Indeed! I have a piece in the works entitled 'Why postmodernism isn't cultural Marxism.' It makes no sense. Marxism was a primary target of the postmodernists & Marxists hate them. It's just an easy conflation of 2 enemies by the right or, more charitably, something easy to grasp

You can find plenty of Marxists who think that way, sure. But there are many who manage the emulsification process much more deftly: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Postmodernism-Cultural-Capitalism-Poetics-Social/dp/0860915379/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1525377655&sr=1-1&keywords=jameson+postmodernism …

I know about Jameson, obviously. First text I had to read but is he inspiring much of what is going on right now?
-
Yes, sorry - of course you do! Don't know, to be honest. The alliances, such as they are, are more circumstantial and ad hoc. The point about Jameson is he proves it's a fusion that can also take place at an intellectual level.
-
I will reread him with this in mind. I just don't think it is much in practice now. I'm also reading and editing a lot of the stuff that inspires SocJus and I'm not seeing much Jameson.

Sorry everyone, walked up the street to vote in the local council elections & am now out of the loop somewhat - have a pleasant evening!
