Abstract

Post-modernism cultural Marxism, a Western Marxist trend of thought that has emerged and had extensive influence under the new historical conditions where significant change has taken place in contemporary capitalism, has quickly become a critical cultural trend that questions the mainstream values of Western modern society. It deconstructs traditional philosophy in a radical way. The cultural questioning of the rational foundation of capitalism and the promotion of its differential philosophy to contemporary multiculturalism is close to the revolutionary critical spirit of Marxism in theoretical nature. The achievements of cultural critical theory of post-modernism cultural Marxist are mainly manifested in the inheritance of the critical spirit of Marxism, the excellent phenomenological and pathological analysis of the new development of contemporary capitalism, and the richness of Marxist innovation space in the West. Its defects are manifested in the internal conflict of theoretical content, the deviation of theoretical essence from historical materialism, and anarchism in politics.
