Counters Derivationism and Essentialism.

r/PostMarxism

Post-Marxism has two related, but different uses: (i) the socio-economic circumstances of Eastern Europe, especially in the ex-soviet republics after the Soviet Union's end; and (ii) the extrapolations of the philosophers and social theorists basing their postulations upon Karl Marx's writings and Marxism proper, thus, passing orthodox Marxism. Recent overviews of post-Marxism are provided by Ernesto Screpanti, Göran Therborn, Gregory Meyerson, Ernesto Laclau, and Chantal Mouffe

Semiology and Discourse

When Roland Barthes began his sustained critique of mass culture via semiology — the science of signs — and the book Mythologies, some Marxist philosophers based their social criticism upon linguistics, semiotics, and discourse. Basing himself upon Barthes' work, Baudrillard's For a Critique of the Political Economy of the Sign criticized contemporary Marxism for ignoring the sign value of their philosophic discourse.
