      Because the main difficulty in tackling the problems that exist now is misunderstanding the thinking underlying them.

      You can't understand the current paranoia around language & focus on structures of privilege without understanding certain PoMo ideas.

      I believe that understanding could and would have come about with very little help from postmodernist theory

      Hmm? You think the shift to thinking in this way about social reality being constructed by language wld have arisen in another form?

      We've always had the tendency to think we can create reality with our stories but this is specific development in leftist civil rights ideas

      Yes, but civil rightists’ achievements owe very little to postmodern theory, which has lamely toddled after events and muddied the waters

      I agree.What I will argue in my talk on this was that PoMo ideas traded on the good name of civil rights & presented itself as the next step

      And believed it was. This is relativism + scepticism abt objective truth + paranoia abt language (all old) applied to new phenomenon.
