Cultural Marxism is a term that was coined in 1973 by Trent Schroyer (who his contemporaries suggest was a Marxist himself) in a book about Critical Theory and its application to the United States. This term wasn’t just a throw away of the book either, being a main title for part of a chapter as well as a key point for Wiles’ 1975 review of the book in the “British Journal of Law and Society”. The book received positive reviews by academics at the time.

How have you come to the conclusion that cultural Marxism was “a theory made up by racists, which they claim Jews and blacks and others subscribe to and that is part of a plan by non-white, non-male, non-Christian groups to undermine the West.” Did you just do a google search and end up in some dark corner of the internet? Are you just pandering to a base? I honestly can’t understand how you’ve come to this conclusion.

Frankly, and I don’t use this term often or lightly, you’re spewing bullshit here, demonstrably false bullshit. The question remains, why? Why would someone with your status and background either 1) knowingly mislead with this sort of baited title and then follow up with a totally erroneous and fallacious defence doubling down on your misconceptions or 2) not research basic terms before spewing horrible hate-filled rhetoric and allegations against a group of people for whom it is not relevant?
