AThe working class has not evolved into a revolutionary movement
BEconomic class interests are relatively autonomous from ideology and politics
CThe working class holds no basic position within socialism
DAll of the above ✓ Correct
Answer: D
Explanation
★Post-Marxism is an approach that reinterprets Marx, moving beyond the determinism of orthodox Marxism, so all of the listed statements hold.
★It denies that the working class has automatically evolved into a unified revolutionary movement as classical Marxism expected.
★It treats economic class interests as relatively autonomous from ideology and politics, rather than as their simple base.
★And it rejects the idea that the working class must hold the single basic position within socialism.
★Thinkers like Laclau and Mouffe recast politics around plural identities and discourse rather than a fixed class essence.
★So all of the above is the correct answer.
