What is The Frankfurt School?
-
The Frankfurt school started its life in Frankfurt in 1923 under the name of the Institute of Social Research. It was a Marxist-oriented research centre affiliated with the University of Frankfurt. Famous instigators and members include Carl Grünberg, Georg Lukács, Felix Weil, Max Horkheimer, Theodor W. Adorno, Erich Fromm, Herbert Marcuse and Jürgen Habermas. Antonio Gramsci and what most now describe as the quackery of Sigmund Freud were also big influences on the institute’s development.
-
The school’s thinking was that something else of significance needed to replace the working class as the vanguard of the previously failed global Marxist revolution so that a global revolution could be achieved. It was decided that something else would be a coalition of all the minority groups who had various identities and agendas to push.

Conclusion
-
So all these social movements happening in the USA at the time especially – second, third and now fourth wave feminism, gay rights, sexual liberation and the black power movement were appropriated and used as a means to an end to attack what the cultural Marxists believed to be the evil establishment. The evil establishment held in place, they deemed, by oppressive people of mostly European ancestry who largely believed in the American dream of a free society, free speech and the inherent rights of the individual protected under a written constitution.
