A Neo-Marxist is someone who, in contrast to Orthodox Marxists, reject the concept of economic determinism; the idea that all of society's decisions are ultimately determined by economic conditions, and that capitalist societies will inevitably collapse due to the capitalist economic system's inherent contradictions. Neo-Marxists believe that society's decisions are determined by ideology as well as economic conditions, and that it is the hegemonic ideology of the bourgeoisie that keeps workers from starting the world revolution that Orthodox Marxists (such as Marx, Engels, Lenin and Stalin, etc) thought was inevitable.
There is controversy over the term, as some thinkers like Noam Chomsky have been described being Neo-Marxist despite preferring to be described as anarcho-syndicalist or libertarian socialist.
While there are many branches of Neo-Marxism that are not always in agreement with eachother, the writings of Antonio Gramsci and scholars at the Frankfurt School are highly influential in Neo-Marxist thought.

Get the Marxist Bernie losers mug.The Limousine Marxist is a far left politician or individual that advocates they are the savior of the poor and underprivileged, yet they ride around in limousines and take advantage of the corporate luxuries that their capitalist society so graciously provides them with.
The Limousine Marxist's voting record and ideas are often in line with Marxist ideas. The stunning hypocrisy in their lifestyle versus what they advocate never even crosses their mind.
They strive to put forth their ideas of oppression and radical Marxism to gain power and wealth, all at the expense of the people, although the people are told they will benefit greatly from the social programs that will cost them trillions in tax dollars. This also falls perfectly in line with the big government regulation and control.
The Limousine Marxist advocates government regulation and control far beyond what is necessary for economic sustainability. They'll tax businesses into the ground that make profits beyond what they deem is 'excessive', they'll tell you what type lightbulbs you can put in your house, they'll tell you what type fuel you can run in your vehicle, they'll tell your children what type foods they can eat in school, they'll tell you what type firearm is acceptable under our Constitution, and they'll even go as far as defining when the moment of life begins, despite the science.

Barack Hussein Obama uses phrases from the communist manifesto in his speeches, but the moderate and youth democratic voters are blinded by the media-glamorized aura of him to see the Limousine Marxist position he stands for.
