"In the Frankfurt School analysis, consumption culture and mass media displaced the role of a father figure in the paternalistic family. Rather than serving to liberate society from patriarchal authority however, this merely replaced it with the authority of the "totally administered" society.'
This is how fatherhood, and then family, was to be eradicated from Western culture. So how well has their theory worked?
We have a materialistic consumer culture.
We have a media-dependent population.
We have fatherless homes, or homes in which children are reminded by government school and mass media not to respect fathers or authority.
We have a centralized administrative state to make sure that this hard-left cultural structure remains dominant.
This is the cultural revolution and the "cultural hegemony" the Frankfurt School revolutionaries fought to achieve.
American foreign policy must consider not only the condition of allied nations today but also the direction or trajectory in which they are moving. European leadership restricting freedom of speech and banning entry to peaceful activists cannot be dismissed as purely domestic when it affects American citizens and raises questions about the values on which the transatlantic alliance rests.
