If you’re genuinely interested in the ideology of Antifa, then read this.

They’re not Orthodox Marxist, nobody is because Marx is as debunked as Freud. This is why you actually see Antifa get into fights with Maoist Red Guard organizations or Stalinist Tankies.

So, neo-Marxism is Marxian but not Marxist, in that it continues the conflict theory-style analysis of Marx into a different realm and does so toward essentially Marxist ends. One could say this is a distinction without a difference, but that is incorrect. The consequence of this shift is profound. It means that rather than attempting to unite workers and seize the means of economic production, as the Marxists had envisioned, the neo-Marxists wanted to change culture itself. …
This James Lindsay fellow has no clue about the original Marxism—Marx and Engels absolutely did and do want to change culture itself. What else could abolishing the family, private property, religion and borders have as a goal?—because that is way, way beyond mere economics. Is there even a distinction? I say no. The Manifesto called communism “the most radical rupture with traditional property relations; no wonder that its development involved the most radical rupture with traditional ideas—which indicates that the irrevocable alteration of culture was intertwined from the start.
