Wright, Levine & Sober's "Reconstructing Marxism" (1992) is a brilliant book. But we need to think harder than WLS do about how to steer away from left identitarianism and reconstruct class politics.
Interesting how a book written in a completely different philosophical idiom could come to pretty much the same conclusions as Leclau and Mouffe’s Hegemony and Socialist Strategy. It is almost as though it is not the consciousness of philosophically-sophisticated intellectuals that determine their being, but, on the contrary, their social being that determines their consciousness.
