were paying dues for
that they trusted So Reagan set it up to
he promised to abolish the Ed the
Department of Education because he saw
this was a central control overeducation
that was
politicized but you know it ended up not
happening mainly because
neoconservatives who took over the
Department of Education wanted to save
it and so here we are
