    Not an expert, but cultural Marxism can refer to theory in the vein of Gramsci or in the case of someone like jordan peterson, its sort of a reframing of cultural bolshevism, which a nazi anti communist conspiracy thing.

          Yeah this was a good episode and worth a listen -- if you need a short primer, this is pretty decent: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFQrV8UxpVA

        Yeah. If it's not clear that it's a retooling of cultural bolshevism from his speeches in general, watch his prager u video on it and its pretty clear.

        I cant really comment in gramsci, never even listened to a podcast about him, let alone read his writing, but I think it's something along the lines of what the cultural revolution was trying to deal with in regards to capitalism/liberalism shaping the ideological super structure of society.
