"Cultural Marxism" is a pseud term but that doesn't mean the cultural influence of Critical Theory, Post-Structuralism and Marxism itself hasn't been significant in advancing social justice ideology (oftentimes through SJWs misinterpreting and abusing these ideas, see Foucault).

It's good you mentioned that because I feel this is a point many are overlooking. The social justice assault on free expression and its destruction of classical left wing politics (which were dead in the water after 1991 anyway, let's be real) is often blamed on academics, however, these academics only dominate in certain fields (I'm sure in the post-Trump era this is changing as politicization of campuses intensifies and dissent against the mainstream of socially progressive discourse becomes an ostracize-able offense). What's been overlooked is the absolute dominance of this ideology in Social Work, HR and anything related to university administration. Many of the most committed "SJWs" are university administrators, who while lacking the zeal of naive millennial activists enforce a new code that is a soulless and banal neoliberalism guided by radical cultural critiques (Queer Theory, CRT, etc.) that have seeped their way into the mainstream of academic thought. Disagreeing with the assertions of those schools is equated with criticizing their right to exist, hence why you won't find many profound critiques of queer theory from professors you might expect to write them because it is out of line with the new neoliberal-idpol order, held up by aggressive students willing to use radical actions like public shaming and boycotting (social media has drastically increased the transformative potential of these methods) to enforce their collective safe space.
