The opacity results from him describing contemporary leftism in detail. I find it morbidly fascinating. Clearly not everybody's cup of tea.

No, I didn't think it would be but it gets at the essence of what is going on here both with its detailed breakdown and its style. It's remarkable, I think.

Perhaps my imagination, but the style appears to be a direct challenge to the "logocentric" left - I can play this game too! At least, I'm having some fun believing that.

Yes! You can have your language and your tropes and your concepts but I can do it too and I can even make precise analysis of the situation in it and present it pleasingly, poetically whilst you waffle on saying nothing and doing it painfully.

We both agree we should each have written it. :-D
