If that's how you define 'cultural marxism', sure, but it;s unclear why that is the definition when it so different to Marxism and Marxists hate it so much.

If Marxism abandons class issues, it's not Marxism. In the same way, if feminism abandoned women's rights, it just wouldn't be feminism. And if vegetarians start eating meat, they're no longer vegetarians. This isn't a no true scotsman. Those words mean something.

You can make perfectly reasonable and well-evidenced arguments that a movement or political position which used to focus on one thing then began focusing on something else whilst retaining its ethos but this is different to saying it still is that thing.

I think you mean revolution isn't synonymous with Marxism, hence the French revolution, etc. Marxism at bottom is always revolutionary in a collective sense. when that collective is group identity instead of class, we get cultural marxism instead of classical marxism

Lots of things are revolutionary. They're not all Marxism because that was about class. Islamic revolutions are not Islamic Marxism. The Reformation was not Protestant Marxism. Marxism is economic theory.

We just can't tackle postmodernism in SocJus if we think of it as Marxism. It's a phenomenon of it's own and it doesn't work like Marxism. You need to understand how it works.

I fully agree. but it's still accurate imo to observe that postmodernism works in tandem with (cultural) marxism. After all, pomo is conceivably apolitical. It's telling that few (if any?) rightwing postmodernists exist.

Politically, in the UK, the agenda of the ancestor of the SJ movement - feminism, minority rights - was raised under the banner of the rights conversation, not by Marxists. That agenda emerged through the left liberals as loosely related discrete issues.
