Before you all send me to /lit/ hear me out, a teacher of mine I remember saying, (she taught/teaches Social Science) that this book (PIC related) called in italian "the need to believe" was a good read on the matter of religion, I got it and was about to, but I am worried, because as I looked into the wikipage of this Erich fella I see that he is Fromm and a prominent member of the Frankfurt school, which made me wary.

Is there anything to worry about the philosophers of that school /his/?

Tldr: What's the deal with Frankfurt school and if people connected to them are worth reading?

>What's the deal with the Frankfurt School
A collection of contemporary, far-left philosophers that gained notoriety because particularly paranoid right-wingers connect them to a conspiracy.

>Are worth reading?
No, they really have nothing substantial to say beyond what's already been said in far-left circles.

The Frankfurt school is a bunch of left wing thinkers that right wingers uses as a meme to explain why their beloved culture is turning against them instead of capitalism

I think the Alt-right obcession with the Frankfurt conspiracy and "Cultural marxism" is pure nonsense but let's be real, the only "genuine culture" they wanted to foster was a universal one based on "progressive" ideals

What is a progressive ideal? Name 5 and point to a text in which a Frankfurter endorses it.

I think that it is important to make a distinction between the commercialized "progressive" ideas ideas of today and the ideas that was considered "progressive" back then. their "progressive" ideas of i'm, just going to assume you mean socialism, was mostly based on previous thoughts of "maybe kings and landowners don't have divine right to land" kind of idea wich go way back in history while todays "progressive" ideas are mostly used to sell stuff and continue growth in a ever stagnating economy.
