Though I would identify as a left-wing liberal, I personally really enjoyed insights I received from reading Gerald Cohen, Erik Olin Wright, Jon Elster and John Roemer. Haven't read many other contemporary Marxists yet unfortunately.

whats the point of continuing the postmodernist and modernist dialogue?
We are seeing many premodernist and reactionary thoughts reappearing in the current field
Shouldn't theory that abandons modernity start again before the abandonment of history?
metamodernism and its infinite self reflection is giving way to nothing

mean have you tried bringing up nietzsche or any western philosopher for that matter around your local lgbtqia marxist cattle? In no time you will see their little stupid cowlike eyes light up in panic. Soon enough they will start with the usual subhuman bleating "wasnt he sexist? Arent you being dangerously eurocentric? Why read books by dead white men when you could have been streaming the latest diverse and inclusive workplace comedies at netflix hulu and disneygo? Didnt you know reading is ableist towards people who are too retarded to read? Have you been taking your SSRIs and HRT? it is very important that you take the medication dr goldstein prescribed otherwise we will have to report you to corporate for mandatory sensitivity training".
