AKA Cultural Marxism
Breivik and his fight against cultural Marxism
When used academically, cultural Marxism describes a discourse which as its roots in the Frankfurt School, which in short tries to condemn industrialization and mass capitalistic production. However, when used nowadays, cultural Marxism is more commonly viewed as a conspiracy theory reflecting the ideology of the Frankfurt School. This notion, in parallel with the idea of Political Correctness, started to be circulated since the early 1990s and sees cultural Marxism as a threat to modern (conservatively established) western culture. The essay New Dark Age: Frankfurt School and Political Correctness (1992) by Michael Minnicino gave rise to the definition of cultural Marxism and political correctness that is used today.
Similarly, the protagonist of this essay, Breivik, in his massive manifesto 2083: A European Declaration of Independence also touches upon the parallelism between cultural Marxism and political correctness in his rant against Cultural Marxists and the social elite they allegedly dominate. Thus, starting from Breivik, we attempt to trace the communities of anti-Cultural Marxism before and after his mass murders and the publication of the manifesto, in order to critically examine his positioning as a “Lone Wolf”. The line of thinking we will use, in order to support our main argument is that of the individual and online/offline communities.
Undoubtedly, Breivik’s ideology rests upon other right wingers and anti-cultural Marxists who have inspired him to challenge “hypocritical” politicians and intellectuals. Yet, at the same time, the manifesto as a repository of his ideas also becomes a useful reference for his followers or other would-be extremists to join the war against cultural Marxism.
