Also there is the revolutionary ethos of both & the stated opposition to capitalism which don't go down well with conservatives.

I don't focus very much on the influence of Marxism on PoMo coz I think it's superficial & the mentality is dominated by the constructivism.

But can you ignore the fact that in both academics and politics they go hand in hand? I'm well read in pomo and it is essentially Marxism

No, it's not. I've tweeted much on this in last hour. Please see timeline.

Just saw this. Yes, because I think it misses half of the problem & that half contains the cultural & epistemic relativity.

The former does come from Marxism & the latter (epistemic relativity) does comes from the philosophical trad that solidified in France, yes
