Yep. He sought to move classical (materialist) Marxism from "seize the means of _production_" to "seize the means of _cultural_ production"--hence the term, 'cultural Marxism.' He put the crosshairs on five key 'centers of cultural production': family, religion, education, media, and law--which could be a chapter list for a documentray on the Western 'culture wars' for the past ~65 years.
The Frankfurt Schoolers asked the question, why do people submit to authority (why did the proletariat still go fight and die, in these recent world wars, for the bourgousie)? That's when they turned from outward circumstances to the 'production' of inward circumstances--that is, they turned to Freudian psychology. The answer they got? 'Love of father' and the nuclear family. "Down with patriarchy!"
Marx + Freud = Frankfurt School. At least, as I understand it.
