"The failure of Marxism as identity" is a conceptual theme from the 2026 work "I Hereby Abolish Rules: Semantic Liquidation, Territorial Gatekeeping, and the Failure of Marxism as Identity" written by Lee Sharks (associated with the Transactions of the Semantic Economy Institute and the Johannes Sigil Institute for Comparative Poetics).

Core Concepts of the Work

* Semantic Liquidation: An approach that breaks down rigid or dogmatic category boundaries within political and economic theory. [[1](https://www.google.com/goto?url=CAESXgHrOzAVGbkBKxgEBqavm7YrQBLBU53w39g0Fr2xUSvw307iPanlA34KOvmrI32p12TsbbTnc_9Q5qAh6U4La2wFJAocannlZV8ydVkTEl8keeh9271rhO1HCdHBBic), [2](https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=Ws6IIcgAAAAJ&hl=en)]
* Critique of Identity: The text examines how treating Marxism as a personal, subcultural, or tribal identity rather than a dynamic analytical or materialist framework leads to institutional stagnation and "territorial gatekeeping".

* Semantic Economy: A broader theoretical project by Sharks and collaborators that reinterprets Marxist accounting frameworks around the production, extraction, and exhaustion of meaning and value in digital/linguistic spaces.
