"Cultural Marxism" is a retarded right wing conspiracy theory that doesn't even understand incredibly basic philosophy or sociology.
It's an entry on Wikipedia. No one actually calls themselves a cultural Marxist. The point of Marxism is economic determinism.
The closest anything comes to such a term is the Western European communists of the 60s and 70s - Reformist parliamentary Marxists like Gramsci. It was a reaction to the Soviet, Trotskyist and Maoist parties and factions of the past.
It lasted for about 5 minutes. These Marxists were essentially social democrats, which is where they all went: absorbed into the labour and social democratic parties, and later, the Greens. The rest gave up politics altogether, moving into various local struggles: the Green Bans in Sydney, environmentalism, prison reform, women's groups and feminism.
"Cultural" Marxism is contradiction in terms. It is, indeed, a retarded conspiracy theory that doesn't exist and never really has.
