So anyone who questions merit vs privilege is "Marxist"?

Maybe I'm just dumb, but I don't see any Marxism here.

Cultural Marxism substitutes white male oppressors for capitalist oppressors. The rest of the philosophy is strikingly similar.
"Cultural Marxism"? When did Marx talk about culture in that way? He spoke very directly of class and economics. What similarities are you perceiving here? Expectations of equal opportunity are far different from the inversion of political subjugation that Marx proposed.

Honestly, I think you're just tossing the word "Marxist" in as a form of name-calling, with no viable connection to your point.
