How was the New Left different from the Old Left? How did

>>2382159
the old left was quasi stalinist and old school marxist.

the new left were sort of bourgois dissidents of the old left that were anti authoritarian and often times anti-communists. they were considered neutral by the CIA during the cold war, as opposed to the old left which the CIA hated

old left was actually respectable

>>2382224
The New Left as a movement died sometime in the 80s. It's not equitable with the post-2008 socialist movement.

Bad meme, the USSR was the most feminist nation on the planet until Western Europe started paving the way in the 70s.

Drug addicts were also never executed.

Old left parroted Marx and others as the ideal society and the ideal hapiness for all. After it failed miserably beginning in the 70s & 80s SJW'ism started up and took that to what you have now.

Now its just called a "mixed economy", "Social Justice", "Equality", "Minority Rights" etc. All designed to control thought. The key to controlling action is controlling thought.

Engineer a generation to think a certain way and you can impose your desired system upon them and they will accept it.

>From ’68 — and ’89 — to today

>By the 1960s, the “Left” increasingly denied the rights and responsibilities of strategically placed populations at the heart of global capital to change the course of history. — As Susan Sontag succinctly expressed it in 1967,“the white race is the cancer of human history.” — Embraced was a passive expectation of the crowding onto the historical stage by “subalterns,” with no critical regard for the actual political forms this takes. — As Adorno put it at the advent of decolonization: “Savages are not more noble” (1944). — Such abdication took diverse forms of self-abnegation — including racist enthusiasms for “cultural difference” — evacuating politics.

>The revolutionary Left, already in a state of deep decomposition after 1945, received the last nail in its coffin with the abdication of the role of critical social consciousness in the wake of the “New” Left — but prepared long before. The post-’60s disenchantment of the Left cast a long shadow across the 1970s-80s, and culminated in 1989-92 with the destruction of the Soviet Union and the “end of history” — an end to any (“grand”) projects of emancipatory social transformation. The “New Left” got the world it deserved; attempts to sustain its pseudo-radical anti-Marxism are efforts to resuscitate a ghost.

>Adorno’s observation that “wrong life cannot be lived rightly” (1944) has been mistaken to be an existential and not a political problem. But the problem of practice is not ethical but concerns opening actual social-political possibilities for emancipation.

>An emancipated world in which the freedom of each would be a precondition for the freedom of all, achieved through social solidarity that provides “from each according to his ability, to each according to his need” (Marx), whose vision motivated the historical Left, seems scarcely conceivable today.

>But, just as it is quite possible, manifestly, to be oppressed without realizing the reasons for it — the meaning of “alienation” — unfulfilled potential can yet persist despite lack of awareness of it: a non-identity of subject and object. The possibility of critical consciousness of emancipation survives its apparent demise, however unconsciously it tasks us today. The role of consciousness is vital for any possible social emancipation.

Well army and police under the rule of burgeois and rulling class is a enemy of proletariat. Bolsheviks really dont believe in Tsar strong secret police because is the aparat of police itself.

Trotsky wrote on this particular problem “The worker who becomes a policeman in the service of the capitalist state, is a bourgeois cop, not a worker.“

Soviet Union was pioneer in forcing LGBT and woman rights. Communist recognize dividing trought social class not race or individual sexual identification. Also old communist opposes imperialism of the west everywhere.

>After it failed miserably

What do you mean?

>>2383203
Absolutely retarded, Mao practiced a a variant of Leninism but probably took some influence from Stalin.

Cultural Marxism is a vague and ambiguous term that nobody uses to apply to themselves. The individuals /pol/ calls cultural Marxists tend to be liberals friendly to capitalism with no connection to Marxist thought.

>Supports the Armed Invasion of Islamist territories
