The right likes to refer to "wokeness" as "cultural Marxism" now.

The word Marxism has historically been demonized by Red Scare propaganda, so the right likes to use the word to refer to anything that they don't like, like a Boogeyman of sorts.

"Cultural Marxism" is a specific reference to the Nazi term "Cultural Bolshevism" btw
