Our cultural hegemony, or rather a particular aspect of it, is designed to dissuade Marxists from doing the most impactful thing they can do at this stage in the class struggle: bring anti-imperialist ideas to the people by any means necessary. This is the part of the cultural hegemony that exists specifically within the modern USA’s “left” spaces, and that’s been cultivated to prevent those in these spaces from nurturing the anti-imperialist impulses of the workers. Which is an essential ingredient to building a relationship with the people, and to rallying the people towards asserting their material interests.
I'm curious why you choose to say "Russian's action in Ukraine" vs. acknowledging that it is an outright invasion, an imperialist war intended to dominate a country that was assumed as weaker. Acknowledging such things doesn't dilute the value of Soviet/Russian ideas, but the downplaying of them definitely takes my attention away from the point of your article.
