he’s a materialist, and recent developments in physics have shaken materialism to its core, like the double slit experiment and observer effect and collapse of the wave function
None of these things are in opposition to materialism?
Marx’ Dialectical materialism was also primarily to do with what he believed were the forces that explained history - the relationship of groups to the means of production, as opposed to Great Man theory of history or more nebulous explanations, he was essentially explaining what motivates people and makes them act a certain way which is not really influenced by quantum physics in any way.
He was a scientific fella who believed in a shared material reality and objective facts as do most Marxists and leftists which is also a materialist notion but again this is not contradicted by physics, quantum or otherwise and neither the observer effect nor lorentz symmetry nor higgs boson or even spherical cows “debunk” those philosophical concepts in any way
Foucault is kind of on his own with his theories of knowledge power and whatnot and he himself rejected being labeled a post-modernist, at the same time he was also labeled a structuralist and identified as a Nietzsche simp and I don’t see how he has any real influence on leftism, so you’re going to have to be more specific there on what exactly you mean there.
these things are in opposition to materialism. materialism posits that the physical world is an atomistic reality separate from human consciousness. Things like collapse of the wave function and observer effect demonstrably prove that reality is influenced by human consciousness. Disproving materialism, which is the foundation on which Marx built his theories. End of story.
Are you trolling? The double slit experiment debunks Marx that’s definitely a new one ngl.
Fun fact: This experiment pre-dates Marx by about 17 years https://doi.org/10.1098%2Frstl.1804.0001
