Right-Wing Marxism

It is a reinterpretation of Karl Marx's philosophy from a right-wing point of view.

It consists of reinforcing the entrepreneur's surplus value to guarantee the production of the bourgeoisie (which invests and risks its money) and the employment of the proletarian class (which needs work in order to become a bourgeois), protecting the infrastructure and superstructure of the means of production. To this end, a Strong State would be created to protect private property and invest in new ventures, forming the Capital Dictatorship. Therefore, social classes would be practically abolished, due to the improvement in the quality of life, forming an economically homogeneous society. The final stage of this process would be anarcho-capitalism or right-wing anarchism, with the extinction of the state, public offices and taxes.

Right-Wing Marxism it's the easiest way to a free society.

Sustainable Development Marxism

A theoretical synthesis that applies Marxist analysis to the contradictions of sustainable development under capitalism. It argues that the dominant "green growth" paradigm is an oxymoron: you cannot have infinite accumulation on a finite planet. Sustainable Development Marxism exposes how corporate sustainability initiatives function as accumulation by sequestration—privatizing the atmosphere through carbon markets, commodifying ecosystem services, and greenwashing extraction. Yet it moves beyond critique to construct a positive program: democratic planning of production for genuine human need, the decommodification of nature, and the reduction of the working day as the ultimate environmental policy. It insists that ecological sustainability is impossible without socialism, and socialism is impossible without ecological consciousness.

Sustainable Development Marxism *Example: A Sustainable Development Marxist analyzes a corporation's "net zero by 2050" pledge. They note the reliance on unproven carbon capture technology, the offshoring of emissions to the Global South, and the continued expansion of fossil fuel infrastructure. They contrast this with a vision of publicly owned, democratically controlled renewable energy grids; free, high-quality public transit; and a planned transition that guarantees employment and retraining for displaced fossil workers. The former is sustainability as public relations; the latter is sustainability as class struggle.*

21st Century Marxism

A living, evolving theoretical tradition that applies Marx's method to the specific material conditions of the contemporary moment: digital monopoly capitalism, the climate crisis, the platform economy, and the resurgence of neofascism. It rejects the notion that Marxism is a relic of the 19th century, frozen in the pages of Capital, and instead treats it as a toolkit for diagnosing the present. 21st Century Marxism analyzes how Big Tech extracts data as a new form of primitive accumulation; how social media algorithms proletarianize attention; how the military-entertainment complex colonizes consciousness; and how the post-2008 world has normalized precarity as a permanent condition. It also delivers a devastating verdict on the contemporary right: that neoliberalism has exhausted its reformist facade and is decaying openly into neofascism, with the thin veneer of liberal democracy cracking across the Global North.

21st Century Marxism *Example: A 21st Century Marxist examines TikTok. They don't moralize about screen time. They analyze the platform as a digital factory: users perform unpaid labor generating content and data, which is algorithmically sorted and sold to advertisers. The "For You Page" is not entertainment; it is a continuous workflow. The dopamine hits are not pleasure; they are piece-rate wages. The theory further notes that this digital factory coexists with the resurgence of open white supremacy, seeing both as symptoms of a capitalism that can no longer stabilize itself through reform.*

Third Millennium Marxism

An extension of 21st Century Marxism with a civilizational timescale. It shifts the analytical horizon from quarterly earnings reports and election cycles to the survival of the human species and the planetary ecosystem over the next thousand years. Third Millennium Marxism confronts the long-term contradictions of capitalism: that a system predicated on endless growth will inevitably collide with thermodynamic limits; that technological "fixes" for climate change (geoengineering, space colonization) are themselves capitalist fantasies of escaping responsibility; that without a fundamental reorganization of production and consumption, ecological collapse is not a prediction but a certainty. It integrates the UN Sustainable Development Goals into a Marxist framework, not as aspirational targets to be met within capitalism, but as a checklist of capitalism's failures and a blueprint for what a post-capitalist society must achieve. It is Marxism with its eyes on the horizon, planning the centuries-long transition to a society of substantive equality and ecological balance.

Third Millennium Marxism Example: A Third Millennium Marxist evaluates a proposal for solar geoengineering. They note that it addresses the symptom (rising temperatures) while leaving the cause (capitalist production relations) untouched. They argue that such technologies concentrate unprecedented power over the global climate in the hands of whoever controls the sulfur-spraying aircraft—likely states or corporations with no democratic accountability. Their alternative is not a technological fix but a political transformation: global democratic planning for rapid decarbonization, the restoration of ecosystems, and the radical reduction of energy consumption in the Global North. This is a project not for the next quarter but for the next century—and the century after that.

Business Development Marxism

A pragmatic, non-dogmatic current that seeks to deploy Marxist analysis as a competitive advantage within capitalist enterprises. It sounds like an oxymoron—Marxism as a management tool—but its proponents argue that understanding surplus value extraction makes you a better operations manager; that grasping the contradictions of labor exploitation helps you design more resilient supply chains; that recognizing the alienation inherent in Taylorist work organization allows you to build more cohesive, innovative teams. Business Development Marxism does not pretend that consulting for a corporation is revolutionary praxis. It is, rather, a strategic compromise: use the tools of the master to improve conditions within the house, build worker power, and perhaps, over the long term, lay the foundations for something else. It is Gramsci's "war of position" fought in boardrooms and R&D departments.

Business Development Marxism Example: A Business Development Marxist works as a product manager at a logistics startup. She uses Marx's distinction between concrete and abstract labor to reframe the company's efficiency metrics: instead of optimizing solely for speed (abstract labor time), she advocates for metrics that capture skill development, worker autonomy, and job satisfaction (concrete labor quality). She introduces co-determination practices in her team, arguing that flat hierarchies reduce turnover and increase innovation. She does not call this socialism; she calls it "agile management." Her colleagues think she's an excellent executive. She is, in her own estimation, a mole.
