There is an argument for it but it is Marxist philosophy about culture. (We published one - https://areomagazine.com/2018/08/11/who-is-afraid-of-cultural-marxism-what-the-frankfurt-school-can-still-teach-us/ …) It's not what is accused of being 'Cultural Marxism' which is actually a mix of postmodernism, identity studies & identity politics & not much to do with Marxism.https://twitter.com/puddleg/status/1051605544962670592 …

I would say that Marx's linguistic fetishization of victimhood, as highlighted by Edmund Wilson in To The Finland Station, informs all these fields, justifying the CM rubric.https://twitter.com/puddleg/status/1029516690969702402 …
George Henderson added,
George Henderson @puddlegKarl Marx gave us an economic theory, but also, as Edmund Wilson showed in his 1940 history of ideas To The Finland Station, coined a sado-masochistic vocabulary to promote it. This linguistic fetishization of victimhood is the part of Marx's legacy that has endured and grown. pic.twitter.com/eoSgsWXBfx2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes

Make links if you want. Linguistics. Oppressed classes. False consciousness. Revolutionary zeal. That can be an interesting academic project. But if you want to address the SocJus activism problem, you'll need to understand SocJus scholarship which calls on postmodernism.
