Abstract

Post-Marxism(PM) is the new Marxist thought posterior to Western Marxism.Sharing the same theoretical origins with Western Marxism,PM identifies itself with the values of Marxism to a certain extent,but it advocates transcending traditional Marxism.Its strong critical attitude towards modern capitalism shows that PM and Western Marxism share some commonality and continuity.However,as PM is established on the basis of Post-modernism and has the tendency to deconstruct Marxism,it deviates further from traditional Marxism than Western Marxism.
