Lindsay description of Cultural Marxism seems well thought out and accurate.
Interestingly Lindsay and his close associates Helen Pluckrose and Peter Boghossian are part of a movement called "New Atheism". Yet they appear to be earnest, strong defenders of much of Western culture and adamant opponents of Wokism. IMO there seems to be s a degree of incongruity in their positions as anti-wokesters trying to preserve Western culture and atheists. I can't help but wonder how that is all going play out. These three feel like allies in the battle against Wokism, but opponents in the battle to preserve Christianity. If push comes to shove, will they fight for Christianity or turn on it?
The Genus / Species distinction is helpful. Another I would add, on that same tack, is that Marxist type theories wish to flatten out all Genus/species relationships so that there is no longer any distinguishable hierarchies. Of course, that excludes the people at the top making sure everyone else doesn’t benefit from any hierarchy…but that is just their cross to bear I suppose.

They overplay their hand yet. In fact, they may be doing it now.
