A Well-Funded Political Conspiracy

This chapter seeks to examine the role of money in funding the Right-wing part of the contemporary culture war. Drawing mainly from John K. Wilson’s The Myth of Political Correctness, the goal is to show how the hiding of a tax revolt from above behind a battle over cultural identity has been a coordinated effort reliant on the use of large sums of cash. Although the people involved in this conspiracy often were not fully aware of how the different parts of the political scheme fit together, the result has enabled the use of the political unconscious for very specific purposes, especially in the effort to attack universities as centers of Left-wing indoctrination.
