Towards the end of the twentieth century, the Soviet Union collapsed, and the Eastern Bloc turned away from Communism. Marxism, discredited by the evidence of history, began to take on new forms, sometimes at odds with its former premises and conclusions. This course explores the development of Marxism from the counterculture of the 1960s to the present day, with
reference to Gramsci, Marcuse, and present-day identity politics.
