Abstract

The article explores the anti-identitarianism of open Marxism, a stream that proposes a negative critical subject that rejects definitions. I question whether this anti-identitarianism is limited to the abolition of class identity or whether it includes other identities linked to other forms of oppressions. I expose that the theorists of open Marxism have an insufficient and ambiguous position on this, which is also not consistent with their own pretensions. I propose that the anti-identitarianism of open Marxism is only coherent if it seeks to abolish all identities. I do this by establishing parallels with feminism and queer theory.
