Not if 'cultural Marxism' is meaningless and it is. It's accurate to say that PoMo filled the void of Marxism and that it shares its revolutionary ethos and even that it shares its idea of false consciousness although more emphasis is put on this being a privileged trait. https://twitter.com/thatsjoakes/status/955977325107138562 …

But PoMo shouldn't share Marxism's revolutionary ethos. The only reason it does is because those ideas have been smuggled in. Which is why it's more accurate to say there's an unholy alliance between the two schools, not that one stepped into the shoes of the other.

Why shouldn't it? This is what liberalism does. It attempts to dismantle oppressive structures. Marxism failed because it misconceived class oppression. It succeeded with feudalism, the church, patriarchy, slavery etc. This didn't begin with Marx.

PoMo isn't a political ideology with stated political aims. It's a method of cultural critique that views all narratives, all ideas with equal skepticism and derision. All forms of discourse collapse. The method lends itself so well, though, to the aims of cultural Marxists.

Which don't actually exist but are what the political manifestations of postmodernism are called. It just didn't work like that and it still doesn't. Completely different rationale and mentality.

I'm not going to argue about this any more. When I have finished all three of my PoMo essays, it will explain much better than I can on here.
