How Leftist Marxist Ideologues Undermine German Nationalism and European Identity

By Bobby Darvish, Conservative Iranian-American Christian

In today’s fractured political landscape, Europe is experiencing a cultural and ideological war between traditional nationalist movements and the aggressive advance of globalist Marxism. Nowhere is this more evident than in Germany, where conservative nationalists seeking to preserve their heritage, borders, and Christian values are relentlessly attacked by a coalition of radical leftists—including many who identify ideologically with cultural Marxism, a school of thought developed by theorists like Theodor Adorno, Herbert Marcuse, and others from the Frankfurt School.

Many of the founders of the Frankfurt School were Jewish by background, but their primary allegiance was not to Judaism or any faith tradition—it was to Marxist revolution, which they sought to implement not through economics alone but through cultural transformation. These thinkers saw the destruction of Western Christian values, the erosion of national identity, and the deconstruction of family and tradition as prerequisites to the establishment of a new social order [1].

This ideology, often called “critical theory”, permeated German and Western institutions in the post-war era and still dominates academia, media, and political discourse. Today, German nationalist movements such as the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) and other patriot groups are demonized by this Marxist cultural machine as “fascist” or “racist,” despite the fact that many of their positions are rooted in traditional conservatism: sovereignty, Christian heritage, family values, and border security.

What’s ironic is that these same Marxist intellectuals and activists celebrate multiculturalism and open borders in Europe, while remaining strangely silent or supportive of ethno-religious nationalism in Israel or in Islamic countries. The double standard is glaring. German Christians who want to preserve their homeland are labeled extremists, while leftist ideologues advocate for minority nationalism and identity politics in every other region [2].

This isn’t a question of race or religion—it’s a war of worldviews. On one side stands the Western Christian tradition—rooted in the rights of the individual, natural law, and national self-determination. On the other stands the cultural Marxist movement, which uses race, gender, and post-colonial guilt as weapons to dissolve the fabric of nations and replace it with centralized global governance.

What German nationalists are demanding is not supremacy—but survival. They want their children to grow up in a country that honors its traditions, language, and faith. But the leftist-Marxist coalition sees any form of European identity as a threat to its revolutionary goals.

As Douglas Murray writes in The Strange Death of Europe:

“The European continent is losing faith in its beliefs, traditions, and legitimacy… and is being hollowed out by guilt, self-doubt, and a refusal to defend itself.” [3]

It’s not antisemitic to critique leftist Marxists who happen to be of Jewish heritage—just as it’s not anti-Christian to critique leftist Christians or anti-Muslim to critique radical Islamists. The issue is ideology, not identity. And the ideology of cultural Marxism, whether promoted by Jewish intellectuals or anyone else, is hostile to Western civilization.

Conservatives around the world must stand in solidarity with patriots in Germany and across Europe who are fighting not for hatred, but for heritage—not for racism, but for roots. The battle isn’t just political—it’s spiritual. And unless we speak truth boldly, we risk losing not just our nations, but our souls.
