Postmodernism and Marxism

why do you feel that you need to occupy the whole board with identical threads that only you reply to
what is your endgame

it's because it's a split in the French. basically, as well as LARPing as Heidegger scholars, Sartre and Beauvoir said some weird shit that Americans really liked. Some of the other postmodernists called them out about this to various degrees, but Marxism was very trendy at the time, and France still had drugs coming in from the colonies along with the freedom fighters/terrorists/WWII pensioners the Algerian was was making, so into the mix of legitimate Marxist critique (which maintains, like postmodernism, that all narratives arise out of their context) you also get some batshit crazy Marxist-Freudianism resurging (Reich) along with the translation errors of Sartre, and none of that's bound to work out as anything other than an underage orgy.

The stuff /pol/ is complaining about are the Americans who then took that batshit crazy mai 68 mash up, and badly translated it again. The feminists in the US told Beauvoir they really liked her, and she told them to fuck off because she was ashamed of what she'd produced. All the other people who actually did Marxist crit had already told her to fuck off at that stage in France, so that became a whole other mess.

Confusing it with Marxist crit is understandable, because it gives place to context, but confusing Beauvoir with a competent Marx/Heidegger reader is all America.

>was was
_War_ was

>Why do people associate or confuse these two with each other so much?
unironically it's because of some dude called jordan peterson, who uses both interchangeably as a bogeyman, and who has a massive following.

Cause all the postmodernism were Marxists.

Some of them had been associated with Marxism (like Foucault) but they broke with it.

>Nabokov was secretly Marxist
Pretty sure he was pissed off the Bolsheviks took his title and land for real, anon.

It's almost like at one point it was unpopular to be a Marxist? And they had to play dumb and dance around with their "benign" post-modernism (Totally not Marxist)... Colour me shocked.

Foucault broke from Marxism when the French communist party was at its peak. He wasn't even heavily involved during the three years he associated with them.
