The redirect is not appropriate and seems to represent a clumsy attempt an censorship. This phrase has entered into fairly common usage now and merits a page of its own. The reference to the frankfurt school can be a link, but that obscure historical usage is at most a footnote. Helper0237621 (talk) 19:38, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
- Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. EvergreenFir (talk) 19:45, 1 May 2018 (UTC)
I am not sure how much can be written about "Cultural Marxism" on its own other than that it's a conspiracy theory, and giving examples of the term being thrown by right-wing celebrities. It hasn't got a rich history like the New World Order, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, or similar ones. Perhaps if someone writes a draft with richer content, it could be considered to be established as an independent article. BeŻet (talk) 10:19, 7 August 2018 (UTC)
Deletion review
editIn case editors may overlook it, there was a deletion review last September as seen here: Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2018 September 6. It closed with no consensus to overturn but mentioned the possibility of discussion elsewhere. Thanks, Erik (talk | contrib) (ping me) 18:01, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
Redirect is broken
editHi @EdJohnston: or other admins, the redirect is broken because the section from that article has been removed and a separate article has been created Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory. Please could you fix the redirect so it goes there instead?
Thanks

- Done - looks like there's sufficient consensus at Talk:Frankfurt_School#Split? for a new article. Sam Walton (talk) 12:17, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
- For further discussion, go to Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2020 September 11#Cultural Marxism. See also Talk:Frankfurt School#Split? as mentioned above by User:Samwalton9. Samwalton6 left the redirect fully protected, it just goes to a new place, the separate article on Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory, newly created on 11 September 2020. My guess is that this change of the redirect into an article will not be very controversial. The original problem was that people were trying to make Cultural Marxism into a real thing and not just a bugaboo. It would be helpful if somebody would officially close the discussion at Talk:Frankfurt School#Split?. EdJohnston (talk) 14:26, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

- Why is there no Cultural Marxism Wikipedia entry and why is is being redirected to a Conspiracy Theory page? Isaw (talk) 17:50, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
- "Cultural Marxism" was never the primary name given to the field that Wikipedia addresses as Marxist cultural analysis. The conspiracy theory isn't related to any "real Cultural Marxism", because the conspiracy theory isn't based on anything real, and the field of study you are talking about was never widely known as "Cultural Marxism".
- Perhaps more to the point: repeated, widely participated discussions have consistently reached the consensus that the only encyclopaedic topic referred to as "Cultural Marxism" is the conspiracy theory. WP:CONSENSUSCANCHANGE, but there isn't any evidence that it actually has. Newimpartial (talk) 02:18, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
Move discussion in progress
editThere is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 18:52, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
- and on that page they say to come here? Looks like a Wikipedia conspiracy? :) Isaw (talk) 09:41, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- That was back in 2020. People have been kvetching about this for ages and it never gets anybody anywhere.
- There does not seem to be a redirect proposal active at the moment. The correct place to start one would be at WP:RfD but please let me save you some time before you go and bother them. The redirect is correct. It is not going to be changed. There is no magical rhetorical formula that you can contrive which will bamboozle us into changing it incorrectly. All you are doing is annoying people and it is time to stop doing that. --DanielRigal (talk) 18:21, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- Why is there no Wikipedia entry for "Cultural Marxism" and why is the page for Cultural Marxism diverting to a conspiracy Theory entry when Cultural Marxism is NOT a conspiracy theory? Isaw (talk) 20:43, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- 2020 or 2010 is irrelevant! Cultural Marxism was an established academic field in the 1980s and 1990s and it is being misdirected to a page which claims Cultural Marxism is and always a far Right conspiracy Theory. How do Wikipedia correct this? Isaw (talk) 20:47, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- And in case you think that Daniel's assessment is just a single voice, let me assure you that it isn't. --𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 20:20, 23 August 2024 (UTC)
- It doesn't matter if multiple editirs say Cultural Marxism should not have its own entry in Wikipedia and should instyead redirect to a Conspiracy Theory entry if they happen to be WRONG and Cultural Marxism is #NOT a conspiracy theory. How does one get Cultural Marxism to have its own actually factually true and reliable entry and not be misconstrued as a Conspiracy theory? Isaw (talk) 20:46, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- There are many cases where a topic name has multiple meanings and thus multiple articles. When there is a clear WP:primary topic, as in this case, then that is what the article of that name is about. The existence of article(s) about the other topic(s) is identified at the top of the primary article using a WP:hatnote such as {{other uses}}. So you would need to write an article (or section of an article) about the academic field and then use the hatnote mechanism to highlight it. Does that help? 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 22:53, 24 August 2024 (UTC)
- Please note that Wikipedia's preferred article title for "Marxist cultural studies/"the cultural turn in Marxism"/"cultural Marxism" is Marxist cultural analysis. You could propose to move that article to Cultural Marxism, but an overwhelming consensus has concluded on at least five occasions that the main topic of "Cultural Marxism" is the conspiracy theory.

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it. |
In the spirit of WP:BOLD, healthy compromise, ease of finding information, and in light of the lack of consensus in both Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory and Marxist cultural analysis as to how the articles should be named, I've changed the page to offer links to both articles. Both articles have links to each other, and one of the few mutual agreements between both sides of the discussion on both of the pages concede that the term "Cultural Marxism" can refer to both the application of Marxist theory to critique of things other than class, or to the alt-right conspiracy theory that uses it as a basis. Looking at the relevant Talk pages should be enough to demonstrate the ambiguity of the term on this page and justify offering both to those interested in the subject, and as contentious as the discussions may be, I believe that the simplest solution is to offer readers to look for the meaning they intended to find, rather than favoring one over the other. And again, both pages refer to each other, and both have very well sourced claims that the term "Culutral Marxism" is used to refer to each depending on the context.

Bit underhand that Cultural Marxism redirects here, and not to Marxist cultural analysis page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Obsteve (talk • contribs) 16:28, 21 February 2023 (UTC)
