Cultural Marxism is an antisemitic conspiracy theory that claims that Jews are using Marxism to destroy Western civilization. In 1935, Joseph Goebbels said, "It was the Jew who discovered Marxism. It is the Jew who for decades past has endeavored to stir up world revolutions through the medium of Marxism. It is the Jew who is today at the head of Marxism in all the countries of the world." Winston Churchill also believed in an international Jewish conspiracy that dated back to the French Revolution.
