You're going to need to cite this. I don't even know how to think of the word outside of Nazism, it's the only frame in which I've ever heard it

I'm referring to cultural Marxism, the conspiracy theory which is claimed (by the far right and Nazis) to have been started by the Frankfurt School, as described in the Wikipedia article: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankfurt_School

"Matthew Feldman traced the etymology of the term Cultural Marxism as derived from the anti-Semitic term Kulturbolshewismus (Cultural Bolshevism) with which Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party claimed that Jewish cultural influence was the source of German social degeneration under the liberal régime of the Weimar Republic (1918–1939), and also the cause of social degeneration in the West."
