And who are these marxists? The usual suspects - Callinicos, Wood, Eagleton, etc. - who have written critically about postmodernism? A few folks on e-lists (where sovereign individualism reigns)? And which e-lists? I used to sub to bunches of them where self-identified marxists uttered nary a sound about postmodernism/postmodernists. Nor have most marxists I've known and worked with outside academia and 'left intellectual' circles ever sat around and agonized over postmodernism. In any event, postmodernism is sooo '80s.

If only there were 'a lot of marxists'... Michael Hoover
