I find the widely cited concept of a "postmodern Marxist left" intellectually incoherent, mostly a right-wing canard flung by ppl who have read no Marx or pomo. Foucault & Fredric Jameson would surely agree. If you are a postmodern Marxist, please contact me.
I find this very hard to understand. I am used to the Marxists calling the postmodernists bourgeois elitists who stole the left from the working classes and took it into their ivory tower.

Oh, sure. It's just that, when capitalism has to be given a kicking (whether because it's exploitation or because it's a grand narrative), they have the capacity to club together. Not saying they don't resume mutual hostilities away from the anti-capitalist fray.

I would have to see this to believe it. I find the PoMos to be almost wholly uninterested in economics because this would require having some sympathy with white working class men.

Well, I could take you to a few places where we could see it in its natural habitat! Not saying it makes sense - quite the contrary. But it's conjunctural. Depending on context, say, fundamentalist Christians and Muslims can be at each other's throats or singing their praises.

I see it in the shoutings of Antifa, tbh, which seem sometimes to be Marxist and sometimes postmodern.
