Equality of opportunity is a good thing - equality of outcomes is exactly the sort of creeping socialism that our Founding Fathers warned us against. A lot of the cultural Marxist agendas being promoted in recent years are based on bad data and slanted measurements (e.g. the "pay gap" between men and women, which disappears when you control for hours worked, age, and other important variables). Such agendas are expli…

Can you please explain what a "cultural Marxist" is without referencing any far-right literature?

By "cultural marxist", I'm referring to the pastiche of identity politics, political correctness, and emergent legislation that has been driving a lot of the social change in recent years. Driving out the Judeo-Christian roots of Western society and replacing it with a pastiche of socialism and enforced multiculturalism.

A cultural Marxist is a person who supports such developments.

Bill Lind has some good commentary on the subject: http://www.academia.org/the-origins-of-political-correctness...

Now I'm going to need to see a lot of sources about this, because multiple societies have been announcing that multiculturalism Just Doesn't Work for them, and there has not been even a pastiche of socialism around since the '90s or so.

Here's another reference: http://www.vdare.com/articles/yes-virginia-there-is-a-cultur...

The term is really just a shorthand reference to the kind of social, political, and ideological ideas that a "progressive" university student absorbs (or is expected to absorb) during the course of his or her 4+ years in a contemporary American university.

I explicitly asked for sources that are not on the far-right. The thing about the far-right versus academia is that I've got a fairly decent prior on the far-right rationalizing its ideological views, and a fairly decent prior on academia publishing things based on epistemic rigor rather than ideology.

And no, the Frankfurt School are not "cultural Marxists". This is a term nobody has ever applied to himself.

No. Genocide is when a race is eliminated. In this case it is combined. The genes aren't lost at all.

If every "white" person reproduced only with a "black" person, white people would cease to exist. That is genocide.

The fact to consider that the combination of a white parent and a black parent produces a black child tells me a lot about your racism.

White & black parents do not produce "black" children, they produce non-white children. Eliminating white children is genocide.

You aren't going to find that term used by the people to whom it's typically applied. They will probably use a more specific term like "Critical Race Theory", or "radical feminism", or "social justice".

But there's a continuum of thought between these otherwise distinct concepts, which is where the "cultural Marxism" name comes in, as a unifying tag.
