The fact that a vague limp-wristed anti-essentialist view of reality had much in common with the fist-pumping essentialism of Marxism was a reach that a lot of people in the IDW were more to happy to make, and it was their first big error.https://twitter.com/lhfang/status/1389255521325109250 …

Given that even Richard Rorty saw how the admixture of post-modernism and communism was a problem, it's clear that it isn't a stretch to say they can be combined. Rorty wanted to combine post-modernist deconstruction with liberalism. He feared he was failing. He was right.

1/ The IDW was looking for an explanation for what was happening in the academic culture, especially with respect to speech and "identity" scholarship, and originally *some* of the people within it put forward the idea that this was coming from a synthesis of PoMo and Marx.

2/ The two were thought to be philosophically compatible and complimentary. This never made sense to me (and to lots of other people). An article in Aero (probably around 2018) successfully attacked it, and after that fewer people advanced the idea, thank goodness.
