The term "cultural Marxism" has been used in a general sense to discuss Marxist ideas in the cultural field; however, the term "Cultural Marxism" is also used by purveyors of the anti-Semitic Cultural Marxism conspiracy theory. Parts of the conspiracy theory make reference to actual thinkers and ideas that are in the Western Marxist tradition, but they severely misrepresent the subject. Marxist cultural analysis includes diverse thinkers with conflicting ideas, but conspiracy theorists instead treat them as interchangeable parts of a coherent movement. Conspiracy theorists exaggerate the actual influence of Marxist cultural analysis, including outlandish claims about Marxist efforts to dominate governments and mind-control populations. Joan Braune has argued it is not correct to use the term "Cultural Marxism", since there is no such movement.

Marxist cultural analysis, as it emerged in post-war Western and Eastern Europe, was a reaction to the tendency within Soviet-style Marxism to treat culture as a mere secondary epiphenomenon of economic relations, of classes and modes of production. Western European Marxists led the way. The humanist Marxism of the New Left, which first emerged in the late 1950s, increasingly engaged with anthropological conceptions of cutlure that emphasized human agency: language, communication, experience, and consciousness. By the 1960s and 1970s Western cultural Marxism was engaged in a dialogue with structuralism, post-structuralism and semiotics.

Some of the most suggestive criticisms of the path taken by many followers of the Birmingham School (not of its founders) emphas ize that they have let themselv es be caught out by a certain textual condition, where the text seems to ac quire a self-contained condition, overlooking the connection with social contexts. Therefore, Fredric Jameson emphasizes the need to recover the critical theory of culture that comes from Marx, Freud, the School of Frankfurt, Luckács, Sartre and complex Marxism, and suggests redefin ing cultural studies as cultural Marxism and as a critique of capitalism. For this, the economic, political and social formations should be considered and the importance of social classes highlighted (Jameson, 1998). {{cite web}}: line feed character in |quote= at position 382 (help); line feed character in |title= at position 47 (help)
