The Roots of Western Cultural Decay

Excerpted from “The Birth Of Cultural Marxism: How The ‘Frankfurt School’ Changed America” —

Lukács implemented a policy he titled “cultural terrorism,” which focused on these two objectives. A major part of the policy was to target children’s minds through lectures that encouraged them to deride and reject Christian ethics.
