Democratic Socialists claim the Socialism today is different from the “Old School” of the past, and in many ways they are correct. Every ideology changes over time and one would expect changes in the expression of Socialism over the last century. As the 20th Century came to a close, the world became aware of the genocide practiced in Socialist countries and the failures of every Socialist economy. With that, it became clear that Socialism as it had been practiced, was a complete and total failure. But Post Modern philosophers weren't ready to give up on the ideas of Karl Marx. They agreed that Capitalist societies were the source of all oppression and exploitation, but the oppression came not from the accumulation of wealth, but of power. Power is the ability to control or influence others in society by the use of coercion or force and it doesn't require some one to be wealthy in order to use it. In the minds of Michele Foucault and Jacques Derrida, power existed in every institution of society resulting in violence and exploitation. The new Marxist revolutions would attack political and social institutions to expose this violence through a new movement of people who embraced the ideas of Marx. This movement has come to be known as Identity Politics and the quest for Social Justice justice. It has the potential to shape the 20th century as profoundly as the 21st.
