The turn to ‘community’ as a governing strategy both seeks to accommodate diversity while at the same time separating it from the politics that shaped it. Similarly the idea of the nation as a ‘community of communities’ provides a way of governing difference while at the same time erasing the kinds of difference that might challenge the current politic-cultural project.

Particularly outstanding characteristics of this popular Marxism were an often rather crude economism (ideology and politics reduced to a direct and conscious transmission of economic interests), as well as a pronounced historical determinism that viewed the end of capitalism and the proletarian revolution as inevitable occurrences.
