One of the obvious factors is Capitalism which we know is the winning and prevailing ideology of our times. One can easily see how crony capitalist and corporate interests will always want to push cultural Marxism elements like identity politics, politics of gender, religion, caste, creed, color, etc. as it diverts attention from the reality of economic Marxism - the massive wealth inequality between rich and poor, or the unnoticed elephant in the room.

But what surprises me the most is the agenda pushing of these corporate interests actually works whereas if you consider about the reality of our existence, it shouldn't! Which means there is also a mindset issue or an issue of folks not speaking up enough about this issue. It behooves me that even folks in the middle class or working class don't speak about economic Marxism as it's clearly in their own best interest?

Even the issues of Cultural Marxism which are presented as such are just symptoms who's roots lay in Economic Marxism. By fixing the latter, the former will automatically get fixed. The *real* inequality in a given society or civilization is always that of resources. To explain that inequality away, the powers and think tanks create rationalization narratives like "gender disparity between X and Y is causing this inequality" and thus turning it into a cultural issue when in reality it's an economic one.
