What’s neo-marxist and brand shopping? [/quote]

Neo-Marxism is a Marxist school of thought originating from 20th-century approaches to amend or extend Marxism and Marxist theory, typically by incorporating elements from other intellectual traditions such as critical theory, psychoanalysis, or existentialism. Neo-Marxism comes under the broader framework of the New Left. In a sociological sense, neo-Marxism adds Max Weber's broader understanding of social inequality, such as status and power, to Marxist philosophy.

Following World War I, some neo-Marxists dissented and later formed the Frankfurt School. The Frankfurt School never identified themselves as neo-Marxists. Toward the end of the 20th century, neo-Marxism and other Marxist theories became anathema in democratic and capitalistic Western cultures, where the term attained negative connotations during the Red Scare. For this reason, social theorists of the same ideology since that time have tended to disassociate themselves from the term neo-Marxism.

Shop branding involves creating a unique identity for a retail store. This includes developing a name, logo, and overall look and feel that will make the store stand out from the competition. The goal is to attract customers and create loyalty.

Both of these label are rarely used to describe one entity because one is a derivative of Marxism from around 1900-1950 in the US and the other is a derivative of capitalism used in business schools and marketing. [/quote]
