Quote:I'd warn you that terms used in the article above, such as "Cultural Marxist (social justice) organizations" are alt-right terms, ultra-right terms - as if social justice movements are evil and social justice is not a positive ideal. Yes, there are sometimes critiques of the same features of things wrong by both the left and right, but why chose those from the right with their hidden messages and argot of anti-progress, racism, etc.?
Having ready a lot of Cultural Marxist theory, which I think is a fair description. I am quite happy to say I have been strongly influenced by it. It is as I understand to be the core of postmodern thought, for good or for bad. It seeks to deconstruct the edifice of oppressive modern ideologies. The best of it has resulted in liberation theology movements. Another great accomplishment would be the devastating critiques offered by Edward Said in his Orientalism and Culture and Imperialism. Everything in these these writings is drenched in social justice we are sorely lacking. I came to appreciate Derrida's Spectres of Marx after much agony. I am no scholar, and the literature is endless.
Moving on the bad aspects of postmodern writing. Where does one start or end. This gets us to the alt-right critique which gets a lot right. Once you continue on with the postmodern project, all things are relativised to the point of an absurd world in which anyone can claim oppression for any contrived reason.
