In a [[Sociology | sociological]] sense, neo-Marxism adds Max Weber's broader understanding of [[Social inequality | social inequality]], such as [[Social status | status]] and [[Power (social and political) | power]], to [[Marxist philosophy]]. - As with many uses of the prefix neo-, some theorists and groups who are designated as neo-Marxists have attempted to supplement the perceived deficiencies of [[Orthodox Marxism | orthodox Marxism]] or [[Dialectical materialism | dialectical materialism]]. Many prominent neo-Marxists, such as [[Herbert Marcuse]] and other members of the [[Frankfurt School]], have historically been sociologists and [[Psychologist | psychologists]]. - Examples of neo-Marxism include [[Analytical Marxism | analytical Marxism]], French [[Structural Marxism | structural Marxism]], [[Political Marxism | political Marxism]], critical theory, [[Cultural studies | cultural studies]], as well as some forms of [[Feminism | feminism]]. Erik Olin Wright's theory of contradictory class locations is an example of the [[Syncretism | syncretism]] found in neo-Marxist thought, as it incorporates Weberian sociology, and [[Critical criminology | critical criminology]]. - There is some ambiguity surrounding the difference between neo-Marxism and [[Post-Marxism | post-Marxism]], with many thinkers being considered both.
