"North exposed the pernicious role of postmodernism, which is based on a rejection of objective truth. The campus newspaper, the Michigan Daily highlighted this critique in their favorable review. " Whole books can be written on this collapse of faith in the human intellect to know and understand - if not ABSOLUTE TRUTH - then at least OBJECTIVE REALITY .
And yet since the collapse of the old Soviet Union how confident they sound , the bourgeois intellectual defenders of the capitalist system. These ubiquitous ruling class VOICES on radio and TV speak with almost maniac faith in the wisdom and permanence of this capitalist " way of life " - which offers nothing but oppression and exploitation to all the working people on the planet.
Sadly true , THEIR colleges and universities mass produce professional enemies of the working class and " successful " graduates who can't even IMAGINE a social system much different from the one that brainwashed them .
Oddly enough this decadent ruling capitalist class of the early 21st century is NOT religious , is hostile to religion . I suspect that the vast majority of the world plutocracy are fans of the militant atheist Ayn Rand . Of course , they will USE organized religion to stupefy working people - whenever possible. Witness the Christian Zionists .
I recall even the materialist atheist Trotsky noting that the Christian Gospels were social dynamite ( " explosive " ? ) .
