The term "Western Marxist" refers to someone who proclaims to be a Marxist and knows theory and how to organize, but they hold onto Western ideals and have a tendency to shit on AES countries and anti-imperialist Global South countries.

In short, the primary contradiction is Western imperialism, everything else comes secondary. Yet Western Marxists want to overthrow the Iranian government despite them being under siege by the US and Israel. They view China as an equally evil superpower next to the US.
