What does everyone think of this article? I was just wondering(:

[natchina]

Well, I am a socialist myself. Bu it's disturbing that this woman wants the country to be run by 'cultural Marxism'


Extremism of all forms should be condemned. Not just far right extremism.

[Martyn*]

Modernity means we live without illusions but do not become disillusioned.

Who wrote this drivel?

[najinaji]

She makes some interesting points, but:

I wish that everything really was run by "cultural Marxists".

And she doesn't think it is already...??

Wut. Does she sympathise with him or not?

Surely not everyone who feels unheard or uncomfortable is an EDL headcase or will engage in a Breivik-style jihad. But we do need to listen to our fellow citizens instead of preaching this tired doctrine of cultures all fitting together in a beautiful mosaic. Multiculturalism too often means a kind of sampling, both musically and gastronomically, which is lovely for the bourgeoisie but leaves behind a huge and indeed ethnically diverse underclass who do not yearn for modernity and indeed oppose it. This is why we all keep talking about culture because we will not talk about class in a globalised economy. Modernity means we live without illusions but do not become disillusioned. Let's discuss these illusions instead of wishing them away. This is cultural Marxism for you. This is the very thing Breivik feared.

She does not 'sympathize' with him, but understands what pushes him so far.
