Abstract
The failure of classical Marxist social theory is nowhere more clearly demonstrated than in the face of the bureaucratic centralist societies that use Marxism as their “science” of legitimation. The project of a critical social theory demands the immanent critique of all Marxist and neo-Marxist attempts to theorize this new social formation, but this is as yet an unfulfilled task. For now, only some hypotheses are possible regarding the failure of the whole set of approaches, and these are best organized around five fundamental components of the classical theory.
