Right, but the world is full of conflict perspectives, not least among right-wingers. They can't all be Marxists, just because Gramsci came up with an ultra-generalizable concept.
(I think we agree, just writing it down to clarify my thoughts).
It's interesting that calling CRT "Marxist" gives the Fox News watchers a familiar enemy to fulminate against, and it gives the CRT peddlers themselves unearned credibility as dangerous dissidents, so it's a misidentification that serves everyone but the dwindling number of actual Marxists, and pedants bent on accuracy.
Correct, and in fact, many Marxists are virulently against CRT/wokeness, because it distracts from class as the central conflict in society.
Critics crudely call CRT/wokeness "Marxist" because it's a conflict perspective.
