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 …

I think both inform the scholarship in some of the grievance studies departments, for example. But they're *separate* influences, and academics take what they want from *each* of them. PoMo and Marx are not easily hybridized into a single philosophical framework.
This seems correct to me. My sense is that they borrow the basic conflict theory from Marx, power-knowledge theory from Foucault, and the racial politics from the 1960s Black Power thinkers. It's a powerful combo.
