Neomarxism is genuinely pomo though: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neo-Marxism …

Seems like you'd lose essential features of marxism, no? The "this is how history works" is a pretty central part. But I'm sure there's Marx-inspired-inspired vulgar pomo.

In other words, it doesn't seem like a good category construction.

Not sure if you are objecting that the category lumps disparate things, or that the things in the category are bad? I would mostly agree with both, but perhaps couldn’t help on-the-other-handing each.

Disparate things. What's "really" what is pointless, sure, but some concepts are better for communication and understanding than others. Postmodernism reacts against modernism so putting them together confuses what it is about. I guess that's my point

But sure, it's not JP:s fault. Whine withdrawn.

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.

Its just that it feeds common misunderstandings about what the postmodern condition is.

I agree… would love to discuss more some time!
