==Brief History==
In 1923, members and sympathizers of the [[Marxist]] [[communist party]] Friedrich Pollock, Max Horkheimer, and Carl Grünberg set up an institute at Frankfurt University in [[Weimar]] [[Germany]]. This institute was named ''‘the Institute for social research''’ (In German: ''Institut für Sozialforschung''). Later it would become known simply as the Frankfurt school. These new Marxists under the direction of '''Max Horkheimer''' had seen the old [[Lenin]] Marxists fail in their attempt to win the so called ''“[[working class]]”'' in the [[Western civilization|West]]: The workers of the world did not unite in [[WW I]]. Further, these new Marxists believed the reason has been found by their comrade [[Antonio Gramsci]], who wrote in his ''Prison notebooks,'' a blueprint to de-Christianize the west, that Marxism could only flourish after ''a long march through the cultural institutions'', i.e. institutions like academies, seminaries, newspapers, magazines, radio, film, and what is now known as TV and mass media. The new mantra of Marxists would be: change the western culture and then the workers would unite. Thus, after Marx there were a group of Marxists who wilily decided that you could bring the [[Nimrodian aspirations|collectivists society]] to nation through culture as well by introducing certain pseudo-values and concepts that would, for example, [[Destroying the family|break down the family]]. If family unit is no longer self-sustaining and no longer valued in the society, then its individual members, who formerly could turn to the family for support in times of need, would now be cut loose. They would be without the place to go hence forced to turn to the [[government]] and its institutions shaped by the aforementioned "long march" i.e. by sort of [[gleichschaltung]].
But just about the ''march through institutions'' was about to begin, an anti-marxist and anti-semitic [[Adolf Hitler]] ascended to power and shortly before the [[WW II]] began, the [[Nazi]]s closed the ''Institute for social research'' in 1933. Thus, the leading representatives of the Frankfurt school packed up its ideology and themselves and fled into [[USA|America]] where they settled down mainly at the [[Columbia University]].<ref name="OriginalIntent">{{cite web |title=Original Intent: How the Democratic and Republican Parties Are Destroying the American Dream |author=James Jaeger |publisher=James Jaeger Film |pages=16min:50sec |url=http://www.originalintent.us/html/ |accessdate=30 Jan 2016}}</ref><ref name="FIORAZO2012">{{cite book |author=David Fiorazo |title=ERADICATE: Blotting Out God in America |publisher=Life Sentence Publishing |place=Abbotsford, WA |year=2012 |chapter=10 |pages=246 |isbn=978-1-62245-026-8 |url=http://davidfiorazo.com/2013/02/introduction-to-eradicate-blotting-out-god-in-america/ |quote=Frankfurt School}}</ref> In addition, the [[American Jewish Committee]] had tasked them to find anything that might give the origin points to fascism to ensure a repeat of Nazi Germany doesn't happen, and hired them, in particular Adorno, largely because he was present in Nazi Germany during the war and thus had first-hand witness to the events.<ref>http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/267543/big-liar-dinesh-dsouza</ref> Here Adorno et al. began to perform 'scientific' research of 'authoritarian personality' that in their theory was supposed to be a product of 'authoritarian family' that is 'potentially [[fascist]]'.
