Critical theory roots are from post WW1 Germany:<\/p>\n

“What do I mean when I say that wokeness is \u201ccritical social justice?\u201d What I mean is that it goes beyond the social justice equation by adding in the explicit incorporation and weaponization of what\u2019s known as \u201cCritical Theory.\u201d<\/p>\n

Critical Theory came out of the Frankfurt School, which was founded in Germany after World War I, but its scholars eventually immigrated to the United States and took up residence at Columbia University.<\/p>\n

Critical Theory is explicitly Marxist in its origination and roots, and like Marx, divides the world into categories of \u201coppressor\u201d and \u201coppressed.\u201d But the Frankfurt School sought to translate Marx\u2019s economic project into a much broader, all-encompassing social critique.<\/p>\n

In a succinct and helpful summary, Wikipedia\u00a0explains<\/a>\u00a0that \u201cCritical Theory (capitalized) is a school of thought practiced by the Frankfurt School theoreticians Herbert Marcuse, Theodor Adorno, Walter Benjamin, Erich Fromm, and Max Horkheimer. Horkheimer described a theory as critical insofar as it seeks \u2018to liberate human beings from the circumstances that enslave them.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

In other words, Critical Theory is all about finding, revealing, critiquing, and ultimately dismantling hidden \u201cpower structures\u201d across all of society.<\/p>\n

Just what might these oppressive power structures be? Primarily God, religion, the family, traditional values, sexual morality, free market economics, and even \u2014 as we see today in the transgender movement \u2014 the biological reality of the sex binary.”<\/p>\n
