The psychological angle isn't that people randomly kill each other(?), and equating pre-agricultural human societies with industrial ones is a big mistake, just because primitive communism existed in small tribes doesn't mean fully industrialized communism can exist in a world with billions of people.
I ofcourse agree with you, I don't agree with their arguments, but we can't just ignore them and act like it's all "pseudoscience" especially when most of us aren't experts on the topic.
You just edited your comment to include the criticism of postmodernism, the grand narrative thing isn't a stretch imo, infact I actually agree with the postmodernists on that one. And simply saying "it doesn't matter all I care about worker's emancipation" isn't a very wise take if you are aiming to use Marxism to emancipate workers. Because if postmodernism is true, Marxism (in it's traditional form) is false.
Sorry, I was sleeping, but, "Postmodernism" doesn't reject material reality existing(?) I don't really know what you're talking about. In fact "Postmodernism" isn't really a coherent ideology at all, all it is a rejection of grand narratives, which is something most people believe in.
Anyways I don't really want to restart this argument.
Postmodernism couldn't be true by its own standards precisely because it rejects narratives of truth. Calling postmodernism true would be precisely nonsensical
