After nearly a year of navigating socialist/communist communities like this one, I've noticed that the dissection of capitalist culture throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries from a Marxist perspective does not get discussed too often. When I make an effort to try to find resources on this topic, I'm usually suggested Gramsci's work, which, despite my love for it, inevitably seems a bit... outdated. I've also been suggested to look into the Frankfurt School thinkers like Adorno and Marcuse, whose ideas have no doubt intrigued me, but it seems like many communists dismiss their ideas because they navigate a scholarly realm that is petty-bourgeois in nature and therefore does nothing to aid the proletariat, so admittedly I'm a bit hesitant in becoming too attached to their ideas.

Maybe it's my curiosity in philosophy, but despite the use of the term 'cultural marxism' by the likes of Jordan Peterson, I still sorta think that the analyzation of modern capitalist culture deserves at least a little more discussion among leftist circles because a Marxist dissection of this culture can be perspective-changing for potential leftists - a prime example of someone who did this very well was Mark Fisher in Capitalist Realism.

Are there any theorists that navigate in this realm of Marxism, or am I wrong in exploring this area entirely..?
