Totally get you, though:

sociological theory on the importance of non-material conditions and postmodernist critiques of structured narratives within the soft sciences.

Maslow's heirarchy usually holds up to the former. But for the latter? It is a realm rife with grift. Even the best intentions can end up warped or being co-opted. So that's probably where the contention comes from especially if you start with an aggressive posture.

Oh yeah, the nature of postmodernism means it's very exploitable. I meant it more as justification for my broader disassociation more than something I bring up; I usually leave postmodernism out of it. Just outlining the internal thought process of why I wouldn't describe myself as a Marxist.
