Colonialism,rather than disappearing in contemporary times,has evolved alongside the liberal capitalist mode of production.Domenico Losurdo shifted from philosophical critique to historical critique,elucidating through Marxist language the liberal view of freedom vis-à-vis colonialism.Under the social background where colonialism persists and modern individuals are generally unfree,he draws on Hegel's philosophy of law to approach Marx's narrative of historical materialism.Losurdo points out that true freedom should be universally recognized,rooted in the right of resistance possessed by individuals under oppression.Thus,the struggle for recognition by the oppressed in capitalist history is essentially a legitimate pursuit of freedom.By integrating this viewpoint with Marxist theory of class struggle,Losurdo,with being recognized as the goal,reshapes the theory so that the emancipation movements for freedom can all be covered in pluralistic forms of class struggle and the concept of class is actually expanded.However,he drifts towards a departure from Marx's own conception of negative liberty and fails to thoroughly critique the economic logic of colonialism.In light of his insight,the development of Marxist theories of freedom must adhere to the basic tenets of Marxism,and navigate the tension between world history and reality,emphasizing a human-centric approach while embracing a global perspective.
