I'll read Hicks again in light of your insights.

I don't think I disagree with Hicks. He covers epistemic and moral relativism.
-
He does, but I'm remembering clearly (I think) a connection with communism. Maybe they just found comfort in it when USSR died?
-
There is a connection. Loss of confidence in Marxism as way of ensuring social justice, same equalising impulse, same political side.

there's a simple test to this, are there significant numbers of people who are hardcore crit studies believers but not communists? yes.
-
Meh, maybe not on the academic level... But the crazy protesters driven by its dissemination are often communist...
-
many call themselves anti capitalist without knowing what they are talking about, but most PoMos are not marxists
-
Yes. They still do very little for the working class and focus on identity groups instead.
-
Yes I agree. It's not real communism.

I think there's definitely an inspiration in the way they use oppressed/oppressor. But that's as far as it goes.
