Marxism is alive and well.
No one is trying to unite the workers of the world to seize the means of production. Post-modernism was a rejection of grand meta-narratives, including the dialectic of historical materialism. Progressives have moved beyond that too as they have a crafted new meta-narratives. While there are similarities in structure, the left is not Marxist. Gottfried has pointed out the structural similarities to Calvinism, but, outside of Moldbug, no one is calling these people Calvinists, and even Yarvin has given up on that.
Fine. Neo-marxism then, or cultural marxism.
Too specific. Think of it like this:
Marx believed and professed that there were, largely, two groups of people. One with property (to him this was capital) and one without. For him, those with property i.e capital (bourgeoisie) engaged in a system, capitalism, to exclude others from obtaining this property that afforded them the better life.
When you think of it this way, it absolutely is still alive and well and used knowingly and unknowingly in a myriad of ways.
For example, whiteness. Those with this property i.e. whiteness engage in a system, white supremacy, to exclude those without this property from enjoying its benefits.
You can apply this framework to anything and it's exactly what they're doing. That thing is Critical Theory, and that is Marxism.
Aha, but they are. They are uniting them under the banner of SJWisms to fight eachother, and also the productive workers, who happen to be of different political beliefs than them. this is the start of a political oligarch grabbing power to transform into a dictatorship.
A) The means of production are already seized by the people and have been since FDR. Who owns Disney? Google? Amazon? Exxon? Pfizer? Lockheed?
B) You've been living in a totalitarian state your entire life. The only thing that has changed is that the mind control machine is becoming visible, which is a whitepill because that means it is dying.
What do you mean " seized by the people" ?
seize as in seizure, (it has destroyed production)
