An unimportant and harmless idea that has been the focal point of a hysteria the likes of which America has only seen in the McCarthy era, propelled to the new big bad bogeyman by the clinically insane (conservatives).
Critical race theory is nothing more than the critical analysis of law in the united states as it intersects with race.
Naturally, said insane people have created intelligent-sounding, but ultimately meaningless, words such as "neo-racism" and other such equivalent nonsense to justify their insanity.

Get the Critical race theory mug.1. A far-right antisemitic conspiracy theory which claims Western Marxism as the basis of continuing academic and intellectual efforts to subvert Western culture. The conspiracists claim that an elite of Marxist theorists and Frankfurt School intellectuals are subverting Western society with a culture war that undermines the Christian values of traditionalist conservatism and promotes the cultural liberal values of the 1960s counterculture and multiculturalism, progressive politics and political correctness, misrepresented as identity politics created by critical theory.
The conspiracy theory of Marxist culture war is promoted by right-wing politicians, fundamentalist religious leaders, political commentators in mainstream print and television media and white supremacist terrorists. Scholarly analysis of the conspiracy theory has concluded that it has no basis in fact and is not based on any actual intellectual tendency.
2. In common usage in the wild — a common snarl word used to paint anyone with progressive tendencies as a secret Communist. The term alludes to a conspiracy theory in which sinister left-wingers have infiltrated media, academia, and science, and are engaged in a decades-long plot to undermine Western culture. Some variants of the conspiracy allege that basically all of modern social liberalism is, in fact, a Communist front group.

"The fairytale of cultural Marxism provided a post-communist adversary located specifically in the cultural realm – academics, Hollywood, journalists, civil rights activists and feminists."

Get the The Lincoln Project mug.The theory and practice of Karl Marx. Impossible to put down all his theories in one definition, but (this is an oversimplification) can be summed up as viewing history in economic terms and class struggle, and that the economic base determines the political and ideological superstructure (Historical Materialism). It is the development of the latter which produces social change: at a certain stage of their development the forces of production (the tools and instruments that are at the disposal of of humans at any given time) develop as far as they can under the existing economic and political organization of society, which then becomes a barrier to their further development, and a period of social revolution starts in which new economic and political relationships, corresponding to the expanded forces of production, are established.
Continued:
In accordance with this, it is possible to pick out the Asiatic, ancient, Feudal and modern capitalist modes of production as progressive epochs in the economic formation of society. The critical component in this consists in the view that in these successive modes of production the crucial element in society- the forces of production- have been controlled by a minority who have used their economic power in order to exploit the mass of the population by appropriating the economic surplus for their own benefit. All political institutions and cultural beliefs are shaped by the economic arrangements and those with economic power- the ruling class- so as effectively to bolster the unequal distribution of resources. This yields the Marxist concept of ideology as a set of beliefs and practices which serve to maintain an asymmetrical allocation of economic and political power.
Marx then proposed an alternative to a society based on exploitation and divided on class lines (see: communism)
Marxist books are an interesting, albeit challenging, read
