Was he a gommie?
Soft gommie like Woody Guthrie

He'd probably be down with AntiFa, if that's what you're asking
Who gives a shit
Something tells me that the average /pol/tard's mind would be blown by Steinbeck's political views

B-but the people who oppose fascism are the real fascists!!! Not the peaceful neo nazi snowflakes marching and complaining about violation of free speech when that includes criticism of beliefs

probably not on todays terms.
certainly not the neomarxist feminist, anti family weaklings we see in america today.
his largest works focus on generations of family struggle at the hands of greedy oligarchs.
you can def see a little of that revolutionary spirit in him, but i couldnt see him getting on board with the abolition of family, gender, race etc. Hes one of my favorites because of how well he depicts regular working people.
Opposition to getting fucked by greedy kikes and an capitalism doesnt =/= gommie

Marxism has always been primarily about economics, not about culture or feminism. "Neomarxism" or "cultural marxism" aren't and have never been real things.
The abolition of family / gender / race isn't something for weaklings or gays. It's a real intellectual understanding of material and social conditions and taking a rational critique of our world. Extremists who want to solve everything in one go are the problem. You can be a Marxist and oppose bullshit family structures, the family, gender roles, and all the rest, and not be some sissy college kid or whatever it is that you see as some ultimate evil, or whatever.

literally wrong!

That's right. Anti-fa aren't fascist, they're worse: commies and anarchist scum.

This is a good summation and post. At the time there was a kind of uninformed appeal in communism that is difficult for many today to understand.

And this post was written by a jew. Or the dumbest of non-jews, though I have a hard time believing there are that many who would express Marxist ideals like this retard did so overtly. Yes, the whole point of destroying family structures, hierarchies, etc., was to destroy the foundations of white society so jews could climb up through the ruins and rule over the scraps, and that's exactly what has happened. There was never anything greater behind it, though, no true ideal or value, because communism, as well as Marxism, was from the start about obliterating these linchpin social norms and structures for judaic rule. That's why the primary enemy is the jew and why whites must band together in order to remove the jew.
>>9964986
have you even read the communist manifesto
>>9964997
Yes, I have. Are you jewish, white, or something else?

I don't think you understand where/why the term "Cultural Marxism" even came to be.
Marxism is a diluted term, the Marxism that was around the Western World in 1960's isn't the same as the Marxism taught during the same time period in USSR.
It's useful to sometimes to just paint in broad strokes.
For example; Marxism is about abolishing the ruling structure and bringing everyone to the same level in terms of wealth by giving the means of production to the workers. Now you may say that this is not Marxism. Fine, but ultimately it doesn't matter.
Social Marxism is just a Layman's term for the currently trendy ideology of getting rid of all social categories and bringing everyone to an equal social and cultural standing. The thing is that this """movement""" is full of hypocrites and nobody agrees on anything.
tl;dr It's just an easy to understand term created just to make conversation smoother.
