Critical
sociologists (basically European in origin), like American radical
sociologists, oppose what they feel are the dehumanizing aspects of capitalist
institutions and also reject what they call the "bureaucratic collectivism" or "state
capitalism" of the former Soviet Union, China, North Korea,
Cuba, etc. Although critical sociology uses Marxism as its
theoretical underpinning, it also recognizes that Marxism leaves many questions unanswered
and seeks to remedy this by blending it with such bodies of theory as Freudianism,
existentialism, phenomenology, etc.
