Isn't this really about the neo-right rejecting post-structutalism (Derrida et al) because they simply can't understand it and it gives them anxiety? So they cal it "moral relativism," invoke Marx, and claim the world is stable again.

"Structuralism" although there's a certain Derridean irony in the accidental neologism.

For Marcuse one dimensional men were integrated into the system, selling their soul for a mess of pottage; and making minorities, students and third world peasants the vanguard of revolution. Marcuse believed in stability of capitalism, abandoned working class. Not a Marxist.

In his book/work “Philosophie des Glücks”, his Marxism is shining through at the end ... but not a fundamental Marxist, imo

What's your view of this
@nytimes op-ed which says, approvingly, that race/ gender-based identity politics are rooted in Marxist ideas of class struggle/exploitation? (IIRC, Betty Friedan also described radical feminism--critically--in quasi-Marxian terms as "sex/class warfare")pic.twitter.com/8zWFPzx6DU

There's a difference between feminists/anti-racists/anti-imperialists using Marxist ideas & feminism, anti-racism & anti-imperialism being rooted in Marxism. It's natural for subjected groups to borrow from one of most systematic thinkers on oppression but roots lie elsewhere
