A college-educated vaguely bohemian liberal (usually female and white) who, while shopping for $400 jeans and planning visits to exclusive Vegas nightclubs, espouses Marxist revolution, loves Che and/or anti-WTO protests, and claims empathy for the poor and oppressed as long as they don't move in next door. He or she will have traveled to a relatively safe city in the developing world with Starbucks, like Dubai, Buenos Aires, or Cape Town. Will have a piece of "ethnic" art in his or her condominium and/or suburban house in a gated community.
The border protest was attended by a group of Neiman Marxists who held signs and stayed back on the pavement.

Get the Neiman Marxist mug.A modern day socialist or communist (or general far left individual) who doesn't realize what a failure left-economics are, and persists in proclaiming themselves part of a marxist group, despite wearing a tee shirt from Walmart and drinking Starbucks latte.
It is uncommon to see a Starbucks Marxist who has a degree- and those that do normally hold the title "bachelor of arts in women's studies."
Common amongst Starbucks Marxists is undying love for Hugo Chavez, Che Guevara, Joseph Stalin, or Karl Marx.

John, did you hear that girl? She talks about power struggles for blacks and gays and abolishing 'whiteness' and 'heteronormativity'.
Oh yeah, she's a cultural Marxist. It's best to keep her away from positions of power so she doesn't try to force her ideology on the rest of us.

Get the cultural marxist mug.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.

HyperNormalisation (2016) is a documentary by Adam Curtis that provides an excellent Neo-Marxist analysis of world history between 1975 and 2016.

Get the Neo-Marxist 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.
***The "Limousine Marxist" term was originally coined by Mark Levin.

Get the suburban marxist mug.A neo-marxist is a person who adheres to neo-marxism. Neo-marxism is an offshoot of marxism, in which it is believed that all societal ills come from the divide between the rich (who are claimed to be undeserving of their wealth) and the poor (who are claimed to be oppressed). Marxists believe that all personal failings are of a direct result of someone else oppressing you, and that another person cannot be successful without oppressing another.
Neo-marxism differs from marxism by abandoning the dichotomy of rich vs poor and instead adopt identity politics. Instead of the dichotomy being between wealthy and poor, it is between successful and unsuccessful demographics. Neo-marxists divide all demographics (white, black, asian, male, female, gay, straight, etc) and place them in a hierarchy of oppression as determined by how successful that demographic is. White and Asian men are at the bottom of this hierarchy, whereas blacks and females are near the top (although the exact order is not widely accepted).
Neo-marxists believe that successful demographics are only successful because they exploit the less successful demographics, and as such believe that the more successful demographics (i.e the 'rich' of classical marxism) should be punished in some way, and what they have should be given to the less successful demographics. Typically this involves giving these demographics money, positions, and political influence simply for being a member of a "oppressed" demographic.
