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.
