Critical theory? I feel an analysis of power structures - what they are, how they come about - is a pretty useful arrow to the bow of the study of a society (as in, any collection of people, not exclusive to a nation, etc). But I draw an analogy to the 1980s when 'trickle down' policies were called "the economic argument" - indeed an economic argument but hardly closed-book economic proof and there's plenty of opposing economic argument. It was a political agenda painted under an economic slogan to fool many (and even fool many into promoting). Likewise Critical Theory: a useful tool but only one of many and to paint it as the analysis a political agenda (again，fooling many into not only believing but promoting). Modern (can't say Neo, some terms get camped aggressively) takes on critical theory can be a bit removed from Marx, or can be close, but to knee jerk against it completely just coz one doesn't like some of the users feels like denial for the sake of it, and in the end means missing out just like those that stick to one theory to rule them all miss out on the othrs.
