	Cultural Leftism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cultural Leftism (a term whose very value is disputed) is an intellectual and cultural leftist tendency that originated in Europe in the inter-war period under the Great Depression (1920's and 30's.)
		It is considered as a renewal of the radicalism of Georg Brandes and Friedrich Nietzsche, among others, and is associated with a diverse catalogue of intellectuals, architects, artists, writers and politicians, who tended, in various and even contradictory ways, to resist the status quo and social and cultural conventions.
		The cultural radicals settled the score with the established norms and encouraged new ideas and perspectives.

		Leftism is rocking back on its heels after a century of victories, which began with the Communist murdering spree of 1917.
		Cultural leftism's key precept - that all cultures are "equal" - is under siege in both America and Europe, as people start to realize that Islam is not like Christianity and that sharia is inferior to Western Democracy.
		Cultural leftism maintains that all cultures are equal, and that it is illegitimate to judge the culture of premodern savages and Islamic theocrats "inferior" to that of Western civilization.

		Leftism has become wordplay — a refuge for bourgeois intellectuals guilty about their comfort and privilege.
		A strong, articulate Left could have roused public resistance to the Marie Antoinette corporate culture of the past 15 years, which have climaxed in recent revelations of monumental fraud.
		The most radical task facing contemporary leftism is a purgation and reclamation of its own rhetoric.

	Georg Brandes -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
		According to Brandes, literature should be an organ "of the great thoughts of liberty and the progress of humanity." His literary goals were shared by many authors, among them the Norwegian dramatist (Realistic Norwegian author who wrote plays on social and political themes (1828-1906)) Henrik Ibsen.
		Georg Brandes is widely understood to have inspired the intellectual leftist movement of the inter-war period known as (additional info and facts about Cultural Leftism) Cultural Leftism.
		From this, however, his maturer taste soon turned to (The rational investigation of questions about existence and knowledge and ethics) philosophy and ((art) the branch of philosophy dealing with beauty and taste (emphasizing the evaluative criteria that are applied to art)) aesthetics.

	Monthly Review: Writing from the Left: New Essays on Radical Culture and Politics. - book reviews
		The culture and politics he addresses in the present collection are mainly those of the U.S. Communist Party and various American writers linked to the Party between the early 1930s and the late 1950s, the era of Stalin.
		If I had to cite one "danger" for radical and socialist intellectuals and cultural workers that has cropped up repeatedly in my study of the past, and that is therefore quite likely to be the "Achilles' heel" of any future left, it is the recurrent tendency to misunderstand the indispensability of socialist organization.
		Indeed, the fact that so many of the most extraordinary U.S. writers felt, for longer or shorter amounts of time, that the ideals of Communism and the organized Communist movement held out the best hope for humanity ought to be understood as an augmentation, complication, and enrichment of their literary lives.

	The Self-Loathing Generation
		Political correctness, cultural relativism, feminism, the smear of religion, and absolute equality are all norms of the modern liberal society.
		Therefore, the State creation of a special youth culture based on collective behaviors made children more independent from their parents, and fostered an identity crisis that found our youth as intellectual wards of the State.
		Some of this youth culture is just a diseased, pseudo-individualism they will define as individualism as they deconstruct culture to suit their own exigencies.

	Judith Butler - Hannah Arendt Professor of Philosophy - Resources
		No, I place myself in a vividly decentered way in a world with others, who are their own centers, and which I must understand to live socially, to live democratically, to live in a polity, is always to in some sense be displaced by the subject.
		Others have an investment in historical and cultural archives from Eastern Europe or from the Holocaust, or in forms of labour activism, civil rights struggles and social justice that are thoroughly secular, and exist in relative independence from the question of Israel.
		I think it has to deal with cultural translation: how we come across what it means to learn not just another language, but another political idiom, how people organize, how they function politically, how they make their claims.

	How the 1964 Civil Rights Act made racial group entitlements inevitable
		Further, if these new rules and arrangements were morally right, then the previous social order, which tacitly recognized the importance of race and culture and greatly admired the historic achievements of the white race as the creators of that culture, had been horribly, inhumanly, and indefensibly wrong.
		Under the impact of such phenomena as cultural leftism, mass immigration, and the group rights revolution, the white American majority lost the sense of its moral legitimacy to lead, while, at the same time, it stopped standing for individual equality under the law.
		Liberalism and leftism are unable to supply those ideals, which come from cultural, constitutional, and transcendent sources.

		In order to put your high culture on the air waves in the United States and take the low culture out this would most likely require some form of government action in my opinion.
		Of course if you are referring to the government being in essence our king and the lesser players being our cultural institutions then I would agree that this is precisely how cultural leftism on the Gramsci model became so prevalent in the west.
		The cultural egalitarians took a long march through our social institutions and once captured, our king, which what I would describe as our government fell right into their hands.

		For these reasons, this course, insofar as it wants to present background material and readings in cultural studies, should properly be considered introductory.
		Rhetoric and Composition has been strongly influenced by cultural studies, and the last part of the course will examine how aspects of cultural studies apply to writing and writing pedagogy.

		Leftism is a knee-jerk response to the problems of the world, and is based on the fallacy that we can bring about utopia through the dictatorial fiat of the state.

		For cultural homogeneity you should consult the civil rights laws, which require all significant public institutions to be equally hospitable to members of all cultures and thus demand that no particular culture have authority anywhere.
		The necessary consequence of the practical public abolition of all particular cultures is cultural homogeneity.
		To deprive a culture of public authority is to abolish it, although bits and pieces may hang on as personal quirks.

		There is a massive cultural double standard here that is probably linked to our lizard brain and its inherent respect for authority and fear of dissent and dissenters.
		CULTURAL leftism is an ineffective strategy for the Democrats.
		The thing that kills me about the Right's hostility for the cultural policy is that it seems to me that it represents a very Christian practice and the exercise of the generosity that is the defining feature of the church, at least by my naive reckoning.

		Though for forty years the multiculturalists have insisted that every culture is unique and inheres distinctiveness, multiculturalists have suddenly become monoculturalists insisting that Islam is but Judaism and Christianity in a headscarf.
		Here again, the cultural marxists have been successful in labeling as “ chauvinistic” those in love with our specific American heritage and denying that ours is a culture and nation founded on and made prosperous because of a specific religious ethos: the Judeo-Christian.
		The longer political correctness prevails in our culture, the longer will be this war, for cultural Leftism is the single greatest impediment to our victory.

		Thailand (with Laos), although seeking and accepting a diploma from China for its ruler as a king (wang), nevertheless is largely a sub-Indian rather than a sub-Chinese culture, with Theravada Buddhism and a Sanskrit-derived alphabet.
		The Vietnamese revolutionaries, indeed, had learned their Leftism well in France itself; and Americian support alone, especially in the 1940's or 50's, would not have persuaded anyone that command economics and a police state were not good ideas.
		Tibetan Buddhism would always display a bit of syncretism with the native animist religion, Bön, and the form of Buddhism itself is a little unusual, since it is the late, Tantric, Vajrayâna Buddhism of India (from missionaries Padmasambhava, Santarakshita, and Kamalashila).

	Dissecting Leftism -- By John Ray
		The 20th century was broadly a century of ever-advancing Leftism and we live at the end of that process.
		There can of course be many reasons for people joining such a broad church as Leftism but I still like my explanation better -- that most Leftists are motivated by ego needs -- a strong need for power and self-aggrandisement.
		I have expanded my argument on how it is that Leftism and nationalism are far from incompatible in my forthcoming article on Mussolini and, for convenience, I reproduce that section of my forthcoming paper here.

		Liberals believe in government control and limits on choice as means of guaranteeing a minimum level of financial prosperity for some.
		Conservatives believe that freedom and individual choice, in the absence of government coercion, are the key ingredients to financial, cultural, and moral prosperity.
		For example, conservatives oppose a liberal welfare state not because it squanders resources on those that are dependent, but because it creates dependency in the first place.

		That the culture of American business has penetrated Europe is most visible in the obsessions — and the very language — of businessmen, even those most skeptical of American institutions.
		That is, the strong value judgments are all at the cultural level d’Iribarne describes, and one cannot claim that his capitalism is less “capitalist” than the American variant.

		So if Z magazine/web site and South End Press were considered as one left business entitity, we would be talking about a business that takes in about $1.7 million a year from the cultural leftism market.

	Musings of a Reformed Catholic
		Leftism, like all human sin and rebellion, is the road to nihilism.
		However, the fact is that the neoconservative foreign policy as presently embodied in Iraq is itself the result of leftism (what the anarchist writer Keith Preston noted as "left-deviationism") perculating into contemporary conservatism through that conservatism being hijacked by neoconservatism (which is right-liberalism, i.e., the progressive liberalism of Wilson, FDR, and Truman).
		Nonetheless, in the world in which we find ourselves, nation-states are one of the last bulwarks against a globalism that is bent on destroying all distinctions between man and man (to say nothing of man and woman and man and beast).
