It’s “right wing activists” but they don’t refer to Marx as left wing. LOL.

I think they felt it necessary to explain away the significance of Marxist by surrounding it with boring and irrelevant words, so that readers would not understand what Marxism means.

The importance of Marxism in this context is not its name, but what follows from it: It is the ideological theory that inspired and guided the Russian Revolution, Hitler's National Socialist ("Nazi") movement, Mao Tse-Tung's revolution and 80-year death cult in China and eastern Asia, and the destruction of both native cultures and modern governments in Africa and South America, leading to the wholesale, state-operated murder of hundreds of millions of innocent civilians, the theft of multiple trillions of dollars in wealth, and the destruction of productive capacity in about a third of the populated world.

They were hoping readers would not grasp what it means to be in favor of Marxism.

What NBC felt necessary was to trot out a historical definition to hide what contemporary Marxists are really about: radical transformation of society and values by taking over institutions and groups (like, taking over a national Library association and using it to push gender BS).

NBC wants the woman’s profession of Marxist belief to come across as a harmless academic interest. “Oh, she’s into a 19th political theory that “critiques” capitalism and “analyzes” class relations — how boring and obscure”. They don’t want you to notice she is advocating a virulent totalitarian ideology.
