I have no idea what it is, and whenever I read anything about it, I get more confused.

Magical Marxism demands something more of orthodox Marxism - something more interesting and liberating. It asks that we imagine a Marxism that moves beyond debates about class, the role of the state and the dictatorship of the proletariat. In escaping the formalist straitjacket of typical Marxist critique, Merrifield argues for a reconsideration of Marxism and its potential, applying previously unexplored approaches to Marxist thinking that will reveal vital new modes of political activism and debate.

Like wtf is going on in the Anglo world?

    Literally marxism, but its just 100% idealism, if you think very hard about communism, do an funny dance, swing an magic item, say some funny words, press the communism button and use the power of friendship, then communism will be achieved just like that!

      No one denies that communism requires some sacrifices. Famines, genocides, purges, totalitarianism, secret police, ethnic cleansing, and hard labor camps are just the price we have to pay for utopia.

      Don’t you want utopia?
