They're anti capitalism too but not replacing this with marxism

Communists do. Not ppl who think communist bliss is actually oppressive system

No. But this doesn't mean they support communism

This is interesting, are there examples of Marxist academics attacking identity-pol left?
-
Postmodernists, particularly Lyotard, attacked Marxism specifically. It was a main target. However, re: 'academics' important to note...

... a central criticism of PoMo by Marxists is that it enabled an intellectual elite to dominate Leftism rather than working class thinkers

Before this, Leftist thought was not centred in the universities. The version that exists there now, they say, is bourgeois pseudo-leftism.

Very interesting, I'll look more into this. Thank you very much!

@icarianne2 knows most about Marxist criticism of postmodernism and might be able to recommend some good sources. :)
