[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

There’s a lot of confusion as to what Marxism actually is. It’s not a form of goverment it’s a theory of history (history can be seen in terms of class struggle). As such, the term ‘Cultural Marxism’ doesn’t make much sense.

I would disagree, because we need to understand that Marxism isn't just a theory of history, it's a deterministic theory of history, indeed, it almost has a millenarian flavour to it - Marxists believe they are going to bring about the "End of History", and for our modern day lefties, this is going to be obtained by means of cultural subversion of the reigning bourgeious social order. As such, "cultural marxism" strikes me as an eminently accessible term.

Auden called it a Christian Heresy (Peglagianism I assume)so the Millenarian idea makes sense but the idea of subverting the ‘bourgeois social order’ is something that came to be attached to Marx's strictly historical/economic ideas much later by Gramsci and others. He gets credit/blame for a whole bunch of irrelevant ideas. Marxism should be seen in context as a 19th century Materialist response to Hegel.
