> anywhere there is a rainbow flag really, I don't know that anyone could argue against intersectionality and post-colonialism as being examples of the marxist movements that the CIA fought the cold war against

Yes, when Raytheon or some BigTech front for mass surveillance splashes the rainbow colors across their logo, that's 'Marxism' at work!

Plenty of Marxists are actually quite skeptical of intersectionality. There's vigorous debate on the left as to whether its ultimate role (if not to say its intended purpose) is to undermine class analysis and solidarity with an endless kaleidoscope of trumped-up divisions.

The idea that Marxism has captured Hollywood is likewise bollocks. The films it churns out relentlessly champion narcissism, power fantasies, fast cars, and the MIC.
