Thank you for the clarification. It's not a technical detail of interest to academics only. Unless I'm mistaken, figures such as the crackpot gadfly James Linsday are making a living by harping on the supposed connection between Marxism and Critical Theory. Once a somewhat sensible critic of progressive excesses, Lindsay now sees Commies under every bed, stationed there by the proponents of cultural Marxism. MAGA people don't need reasons to come up with falsehoods, but figures such as Lindsay are fueling the Republican Party's campaign of red-baiting.
Yes, sadly James Lindsay has followed a strange trajectory, becoming a strong Trump supporter in the process. His early work was good, as in the "Sokal Squared" hoax and in his book co-authored with Helen Pluckrose, "Cynical Theories", but he has identified with the extreme Right and makes anti-Wokism the be-all and end-all of his position, even tolerating if not supporting Putinism.
