Do the theorists using these methods use the word 'postmodernism'? Not usually. Do they cite Derrida? Seldom. Lyotard? Not much. Foucault? Rather more. Are the core ideas of language constructing reality, epistemic & moral relativity PoMo in origin. Absolutely.

Sometimes this is an ideologically-motivated conflation & to some extent it's excusable because anti-capitalism noises are still being made by the PoMo left but they're not very convincing & the surge of working class voters to the right demonstrates this. Their party forgot them

But leftists like me attack postmodernism too because we'd actually like to fix the problem and be electable by reasonable people again, please.

The specific link I see to Marxism is: 1) Marx's claim that reason itself was a function of one's class identity 2) Openly Marxist academics expanding that to include PoMo identity groups 3) Ergo theories rooted in pomo (e.g. intersectionality) integrate well

Note: this is as much a question and request for comment/expansion as a comment

1) I don't know about Marx claiming this. I've never heard Marxists claim it. 2) I don't know of Marxist academics doing this. 3) They usually hate each other.

On this point, read the Bible of the Antifa movement to see that Marxism remains. (The few actual anarchists in the movement don’t realize the Marxists will see them “first against the wall when the revolution comes.”)https://the1a.org/shows/2017-08-21/the-antifa-handbook …

Maybe it mentions Marx, working class issues, economics etc in the full account. Doesn't come up in that extract and blurb.
