      Marxism implies a dialectical philosophy focusing on economic primacy (yes I know this is broad), and usually implies a dialectical method by way of Hegel

      Post-structuralists, e.g. Deleuze are anti-Hegelian.... Freud, Lacan, Marcuse, view society through a psychoanalytic framework as opposed to economic, though all are “Marxist”, and Nietzsche, who is not a leftist is completely anti-dialectic, as with Bataille, who is an ultra-leftist of the Radical Evil variety, like Sade

      Anyway, point is there’s plenty of philosophy that is either leftist and not Marxist or not leftist but still foundational for leftists (Nietzsche? Spinoza?)
