Not to be confused with Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Neocommunism, Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Neosocialism, or with the fictional ideology of Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Neo-Bolshevism


"One of the most important characteristics of any group that is developing towards dominance is its struggle to assimilate and to conquer “ideologically” the traditional intellectuals, but this assimilation and conquest is made quicker and more efficacious the more the group in question succeeds in simultaneously elaborating its own organic intellectuals."[10]


Neo-Marxism is an ideology that seeks to incorporate new elements from other intellectual traditions into Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination classical Marxism, such as psychoanalysis, critical theory, and sometimes existentialism. Broadly speaking Neo Marxism incorporates Max Weber's understanding of social inequality into Marxist Philosophy. Some of the Most famous Neo-Marxist concepts are Theodore Adorno's and Max Horkheimer Idea of the Culture Industry where they proposed that popular culture is akin to a factory producing standardized cultural goods—films, radio programmes, magazines, etc.—that are used to manipulate mass society into passivity, and Antonio Gramsci's theory of Cultural Hegemony. He is the arch enemy of Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Jordan B. Peterson.

Overall, Neo-Marxism is a broad ideology and umbrella term for a diverse range of heterodox Marxist ideologies, philosophies and schools of thought, including Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Eco-Marxism, Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Situationism, Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Structural Marxism, Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Marxist Feminism, Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Analytic Marxism, Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Post-Marxism, Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Western Marxism, Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Hegelian Marxism, Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Freudo-Marxism, Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination the Frankfurt School, Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Neo-Marxian Economics, Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Autonomism, and many others.

Beliefs

As with many uses of the prefix neo-, some theorists and groups who are designated as neo-Marxists have attempted to supplement the perceived deficiencies of orthodox Marxism or dialectical materialism. Many prominent neo-Marxists, such as Herbert Marcuse and other members of the Frankfurt School, have historically been sociologists and psychologists.

Neo-Marxism comes under the broader framework of the New Left. In a sociological sense, neo-Marxism adds Max Weber's broader understanding of social inequality, such as status and power, to Marxist philosophy. Examples of neo-Marxism include analytical Marxism, French structural Marxism, critical theory, cultural studies, as well as some forms of feminism. Erik Olin Wright's theory of contradictory class locations is an example of the syncretism found in neo-Marxist thought, as it incorporates Weberian sociology, critical criminology, and anarchism.

Neo-Marxists often philosophically synthesis Marxism with other schools of thought as well, usually continental philosophy. Post-Modernism, Structuralism and Post-Structuralism, Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination Nihilism (especially active nihilism), Deconstruction, psychoanalytic theory, branches of Hegelian and Freudian thought as well as many others have all influenced different modern Marxists and their theories which fall under the umbrella of neo-Marxism.

History

Neo-Marxism developed as a result of social and political problems that traditional Marxist theory was unable to sufficiently address. This iteration of thinking tended toward peaceful ideological dissemination, rather than the revolutionary, and often violent, methods of the past. Economically, neo-Marxist leaders moved beyond the era of public outcry over class warfare and attempted to design viable models to solve it.

There are many different branches of neo-Marxism often not in agreement with each other and their theories. Following World War I, some neo-Marxists dissented and later formed the Frankfurt School. The Frankfurt School never identified themselves as neo-Marxists. Toward the end of the 20th century, neo-Marxism and other Marxist theories became anathema in democratic and capitalistic Western cultures, where the term attained negative connotations during the Red Scare. For this reason, social theorists of the same ideology since that time have tended to disassociate themselves from the term neo-Marxism. Examples of such thinkers include David Harvey and Jacque Fresco, with some ambiguity surrounding Noam Chomsky, who has been labelled a neo-Marxist by some, but who personally disagrees with such assessments. Some consider Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination libertarian socialism an example of rebranded neo-Marxism.
