Couple things about neo-Marxists, first they know little of Marxism, as they're just in it for the power over others. Secondly, that which they cant control they seek to destroy. Oddly enough, that which they can control, they destroy as well. Kinda like human locusts. Or fire ants.

A reading of Marx is not required. To over-simplify the matter, neo-Marxism abandoned the class struggle for the "liberation of oppressed minorities." Adorno and Marcuse are the main neo-Marxist political theorists. Critical studies is its vector within universities, outside the academy from K-graduate school, DIE policies in HR departments everywhere and the trans-sexual/gay political lobby are the main areas where the theory is put into practice.

You people have it all wrong. If you want a generation to grow up despising Neo-Marxists, introduce Marcuse and Adorno into the 5th-grade curriculum.

Gotta admit, that would do it.

Of course if you "deconstruct" these theories further, its all just one person thinking they know best about how other folks need to live their lives. The justifications are endlessly recycled through academe. It is second oldest profession. And not 2nd by much.
