Thanks for this great piece. I think you are hitting close to a very uncomfortable truth: that the critical theory and postmodernism which drives a lot of the radical New Left today shares certain important features with the fascism they claim to oppose, namely: 1) a historical link with revisionary forms of Marxism; 2) a denial of universal reason and an obsession with ideology or false consciousness that is always subjective; 3) a belief in 'liberation' from all limits for humanity; 4) a resulting worldview where individualism is discarded, and a lack of respect for individual human dignity.

I think society should pay attention and discuss this more.
