"And it's always been a bankrupt and dangerous ideology which deserves to die."

I agree. I just want to point out some of the recent post modern twists:

* on one hand all truth is relative; on the other hand postmoderns tell us like it really is.
* on the one hand all cultures are equally deserving of respect; on the other hand western culture is uniquely bad.
* values are subjective -- but sexism and racism are really evil.
* technology is bad and destructive but its not OK if some people have more technology than others
* tolerance is good and dominance is bad -- but when the postmoderns come to power political correctness follows.

These contradictions don't matter to the postmoderns (the heirs of Marx) because the object is to exercise power... not to determine the truth. They use these contradictions as a strategy to confuse and undermine faith in Capitalism. These are desparate and dangerous people and they do what they do because socialism itself is in crisis.

It is strange how the Left gravitates to the cause of Islamofascism, isn't it? Islam is totally opposed to what the Leftists would have us believe they are...
