So a postmodern view does not allow for the acquisition of knowledge to lead to social progress or even societal change. Knowledge is produced only in order to be sold. I conclude the paper by discussing the manner in which the postmodern ideology works to extend capitalism. In this sense, the postmodern debate is a class struggle. Since the world has seen little relief from the oppression of capitalism, Marxism needs to provide its continuing critique of postmodernism and its attempts to extend bourgeois capitalism.
Postmodernism proves itself to be an historical truth.
Its presence in the rhetoric of even its opponents is proof enough of its existence. I have learned a lot from your postings as well as from everyone's posts throughout the semester. In other words, I see poststructuralism as a postmodernist movement. Also, part of my argument hinges upon the fallacy in the idea of consumerism as a liberating philosophy, which seems to be a postmodern ideal. I see poststructuralism and potmodernism, in many ways, as somehow intertwined.
