I think a lot of the postmodernists can be thrown into anti-modernism if given the right direction, the altright is basically postmodern in the ways it operates and it's ability to forge an identity construct out the thin air, same with NRx in a lot of ways.

In a way it's inevitable for them, a lot of them don't realize the extent to which they are reconstituted into the liberal machine, and that they are still rootless moderns at the end of the day.

Yes I think so, I think that there is an alternative series of paths that can potentially reconcile postmodernity with essentially antimodern ideas, but this does not entail plunging into modernism again like what the altright is trying to do, ex. Racial materialism.

Do you have any articles on this topic? I'm not well read enough on pm to have an opinion really.

Nathan Duffy has a good one about the enlightenment, there is a few NRx commentaries on pomo (ex. The dark enlightenment by land, himself being heavily influenced by deleuze). I have written about the ironic detachment of meme culture on the right too.

In some ways the right is even more Pomo and ironic now a days on the net then the left, basically we are forced to be, the modern left can afford to be sincere in public for several reasons.

In a way it would accelerate the contradictions of the liberalized modern world that are present already, that's the thing which the kojeves of the world never realized, liberalism tends to germinate on its back the very things that chip away at its core.

Of course we would also have to create a new cultural and artistic and spiritual understanding that is restorationist but in a creative sense, not just LARPism or irony, irony is but a temporary postmodern tool.

The idea that every culture has a right to exist by virtue of being a culture (current right-wing view) as opposed to claiming superiority of one culture over another (current neocon view) is a form of postmodern cultural relativism.

Very true! Hence why I had success in uni by confusing my fellow lefty colleagues with my support of the majority of postcolonial theory
