Fascist hatred of objective meaning of things because they'd rather embrace capitalist-nihilism over socialism.
And these are the guys who love to accuse their enemies of being "post-modernists." Every accusation a confession etc.
Marxism itself is a Modernist philosophy and something Postmodernists are against on principle. Marxism exists within a scientific method framework where it uses precise definitions and empirical data. Postmodernism rejects rules altogether and even the concept of rules. It is explicitly against Marxism because its very definition rejects the premise of creating a science of economics and societies.
Obviously, there are Postmodern leftists looking from the perspective of the Soviet Union's failure/collapse. But since reactionaries are all dipshits who don't know fuck about fuck, they use words without knowing their meanings.
It's not trying to convince people, it's more like them spitting out stuff that resonates with themselves and people who are similarly sunk into that scene trying to out-depress each other.
