Here comes the pretentious overlord of champagne socialism.
Is referencing and paraphrasing Trotsky, Tito, Gramsci and Lukacs what you would define as pseudo-Marxism. Marx made some valuable observations and theories, but is now dated in many aspects. Capitalism has escalated and developed from the industrialisng world in which Marx wrote. There is no ideological dogma here, merely the advocation of a Titoist transitional phase preceeded by permanent revolution. The latter of which will happen given the increasing aggressiveness and authoritarian rule of capitalism in the last 60 years.
