Political Marxism (PM) is a strand of Marxist theory that places history at the centre of its analysis.
According to Arnold Hauser, in this system of analysis, one can agree with Marxism as a philosophy of history and society without being a Marxist.
[6] Political Marxism was developed as a reaction against historical models of Marxist analysis in the debate on the origins of capitalism.
In this context, Robert Brenner and Ellen Wood developed political Marxism as a distinct approach to rehistoricize and repoliticize the Marxist project.
[7] Researchers linked with political Marxism today include Benno Teschke,[8] Hannes Lacher,[9] and George Comninel.
