Well drop me a link as soon as you're done. As someone who does have marxey leanings, I'm curious what your take is.

Have a look at that link I sent. I intend to draw on these ideas & compare them with PoMo ones & show the differences.

Coz if we understand PoMo as cultural Marxism, we will miss what I think is the biggest problem - the denial that objective knowledge exists
