For those coming of awareness in the 80s in the US, there were a few figures that carried marxism alive, Michael Sprinker, Stanley Aronwitz, and Fredric Jameson. Even David Harvey admits his global recognition came from his response to Jameson on postmodernity.

seems like a good time to re-up this excellent Harper's Magazine piece on Fredric Jameson: harpers.org/archive/2024/0…
