Deconstructing Marxist Critical Theory

For those of you who haven't been formally introduced to the sociological doomsday weapon of the 20th century, critical theory is an approach to analyzing society not for the purpose of understanding it, but for the purpose of transforming it by undermining its existing institutions. The hard work of understanding how and why people do things is unnecessary if your goal is merely to take a sledgehammer to the machinery. Critical theory is the invention of the Marxist Frankfurt School of the 1930s, so, as one might expect, it reinterprets everything it looks at through a Marxist (or neo-Marxist) lens. The women's studies, racial studies, and gender studies curricula found in almost every university in the West are the direct products of the more general critical theory program. Many things that end in "theory" (e.g., deconstruction theory, queer theory) are also critical theory's progeny.

The connection between critical theory and Marxism is neither disputable nor often denied. The discipline's formulators (Max Horkheimer, Herbert Marcuse, Walter Benjamin, et al.) were all self-identified Marxists teaching in an avowedly Marxist school. Modern academic proponents of critical theory and its descendants do not go to any great lengths to deny either the discipline's origins or their own fundamentally Marxist intentions. Only the mainstream media, renowned for denying the existence of gorillas discovered in plain sight, deny that the echoes they make in their echo chambers have a distinctly German socialist accent.

In our deconstruction of this leftist tool, let's begin with an examination of...

REPORT: David Brock Nonprofit Failed To Disclose $200,000 It Gave Lisa Bloom Law Firm To Pay For Trump Accusations

Left-wing group American Bridge failed to disclose the $200,000 it paid to help fund public sexual misconduct allegations against Donald Trump, according to the New York Times‘ Ken Vogel.

According to Vogel, the David Brock-affiliated nonprofit did not disclose the six-figure sum it paid to Lisa Bloom’s law firm on its 2016 tax return:

Two days ago, Vogel confirmed GotNews’ November 3rd, 2016 scoop that Democrats paid over half a million dollars to arrange the sexual misconduct allegations against then-candidate Trump.

Vogel’s story implicated Bloom and her mother, Gloria Allred, as key liberals looking to weaponize sexual harassment allegations against Republicans. It also named Brock and top Clinton ally Susie Tompkins Buell as key financial supporters of...

Mueller’s Grand Jury in Russia Probe Looks Like Central Casting for BLM in Berkeley

According to a witness, Robert Mueller, the special counsel in the Russia probe, has stacked his grand jury with what the source describes as those attending a “Bernie Sanders rally,” Page Six reported.

The witness said the grand jury in the Russia-Trump probe was stacked with Bernie-types with two wearing “peace t-shirts”.

“The grand jury room looks like a Bernie Sanders rally,” the witness said. “Maybe they found these jurors in central casting, or at a Black Lives Matter rally in Berkeley,” said the witness.

“There was only one white male in the room, and he was a prosecutor,” said the source.

The person said of 20 jurors, 11 are African-American.

That’s D.C.! And that’s why Mueller filed in D.C.!

“That room isn’t a room where POTUS gets a fair shake,” said the source.

Once Manipulated by Obama Administration on Iran, Media Still Peddles Wrong Narrative

Dramatic images of the protests rocking Iran should be a reminder of how good we have it in the United States and how easy it is to lose perspective.

In America, a “war on women” is defined by progressives as failing to force nuns to pay for birth control. In Iran, a woman can be punished for not wearing a hijab and a man can be brutally executed for being gay.

While the left has a penchant for accusing America of oppression while excusing foreign malfeasance, its refusal to criticize Iran still stands out.

CNN oddly defined the movement as “pro-government protests,” before issuing a correction.

The New York Times’ Tehran bureau chief, Thomas Erdbrink, reported on New Year’s Day that the protests were ongoing as the Iranian people “ignored calls for calm,” as if the movement were driven simply by a few rowdy troublemakers instead of having larger political implications for a tyrannical government.
Many have compared Erdbrink’s reporting to the actions of the Times’ infamous Moscow bureau chief, Walter Duranty, who denied the communists’ forced famine in Ukraine in the 1930s that killed millions of people.
After this week of nonstop pro-regime propaganda, it's settled. @ThomasErdbrink will be remembered as the progeny of Walter Duranty. One hopes the regime he props up will meet the same fate as the Soviet Union, too.https://twitter.com/nytimes/status/947901753982377984 
In November, Erdbrink reported that Iranians had “united” in opposition to Trump and Saudi Arabia.

Clearly, they weren’t.

While the nature of the decentralized group of protests remains somewhat clouded, Jim Phillips, Heritage Foundation senior research fellow for Middle Eastern affairs, explained in The Daily Signal how continuing corruption under Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, a sudden surge in food prices, and importantly, the repressive Islamist ideology of the powers that be, have contributed to the toxic stew of resentment.

“We don’t want an Islamic Republic,” “Down with Hezbollah,” and “Death to the dictator” are reportedly common chants by protesters.

The fact is that there is deep discontent with the Islamist theocracy that has ruled the country since the 1979 revolution and many are now willing to risk....
