Laclau and and Mouffe explain why Marxism needs to be altered to become more modern and allow for the globalization of culture and the economy. They discuses the flaws which hold back Marxism and they spend some time critiquing Geras' views.
They explain that Marxism expected a uniform society, but this is just not possible, though they do believe each person should be involved in this transformation. To change our perspective, Laclau and Mouffe suggest we all must be aware of history in order to participate in change.
Laclau and Mouffe clearly get their ideas from Marx, but want to improve his view. They recognize that not everyone will have the same ideals. Their ideas of change and being a part of culture, display a view very similar to that of Williams. Leviasites and Arnold would be unlikely to agree that this change is necessary, though would probably agree that the homogeneity of society is impossible and that political struggles are inevitable. Bazerman would probably take interest in their ideas. Their consideration that we should all be participants follows in line with Bazerman's ideas of a psych-social recognition phenomena. This can be applied to the way people take part in culture and become a part of the changes.
I think Laclau and Mouffe are wise to think of globalization. Certainly it has an effect are our society. Also, it seems much more logical to recognize that a uniform ideal isn't going to exist, unlike Marxism.
