What does it mean? Is there no more extraction of surplus value? Is there no longer the relentless cheapening of commodities, the drumbeat of competition proclaiming "March! March!," the commodification of everything, the rule of money, etc.?
I like the use of the definite article, though - there's only one post-Marxist age, and we live in it! Aren't we lucky?
