That's the point. You have a problem with people misappropriating Marxism, so why not start with the people who claim to be Marxists? If you ask cultural Marxists to explain socialism then they'll tell you to go read Capital, but I think you should be able to answer questions about it if you have and you have understood it. If you don't understand it then you have no good reason to recommend it.
