The problem arises when the starting point is ideological and the subsequent method of analysis is deductive. Political ideologies at best generate rough approximations of reality and always need to be tested against evidence. Alas, for many, that involves too much work.

Calling out cultural Marxism doesn’t avoid the question of whether or not they’re wrong, it moves the discussion right to the meat of the matter. All systems are oppressive, CM just says that an enlightened minority should rule, you know, like a new feudal system.
