    It is excellent. Only thing I'd disagree with is that most PoMos are Marxists. I find most rarely consider class at all & Marxists hate them https://twitter.com/SarahKate26/status/869730410007207936 …

        They are a marxist off shoot as far as I can tell, they've replaced class politics with other things which naturally annoys real marxists

        Although Marxism was one of their main targets, they have incorporated aspects of it, yes. But you can't be Marxist if you neglect class.

        Technically they do include class and class warfare - it is not in the economic sense, but the oppressor/oppressed dichotomy resembles...

        I mean in the economic sense. Marxism is about economics. Can't have Marxism without economic class.

        Bingo - I don't want to say "cultural Marxism" because RWNJs use it, but that's what it is; Marxism, but with culture instead of economics.

        Yeah but also no structure, no respect for truth, no plan, no optimism, no coherence. So much more to it.

        I disagree; there is a plan to it with the ones who mix it with "advocacy" - it's all about taking the top spot on the totem pole.

        Activists have plans, sort of, but PoMo doesn't & so they'll never be satisfied either.Problems will multiply & get further from being fixed

        The conflation of PoMo with Marxism seems to be mostly an Anglosphere thing. Not sure what is behind that.
