He's got a mind like an unmade bed

Heh. A cultural Marxist is exasperated about being identified as a cultural Marxist. Claims it is a ridiculous slur because it has been pertinent for so long. From The Alt-Right’s Favorite Meme Is 100 Years Old by Samuel Moyn. Professor of law and history at Yale.

A prolonged rant laced with mischaracterization, misdirection and projection. Pretty much what you would expect of the reality-challenged.

Ann Althouse did the courtesy of reading this nonsense to save others' time. As is often the case, her commenters are far more entertaining and informed than the actual opinion piece.
Cute. Criticism of the philosophy and influence of the Frankfurt school is now anti-Semitic.

Pathetic attempt at denial. Using cultural Marxist cant while claiming cultural Marxism doesn’t exist is approximately as effective as writing a denial of an affair at Hotel X on Hotel X’s stationery.

How many scores of millions does an ideology have to kill, before you can call it toxic? The answer my friend, is blowing in the wind. The answer is blowing in the wind.

"The crudity of thinking among our eminently well-credentialed, the crudity and sheer nuthouse quality of the propaganda they've been churning out, is a wonder to behold."

A other way to put it - He's got a mind like an unmade bed.

It's a good thing Marxism didn't cause "grievous harm in the last century."

What a horrible example of a straw man argument! The author & the NYT should be ashamed!

Interesting to see the writer even acknowledge the influence of Gramsci. In leftist historiography, he's usually "the little man who wasn't there."
