I feel the need to nitpick an point out that marxism is highly modernist. Not everything bad is postmodernism.https://twitter.com/jordanbpeterson/status/957136769241071616 …
I don’t want to hector you, if you’d rather drop it… I do think knowing the origins of vulgar pomo helps understand its appeal, and may help to count it.

Vulgar pomoists mostly say they want to overthrow capitalism… that comes from Marx. Figuring out what they mean by “capitalism” and the emotional/moral intuitions that lead them to oppose it might help co-construct with them some more positive path forward.

It's a super-interesting topic but I'm on my way to a party so I can't give it full attention :) So yeah, I never meant to say there's no thread from Marx to contemporary vulgar pomo, it definitely is.
