Jacobin has published a piece arguing that Marxism is best understood as a social theory about how the world works and how to change it, centered on class and exploitation. The article contends that anyone committed to understanding and changing the world should consider themselves a Marxist, framing the label as a matter of analysis and commitment rather than doctrine.
Why now: The piece makes a broad, provocative claim about who should adopt the Marxist label, sparking debate on the left.
