Marxist Social Sciences

An umbrella term for social science approaches grounded in Marxist theory—analyzing society through the lens of class, mode of production, historical materialism, and critique of capitalism. Marxist Social Sciences include Marxist sociology, Marxist economics, Marxist political science, Marxist history, and others—all united by the commitment to understanding society as shaped by material conditions, class struggle, and the dynamics of capitalism. They don't just describe society; they analyze its contradictions, its injustices, and its possibilities for transformation. Marxist Social Sciences are both analytical and political—understanding the world to change it.
"Mainstream economics assumes capitalism is natural; Marxist economics asks how capitalism works, who benefits, and what alternatives exist. That's Marxist Social Sciences: not just describing, but critiquing. Not just understanding, but transforming. Social science without critique is just documentation; critique without social science is just opinion. Marxism insists on both."

Marxist Human Sciences

A broad framework applying Marxist analysis to all disciplines studying human life—history, psychology, sociology, anthropology, and more. Marxist Human Sciences examine how modes of production shape human consciousness, how class relations structure human experience, and how human liberation requires transforming both society and self. They draw on Marx's early writings on alienation, his later critiques of political economy, and subsequent Marxist traditions in philosophy, psychology, and cultural theory. Marxist Human Sciences insist that understanding humans requires understanding the societies that make us, and that changing those societies is part of becoming fully human.
"Capitalism makes us see ourselves as isolated individuals competing for scarce resources. Marxist Human Sciences ask: is that human nature, or capitalism's nature? Could we be different in a different society? The human sciences study humans; Marxist human sciences study how humans are made and remade by history. Not just describing what we are, but asking what we could become."

Marxist Postmodernism

A synthesis of Marxist and postmodern thought, seeking to combine Marxism's focus on material conditions and class struggle with postmodernism's attention to discourse, identity, and power. Marxist Postmodernism critiques both orthodox Marxism (for its economic determinism and grand narratives) and mainstream postmodernism (for its neglect of material conditions). It insists that class matters, that capitalism structures reality, that material conditions shape discourse—while acknowledging that discourse, identity, and culture also shape material conditions. Marxist Postmodernism is the philosophy of those who want to change the world and understand why it's so hard to change.
Example: "He couldn't choose between Marx and Foucault—both seemed essential. Marxist Postmodernism let him hold both: material conditions mattered, but so did discourse; class was real, but so was identity. Capitalism structured reality, but reality was also constructed. He had the tools to analyze and the commitment to change."

Oedipal Marxism

Oedipal Marxism is a paradigm in which the profit motive is the discrete unit-of-fear of mother has that her son will own property.
A tribe is a psychostructure of woman's fear that her son will lose interest in the law and pursue property.

Hence Oedipal Marxism.

Marxism discretizes this fear into a unit-of-fear. The superstructure of capitalism is the sum of the mother's fears.

Communism resolves this apprehension between mother & son into a climax of communion or Communism.

Anarcho Marxism Liberalism with Vaushist Characteristics

Like Marxism, It advocates for the removal of not just capitalism through the means of a worker revolution, but the state as a whole. Its economy will be nonexistent, everyone will starve, and the happiness will be nothing but zero. The only source of Income will be through debate streams with Popular Alt Right Figure, Steven The Swastika Bonnell II, and through interactions with Known Jew Liberal Ian Kochinski. The only topics will be how everyone is just a clone of the other, and they will both defend paedophilia, citing out of context clips as the main reason for being villified. But they're very different people. Probably.
"Hey Man, this whole nazism and socialism thing is cringe. How about we study Anarcho Marxism Liberalism with Vaushist Characteristics?."

"Bro, are you a fag?."
