It's not really accurate to call it a conspiracy theory. It's really just an attempt to name a group of ideas. The "conspiracy theory" charge is just push back

The "conspiracy theory" charge is just push back because it's easier to criticize ideas if you can name them.
- KirinDave 8y agoPersonally I think that it's much better to point to it's near-indisitinguishability from "Cultural Bolshevism" which was an anti-jewish & anti-worker-union movement in Germany prior to WW2. It's a real problem for anyone seriously attempting to use the term. It makes me wonder why people cling to it as a classification (when literally hundreds of other options exist), which are more descriptive and don't try and invoke the specter of authoritarian Russian regimes. What's actually "marxist" about it?
