This sociology went beyond the critical theory of society concived by Marx in order to reflect reality more adequately. One point is very important. For Marx had the ideal of a society of free human beings. He believed that this capitalist society would necessarily have to be overcome by the solidarity spelled by the increasing immiseration of the working class. This idea is wrong. This society in which we live does not immiserate the workers but helps them to build a better life. And apart from that. Marx did not see that freedom and justice are dialectical concepts. The more freedom, the less justice and the more justice, the less freedom. The critical theory which I concieved later is based on the idea that one cannot determine, what is good, what a good, a free society would look like from within the society which we live in. We lack the means. But in our work we can bring up the negative aspects of this society, which we want to change.â
Emphasis mine. By âthis sociologyâ he is referring to Critical Theory.
Want to see another example? Look at how ANTIFA defines âfascismâ. Itâs not Mussoliniâs definition.
Neo-Marxists are trying to form a new proletariat based on identity.

no capitalism is not perfect. no system is so some management is needed. people do get greedy. any system needs guide rails.
âsocialismâ is not the right system to keep capitalism in check though. esp since it suffers from the same ills, and is exploited by the ârulingâ class.
itâd be nice if the justice system werenât tiered like it is. but i dont want to complicate the topic. Most hard workers running an honest business get crucified if they arenât in perfect compliance while gross corruption goes on in other circles.
remember âsorbanes-oxley?â. the quintessential congressional knee jerk reaction to high level corruption. all it did was punish all the smaller corps who follow the rules
