Danny and Derek welcome intellectual historian A.J.A. Woods to the show to talk about the history of the “cultural Marxism” conspiracy theory. They discuss the Frankfurt School, Lyndon LaRouche’s conspiracy theories, William S. Lind and the New Right, antisemitism, the Tea Party, Gamergate and the alt-right, the rise of anti-woke politics, and the use of “cultural Marxism” to justify cuts to public services.
Grab your copy of A.J.A.’s book The Cultural Marxism Conspiracy.
