Abstract: Gerald A. Cohen initiated Analytical Marxism in defending historical materialism on the basis of analytical philosophy and of logical positivism. This school of thought presented itself as an attempt to renew Marxism with non-Marxist methodological tools. John Roemer extended it in reconstructing Marxian economics with neoclassical tools and Jon Elster generalized it in interpreting Marxism with methodological individualism and Rational Choice Theory. This paper deals with the assumption that Analytical Marxism turned Marxism into its opposite.
