Cultural Marxism is an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory which was popularised in recent years by figures on the far-right, including the Norwegian terrorist Anders Breivik, for whom it formed a major part of his terrorist manifesto.

So please, stop going there.
The "link" between 5G and the coronavirus is, as I said, a spurious correlation.
Oh come on. Seriously! It has been around for 100 years. Fact!
It is only in the last decade or so that this idea of cultural Marxism being a conspiracy theory had cropped up. I know this because I have been familiar with the body of literature for a much longer time than that. And how did it become an anti-Semitic conspiracy theory!!!
Truth is there are plenty of university educated people in positions of influence who would prefer their ideological fetishes were not subject to criticism. Heck, doing so might expose their hypocrisy when it comes to such matters as discrimination.
But they have the power. Really, that is what it comes down to. Tertiary educated, urban elites abusing their power because they can get away with it. Marcuse’s legacy was to leave them an ideological justification of why they can impose rules on others but not be subject to those rules themselves.
Absolutism.
Of course these urban elite, cultural Marxists are also progressive liberals and very bourgeois. Careful to secure their own wealth and, dispute their carefully cultivated image of socialism, indifferent to the circumstances of those they believe to be beneath them. So bourgeois. So aspirational class.
But they aspire to be more than middle class. They want to be aristocrats.
Liberal society has come full circle. The descendants of the townsfolk whom displaced the old aristocratic order now wish to attain the same lofty status for themselves. To rule by law, imposing it on others but not being subject to it themselves. ( by contrast, Rule of law means the same law applies to everyone). For those who always aspire to greater status, what else if left to attain within the liberal order?
I say criticise them. Expose their ideological fetish, cultural Marxism, for the dishonest claptrap that it is. Let them be seen for what they really are. And it is that very reason, to avoid being seen for what they really are, that any mention of cultural Marxism must be discredited. Fundamentally dishonest people claiming to be one thing, morally concerned with equality, while striving to be part of an unaccountable ruling class.
But defend them if you see fit, @Godstud . I guess you just don’t think equality before the law or political accountability to be of any importance.
