I've had several topics deleted on subjects ranging from Liberals to Officers because people were offended, as cultural marxists tend to be when confronted. Yet, there is offensive content against christians all over the place. Has anyone else had this issue?

SSG Kevin McCulley I've never had it happen on RallyPoint. I make sure that try to follow the rules of engagement as closely as possible when making posting a discussion or making a reply. I try to be very respectful in my replies and discussions. If something is said that I don't like or there is a post I have no feedback for or I don't know the subject I prefessionally move on and avoid any type of confrontation!

SSG Kevin McCulley I would pose that question directly to one of the Star Admins for further clarification. By the way I wasn't trying to be smart when I sent you all the rules from RallyPoint. I truly didn't know whether you had a chance to see them. Hope that helped and you get an answers to that particular question.

What in hell is "Cultural Marxism"?

"Marxism" a.k.a. "Communism" is an economic philosophy and/or a method of historical analysis.

SSG Kevin McCulley - Staff; Thank you.

Unfortunately this looks like it means that we also have to deal with "Cultural Capitalism" as some sort of "Grand Conspiracy" as well.

What you are actually seeing is analogous to "The Protestant Reformation" in which the less than top level of the rich and powerful, utilizing large numbers of the "disenchanted", attempted to implement their "vision of society" in the face of the entrenched opposition of the rich and powerful (who had managed to convince a high percentage of the population that the existing society was "God's Natural Order Of Things") who were reaping the vast majority of the benefits of the "existing order". Where they succeeded, they managed to supplant the previous "natural governing class" and ensure that they were the ones who were reaping the vast majority of the benefits of the "New Existing Order".

(It's also analogous to the American Revolution where "Cultural Americanism" was used by the less than top level of the rich and powerful to toss out the top level of the rich and powerful and thus bring most of the prosperity and democratic freedoms to themselves - but you don't want to hear that.)

In short, you probably can't have a society that DOESN'T have "Schelling Points" and those "Schelling Points" are likely to be clustered around "essential rights and freedoms" (with the "essential" being related to "essential to the type of society desired" and having nothing whatsoever to do with "natural rights" or being "Given By God").

Sir, cultural capitalism is the native culture of this land. I wouldn't have such a problem with the marxists if they were at least honest about it. I see them is evil and Machiavellian in there acts. They do not play by the rules and thus do not deserve their protections. I happen rather to like living in a free society where I the master of my fate. They happen to like to use those freedoms to destroy it. I am NOT a religious person by any measure of the word but I do look at the Constitution as an eloquent solution to mankind's failings. Of course being honorable men our founders never foresaw the collusion between the holders of the checks and balances that could be used to create a tyranny we have today. We have mechanisms for change implanted in our founding documents and if you do not use these methods as prescribed your acts are nefarious and suspect.

SSG Kevin McCulley - Staff; Prior to the American Revolution, "Cultural Monarchy" was the "native" culture of America.

In any society you will always have the "next to top" layer attempting to convince the layers below them that the "top" layer (which always regards itself as the "natural governing class") ought to be tossed out - for the benefit of the layers 3 through n, of course - and that the "nest to top" layer should really be in charge. If they fail, they are looked on as criminals and traitors. If they succeed, it doesn't take them long to realize that THEY are REALLY the "natural governing class". At which point the cycle starts all over again.

The "Marxists" (read as "theoreticians and idealists") don't worry me anywhere near as much as the "Stalinists" (read as "implementers of dictatorship under the guise of the theory of freedom") do.

It's symptomatic of our PC society, which takes offense to anything and everything they can.
