When did "neo-marxism" become a slur? Did people just stick "neo" in the front for no reason? Are there people who refer to themselves as "neo-marxists" or is it just some word that goes next to "postmodernism" and "third wave feminism" as words that make people mad but have been completely detached from their actual meaning.

"Marxism" is actually really out of style in modern left leaning academic and social justice activism circles, since it focuses on exactly one axis of oppression.
