Essentially, Marxism was first an economic theory. Because it was unsuccessful in that domain, it changed its focus, so that modern Marxism now focuses on culture as its target rather than economics. The video makes quite an interesting point about the Marxist "Critical Theory" and how it is used as a weapon to silence and create guilt and thus destroy whatever is its target.
At 6:40, the guy in the video explains how:
- Feminism uses "critical theory" to attack Western civilization's treatment of women, while turning a blind eye to the treatment of women by other cultures throughout history. Thus the economic basis for the treatment of women is ignored, and instead the culture is blamed and attacked.
- Minorities use critical theory to attack Western civilization's treatment of blacks and other minority races, while again turning a blind eye to the treatment of these races by other cultures throughout history. Thus again, the economic basis for slavery is ignored and instead the culture is blamed and attacked.
