Marxism may have encouraged Rock & Roll and the Sexual Revolution.
Yeah, that was the way it was seen back then by conservative America, that anything that was different than the utopia that was set up for all to
enjoy immediately after WW!! was due to the Commies.
Yeah, rock and roll. Teen agers who didn't want to listen to the music of their parents who were basically listening to the music that was recorded
before they were born. Though it was not obvious to many at the time, music had been changing for decades.
Prior to recording devices and the eventual ability to broadcast music out of little electronic boxes, musical performance was almost a completely
local phenomena. Children were raised with only the capacity to listen to music played by the people in their locals and that music was pretty much
like the music that had been played for generations to their near ancestors. True there was written music like classical and stuff but most youth
never got to hear any of that.
In the 1890s there was a musical revolution called Dixieland, a style of jazz that come out of the South. That gave way to Big Band Swing in the
twenties and thirties, the music of that generation that fought in WW2. Their children wanted something else. This came on the heals of radio, the
ability to broadcast music from those little boxes and music that could be recorded onto clay discs, sold in stores across the world and kept forever,
as along as the disc did not break and if they had an electronic machine to play them on.
So the question arises here, was it the Marxists who invented the ability to record music? Was it the Marxists who invented the radio? The
microphone, the speakers etc? I don't think so. But beyond that question was it the Marxists that sought out young people and promoted them to make
new music? I think not. I think it was the good old American capitalists who found in those young people a new and developing market for whatever was
resented to the. It wasn't the Marxists who developed RCA and Motorola and all the other corporations that built radios and record players, it was
American Capitalist corporations that did so that they could make big profits from the up coming generations.
Was I Marxists who sought out new talent so that they could exploit their musical abilities to turn the youth to Communism? Me, I think not, more it
was once again good the good old capitalist that sought out the next possible king of rock and roll to turn them into rich promoters. Man I could go
on and on.
And the sexual revolution?
Once again more of the same. The sexualization of America's youth took a big step forward with movie houses. Big theaters where people could pay a
nickel and watch bigger than life up on a screen. When talkies came about in the early 1930s the movies began to get so risque that the government put
up morality sensors to keep them from getting to sexual and to a large degree, to not let young boys see to much of the female anatomy. But that
failed.
Women were promoted visually as glamorous and sexy, watch any of hundreds of movies from prior to, though, and after that big war. Sex was heavily.
Then of course there was the TV in the fifties and once again though there were censors, women were still displayed as pretty and lovely and sexy. And
who was it that did all of that? The Marxists? Hell no, it was once again American capitalists working they way. MGM, American Artists, and how many
more were making big bucks off of all this new technology.
And when one generation began to get tired of the same ol same ol, new for profit entrepreneurs came along with more and more stuff for the next
generation and the next after that.
All of that playing upon the youth of America. Let's take a quick look at them ok? 'The morality of the 1950,s still held with that Victorian ethic of
no sex until you were married. But by that time youth were not encouraged to get married until they graduated from high school. That would be around
18 or 19 years old. And even then it was held that waiting for the right person to come along and had the capacity to financially raise a family on
one income was the way to ago. All of that layered over the ample FACT that both males and females under go puberty in their early teens. So this
meant suppressing their natural physical desires for one, two, three, four, five, six and seven or eight years, all the while denying the presence of
pheromones that drive people to mate and produce off spring from the moment of puberty.
So with the over lay of sexuality on display throughout the country in the capitalist movie houses for decades it's no wonder that the Sexual
Revolution came about.
