    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
