“Cultural Marxism” is just another in a long line of terms like “Islamofascism” and “National Socialism” that exist solely to allow capitalists and fascists to propagandize to the most ignorant kind of authoritarian. These terms are made by

Hmm… well, based on a quick examination of those social platforms that both exist and are successful, it appears that list would have to include: 1. Willingness to exploit human psychology for financial gain. 2. Complete disinterest in the
