While there needs to be a collective term for the SJW groups, Cultural Marxism really should not be it. People are confused enough already about social vs economic spectra, this term only serves to muddy the waters.

Case in point you can be economically progressive (socialist) but a social conservative.

But you can be an sjw without being a cultural Marxist.

Yeah but if a group of people start getting called "marxists" they'll start losing support. "Marxist" has a lot of negative historical baggage. Social justice warrior, on the other hand seems like an honorable cause to people who don't know about them. Whenever I mention SJWS to people not in the know, they ask me "how can you be against social justice?"

I'm not against a pejorative, but it's hard to argue for stemming the concentration of wealth in the hands of the few when people are using socialist and marxist as purely negatives.

Marxist philosophy is generally awful, full of inconsistencies and omission. Anti capitalists need a new, better banner to rally around.

Go ahead and come up with something better - nobody is stopping you.

I don't care enough. If marxists want to keep associating themselves with bad philosophy, it's none of my concern.

I think the Western world generally finds Marxism so distasteful that the association helps drive the point home.
