That's a good question! I wouldn't say I depart from marxism insofar as I don't feel an affinity with more state based communism (stalinism, Leninism, etc). As for marxism the only critique I can think of is how classic marxism lended to be historically and economically deterministic that didn't account for things like gender and such. Although as time has gone on and my dismay for identity politics has made me feel more economically deterministic than before. I also should say that there's only so much that I even know what I'm talking about. I've taken several courses in critical theory and marxism in undergrad and grad skill and I still only comprehend it on a basic level. At the end of the day I just really care about being a good caring humble person and aligning myself with anti authoritarian, anticapitalist, communal based values. If you also care about those things it probably doesnt matter what you call yourself, were probably on the same boat :)
