"Cancel culture" is a funny term in English because cancel can be read as a modifier (and usually is) or as a verb. The translation of the German verb "aufheben" is often rendered as "cancel." Aufheben der Kultur (cancel/abolish/sublate the culture) was the Neo-Marxist goal.
Critical Theory was invented to achieve aufheben der Kultur, which is translated in Marxist literature as "sublate the (existing) culture," i.e., criticize it ruthlessly until it is demoralized so that a Marxist counter-culture can step in and achieve its revolution.

15 OCT AUFHEBEN DER KULTUR – CANCEL CULTURE
Posted at 11:34h in More Issues by Kathleen Marquardt
As Antonio Gramsci wrote in his prison notebooks, “Any country grounded in Judaeo-Christian values can’t be overthrown until those roots are cut … Socialism is precisely the religion that must overwhelm Christianity … in the new order, Socialism will triumph by first capturing the culture via infiltration of schools, universities, churches and the media by transforming the consciousness of society.” That, to me, seems a very up-front answer.
...Capitalism is the zenith of this domination; within it there is no class which, by virtue of its position in production, is called upon to create culture.” This is unacceptable to communism. We must have what Marxists call a truly equal society; that “communism aims at creating a social order in which everyone is able to live in a way that in precapitalist eras was possible only for the ruing classes and which in capitalism is possible for no class”. Capitalism must be destroyed to bring about this totally communist society, which creates a social order in which everyone is able to create culture. “It is at that point that the history of mankind will actually begin.” Everything before it will be erased. This new epoch, “the rule of civilization will then be known as the second ‘prehistoric’ period.”
The seed of Cancel Culture was planted by French Philosopher, Rene’ Descartes, who believed that all his beliefs should be erased and he would rethink everything rationally; that knowledge comes from logic and a certain kind of intuition—when we immediately know something to be true without deduction, such as “I think, therefore, I am”. Using this as a basis, Jean Jacques Rosseau, Hebert Marcuse, Georg Lukacs, and many more began philosophizing on and began to carry out the cancellation of all previous culture and rewrite a new, communist one. Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Karl Marx, Antonia Gramsci, Martin Heidigger, and many more worked to build an incredible structure to imbed this into every aspect of our lives. They were followed by Dewey, Rockefeller, Vanderbilt, Rhodes, the Royals, Rothschilds, Gates, Maurice Strong, Soros, Bushes, Obama, Gore, and so many more have or are working to end the right to property and individual freedom, to redistribute the wealth, and to reduce the population.
Here is how they are doing it. They invent a problem, say there is systemic racism (which isn’t actually a problem, but few of their so-called problems actually exist – think global warming), but over months or years of “incidents”, and years of brainwashing in the schools, voila, the thesis; get more of the people worked up over it (you might have to hire thugs and arsonists), maybe even rioting, destruction of property and even murder, and now you demand redress, the synthesis – usually by the government and usually demanding something that would never have been acceptable, even just months ago, such as shutting down the police and giving rioters compensation for their time and work, and we get the antithesis – the Hegelian Dialectic made into a political tool. This is done over and over until we reach the ultimate antithesis, or Nirvana – better known as communism. Keep going, we have a whole culture to cancel. Demand statues to be torn down. They represent slave owners, warmongers, people who suppressed equality for LGBTQ communities, even though there were no L or G communities when the figure was alive, let alone BTQXYZ. Many of those statues represent people who dreamed up, wrote down, and helped create the Great American Dream as well as helped eradicate slavery.
These steps of thesis, antithesis, and synthesis are repeated over and over (white privilege, sexism, reparations for slavery), until society has been perfected into communism. Now you have just canceled the world’s greatest culture, and, as Lukacs’ said, “the real history of mankind begins. And how can we say otherwise? We no long have history books, statues, founding documents to show that there had ever been another culture here.
This isn’t the end. Even the Marxists admit that the people will want freedom down the line. But, perhaps, by eradicating Christianity and having ‘schooling’ now being the perfect programming centers, they may keep control for a very long time.
The destruction of our statues, the re-naming of buildings, streets, and even towns, and the burning of books to erase our history. All this is being done for two reasons, 1. To erase our culture, and 2. To push us until we won’t take any more and stand up – thus kicking off the civil war the Left has been pushing for over the past several years, since Ferguson.

In The Old Culture And The New Culture, Georg Lukacs explains the problem with capitalism and why it must be defeated: “Every old culture was the culture of the ruling classes; only they were in a position to place all their valuable abilities in the service of culture, independently of concern for subsistence.” But capitalism came along and “revolutionized the whole social order …capitalism drove the ruling class itself into the service of production”. Now, the ruling class is just like the rest of us, “forced to devote its energies to the struggle for profit. Civilization creates the rule of man over nature but in the process man himself falls under the rule of the very means that enabled him to dominate nature. Capitalism is the zenith of this domination; within it there is no class which, by virtue of its position in production, is called upon to create culture.” This is unacceptable to communism. We must have what Marxists call a truly equal society; that “communism aims at creating a social order in which everyone is able to live in a way that in precapitalist eras was possible only for the ruing classes and which in capitalism is possible for no class”. Capitalism must be destroyed to bring about this totally communist society, which creates a social order in which everyone is able to create culture. “It is at that point that the history of mankind will actually begin.” Everything before it will be erased.
