David Bowie

Something I've been thinking about. Cultural Marxism is bad yeah, but david bowie created some of the best music in history, and was obviously heavily under the influence of Marxism if he knew it or not.

I mean, half the time in performances he looks transgendered.

I want to know /pol/'s opinion, was he mocking Marxism the way he acted, or was he taking it to heart?

You might be looking a little too much into "cultural marxism" here. A lot has been attributed to Karl Marx that shouldn't have, peasant's revolts and related observations of the social hierarchy have been happening since civilization began, Marx just became the poster boy for this phenomena after the rise of the soviet union and its propaganda. The attempt to apply Marx's more abstract ideas to culture and society has little to do with Marxism and more to do with people entertaining their fantasies, using Marx as some edgy label. Or at least they seem more interested in banal identity politics in the developed world than actually trying to improve the lives of the poor.

David Bowie was preoccupied with his music and the hippy counter-culture was on the periphery really.
