I still have no idea what this talking point is supposed to mean or why people think important to say it even if they believe it to mean something.https://twitter.com/realchrisrufo/status/1394395052034596864 …

How about "critical race theory is racialized critical theory (CT being a Marxist approach to culture and society)"?
Quote from Crenshaw, founder of CRT: "[We] discovered ourselves to be critical theorists who did race and racial justice advocates who did critical theory"

CT is, originally, a post-Marxist approach. Yes, it very much is influenced by Marxism, hence the name, but the epistemology is quite different. Contemporary CT -e.g. CSJ- is more postmodern the post-Marxist; though being a metanarrative it's distinct from postmodernism, too.

I think Rufo's point is to say the dynamics have a *lot* in common with how Marxism played out the first time, on an economic-class basis, and to warn people to that. We see struggle sessions, we see pretty-sounding rhetoric about equality being used to justify grave ills, etc.
