Did you check the sources yourself? Or are you just listening to the SJWs who want to change our very language to prevent us thinking heretical thoughts. Post-modernism isn't a political ideology, it is a religion. Reject or leave the faith and you are not wrong, you are evil!

Post-modernism isn’t a political ideology OR a religion lol Did you get that from JBP? Because he takes sort of an... ideosyncratic approach to defining terms

Just FYI, Postmodernism usually means the old philosophical movement based around the idea that all narratives are constructed (though not all “equally valid”). It’s a reaction to the strict narratives in various modernist philosophies, and has no inherent political character.

Really? You mean it isn't just a repackaged version of Marxism, created after the reality of what communism had done to the Soviet people finally got through to French intellectuals so they needed a new framework to justify their beliefs.

No lol, Postmodernism is literally at odds with Marxism. Marxism has a strict narrative and notion of progress, like damn near all political philosophies. You know Marxists are still just... Marxists, right? Like, Marxism never went away

A few questions as you are an informed source. Who first postulated Postmodernist? What were their previous political beliefs? What is the objective or goal of postmodernism? Does postmodernism accept that objective truth/facts exist?

(1/3) Well I don’t think there was a founder— an obscure critic named J.M. Thompson coined the term in 1914 to describe a trend in skepticism he observed/identified with. Its origins are debated, but it *was* later popularized by French post-structuralists...

(2/3)Like Foucault (Marxist before, but essentially abandoned politics for more personal philisophy), Lyotard (Post-Marxist throughout), and Derrida (anti-Communist and essentially a Libertarian through the 80s as I understand it, then embraced Marxism AFTER the Berlin Wall fell)

I think you will find Derrida wa a Marxist too, at least in the sixties. Post-modernism is a reaction by Marxist to the failures of Marxism and Maoism. George Orwell put it best " They (socialist) don't love the poor they hate the rich".

Er, George Orwell was an *extremely* ardent socialist (https://www.biographyonline.net/socialism-george-orwell/ …), Ann Coulter was the one who said that. Orwell was an actual communist revolutionary in Spain, he just loathed Stalinism (in part bc Stalinists invaded Catalonia) and totalitarianism.

I read just a bit about Derrida’s political views, but Marxism was VERY popular w/his ilk in the 60s, it’s at least an influence. I just know he hated the French Communist Party, was called a “libertarian pessimist” in the 80s, & acted SUPER pro-Marx once the US was unchallenged

But just FYI, political Marxists don’t believe Marxism has failed. Many believe *Leninism* has generally failed, which I also believe, but political Marxism has a wide range of interpretations, bc Marx wasn’t specific as to what an ideal government for socialism would look like
