However, oppression takes many different forms, some of them considerably older and more deep-rooted than wage slavery.Īmong the most universal and painful forms of oppression is the oppression of women in a male-dominated world. The central contradiction in society remains the antagonism between wage labour and capital. The crisis of capitalism has exposed many deep-seated currents of opposition to the existing society, its values, its morality and its intolerable injustices and oppression. This document is a call to intensify the theoretical and political struggle against these ideas and methods. Its aim is to draw a line between Marxism and a set of idealistic and postmodernist alien class ideas, which have affected for some time a layer of activists in academic circles and are also being used in a reactionary manner within the international workers' movement. This document, after a thorough discussion at all levels of the International Marxist Tendency over the past year, was approved unanimously by the IMT World Congress held at the end of July 2018 with the original title Marxist Theory and The Struggle Against Alien Class Ideas.
