That rather puzzles me.  The foundation of Marxism is that there IS 
objective truth, it is knowable, and the world can be changed in 
accordance with man's understanding of the world.  Post structuralism 
has, uh, rather different answers to all of these questions.  And every 
post structuralist and similar sort, even those calling themselves 
Marxists (or sometimes "Marxians.") has quite specifically rejected the 
dialectic.  Is there an exception to this I'm unaware of?
