I also think there is such a thing as "cultural Marxism"-- i.e., Marx as refracted through the Frankfurt School (esp. Marcuse) and as applied by Gramsci. We saw this in China: "Mao did what Gramsci thought." We've seen this variant in our schools, which are almost completely ruled by Paulo Friere, and we're seeing it take over all the other institutions Gramsci targeted when he called for "seizing the means of *cultural* production." To say we're seeing *classical* Marxism in the U.S., for example, is technically incorrect--but to say we're seeing its modern-day variant (a Hegelian sythesis of postmodernism and Neo-Marxism) and is not wholly incorrect.
