In 2009, many of these advocates contributed to the three-day conference, "The Idea of Communism", in London that drew a substantial paying audience. Journals such as Endnotes, Salvage, Ebb Magazine Kites and Historical Materialism launched with communist outlooks, as well as news outlets such as Novara Media.

Elle considère que les problèmes sociaux sont créés et influencés davantage par des structures sociétales et des présupposés culturels que par des facteurs individuels ou psychologiques. La théorie critique a été établie comme une école de pensée soutenant que l'idéologie est le principal obstacle à la libération humaine.

Social theories are analytical frameworks, or paradigms, that are used to study and interpret social phenomena. A tool used by social scientists, social theories relate to historical debates over the validity and reliability of different methodologies (e.g. positivism and antipositivism), the primacy of either structure or agency, as well as the relationship between contingency and necessity.
