The Communist Manifesto was in 1848. "Cultural Marxism" wasn't really a thing until the 60s. And what we were seeing in the 1960s was nowhere close to where we are at now.
I take it you have never seen Marxist-Leninists ("Orthodox Marxists") argue with Breadtubers ("Cultural Marxists") online before about who are genuine Marxists? Marxist-Leninist don't believe that Breadtube, Chapo Trap House, the Serfs, AOC, Justice Democrats, etc. are real leftists, let alone real Marxists.
The spirit of Marxism is completely dead and it died with the Berlin Wall in 1989. The point of Marxism is public or worker ownership of the means of production. Private corporations drapped in rainbow colours sucking black dick is not Marxism. I respect Karl Marx enough to not want to associate that crazy with him. Even if I disagree with his proposed solutions, a lot of his analysis was spot on. Karl Marx wrote his material back when the working class was working from sun up to sun down and still living in crushing poverty while the owners of capital were living large. Karl Marx had a point about what the fuck was going on in 1848 England. The point of modern leftism is hatred of cishet white males, whiteness, masculinity and destruction of western civilization.
The First Marxist Workweek was in 1922. Moreover, I hear that the Soviets implemented similar social-justice policies at first, but later dialed it back in favour of closer adherence to traditional Russian culture (and russification). The Chinese are doing the same thing now, only I don't think they ever really went in for what we would now called SJW stuff.
Whether Leninists consider other flavours of leftist to be "real Marxists" is of no concern. They can have their little sectarian debates about who's a heretic or "revisionist" and it changes nothing who some guy on the internet claims the apostates are.
I wish I could agree with you about the spirit of Marxism being dead.
