Help me debunk post-modernist Marxism in a college course
(lemmygrad.ml)
Hello! This is my first post on Lemmygrad.
I have a lesson from my Literature Theory class in college about Marxist analysis. It has some stuff about "British Cultural Materialism", "American New Historicism" and calls Simone de Beauvoir a Marxist among other things. I have a basic understanding of ML theory, though not enough to properly counter what is being said here.
The lesson is in PDF form, but I formatted it to Markdown and uploaded it to PrivateBin, here. I will also attach a screenshot showing the final questions regarding the lesson.
What points are there to be made against what is written there? It often feels like idealism and the lesson itself is filled with pseudo-Marxists.
Thank you comrades!
A wise advise. Most people do not follow it, they are driven by their prejudices and beliefs with no corrections by observation. I fail to follow it frequently. But this is human nature, since it is more mentally economical (i.e., lazy).
