how aware was Latour of Marxist influence on his work? most of what you described as ANT seems very reminiscent of whats called dialectical/historical materialism

Latour pretty explicitely thinks of himself as a post Marxist - one of his latest work was "la nouvelle classe ecologique" where he was making the point that environmental questions were the new Class Struggle and his work a continuation of Marxism in another context.

Marxist intellectuals have been accusing him and his followers of using marxist tools while giving up on anti-capitalism
