They are quite literally cultural Marxists, useful idiots led astray by the Communist agitators we employ in academia.
These are all just red baiting snarl words. You're not making a point you are just asserting that. You're engaging in MccArthyism.

Cultural Marxism refers to two things:
First, extremely rarely, "Cultural Marxism" refers to the application of Marxist ideology and/or critical theory to social sciences.
Second, much more commonly, "Cultural Marxism" is used as a snarl word by reactionaries to red-bait anyone with progressive tendencies. The term alludes to a conspiracy theory in which sinister left-wingers in media, academia, and science are engaged in a decades-long plot to undermine Western culture. Perhaps with some "Sexual Bolshevism" thrown in for good measure.
The conspiracist usage originated in Nazi Germany, where Kulturbolschewismus ("Cultural Bolshevism") was used as a political term of abuse, as well.[1] The Nazis being the Nazis, they of course often mixed it with their idea that all Bolshevism was a Jewish plot.
So if anyone rants about "Cultural Marxists taking over culture!", kindly remind them that they're literally spouting Nazi propaganda.
So yeah, "SJW", "Cultural Marxism", "SCUM" whatever are just loaded petty insults that are being used to silence and dismiss anyone who has opinion that is contrary to patriarchy and white privilege.
