In short it's the real communism. Sadly the view of communism has been butchered by society and is now viewed as the mass killing of Russians and Chinese. Everyone can agree that Stalin had it wrong, so did Mao. But let's not forget the true words of Marx. So go ahead hate communism but don't let Marx get the blunt of your insults. Read the manifesto and see what was supposed to happen.
Nothing more to say about marxism.

Cultural Marxism is sometimes labeled as a conspiracy theory by people on the far left, but this definition explains how most people use the term in political conversation:

Marxism can be summed up as the interpretation that the world is best understood as a power struggle between different wealth groups (poor, middleclass, rich, bourgeoisie, proletariot, etc). Cultural Marxism is a term used to describe the idea that our society is best interpreted as being a power struggle between different identity groups or cultures(women, men, gay, straight, black, white).

Cultural Marxism is used by most people refers to a kind of behavior that looks for power imbalances in everyday culture (like asking a person where they are from, or complementing a black persons hair) and problematizing those interactions, causing people to resent others for innocuous little social misdemeanors.

Cultural Marxism assumes the worst of the actions of a supposedly powerful group by saying that their little faux-pas are really egregious examples of latent prejudice, and excuses the hatred and rudeness of the supposedly weaker group by saying that their behavior is an expression of resisting power or "asserting their personhood".

Cultural Marxists hunt relentlessly to find things to be offended about, and claim to speak on behalf of all oppressed groups, though most of the time cultural marxists are rich, priviledged, upper and middle class white college women with multicolored hair.
"Like every moral busybody across history, Cultural Marxists always come at you with this famous glint in their eye that suggests that they know better than you how you should live your life and they will make you if they get the chance."

"Cultural Marxism is the practice of interpreting what people say in the most uncharitable way."

The philosophical/political/economic beliefs of an extremely small and highly secretive international pseudo-religious sect bent on revolutionary enlightenment through socio-economic understanding and self-compassion.

It sure as hell ain't zen and it sure as hell ain't marxism.
Some Zen Marxism quotes:

"Life has to be given a 'meaning' -- because of the obvious fact that it has no meaning."

"Everything we shut our eyes to, everything we run away from, everything we deny, denigrate or despise, serves to defeat us in the end. What seems nasty, painful, evil, can become a source of beauty, joy, and strength, if faced with an open mind."

"Hope is a bad thing. It means that you are not what you want to be. It means that part of you is dead, if not all of you. It means that you entertain illusions. It's a sort of spiritual clap, I should say."

"If there is to be any peace, it will come through being, not having."

-- Henry Miller
