  1. "I'm going to replace your arbitrary and oppressive social hierarchy with a new and improved arbitrary and oppressive social hierarchy." That seems to be creed. But will they, as true revolutionaries, continue the struggle like good little Trotskyites and rebel against the new thesis in accordance with the dialectic, or will they declare an end to history like a good Stalinist and focus on consolidating their gains, like the pigs in Animal Farm? My money is on the latter because it's all about the pursuit of power. When you reject a higher transcendent morality you end up serving your own self-interest. As Dylan pointed out you're gonna have to serve somebody, even if it is your own hedonistic desires. I wonder how they would handle the young sh*t disturbers they riled up if they were actually able to pull it off and some group of people were stupid enough to hand the disciples of these crackpots the reigns of power? Would it be a repeat of the Night of the Long Knives or would the bomb throwers win the day and tear it all down for the sake of watching what they helped build burn? In any event, movements like this always end up in one place, dictatorship. This has been true since the days of the French Revolution and the last time I checked, our fallen nature hasn't changed. That's the problem these pseudo-intellectuals always come up against, those pesky uncooperative critters called humans. They just never seem to get on board with the program, no matter how well laid out the plans are or how efficient the reeducation camps operate. They just don't get it do they? Anyway, the one thing all of these post-modern gobble-de-gook prophets have in common is this. It's quite simple really, they are all full of sh*t and there isn't a one of them who would be able to manage a shift at McDonalds let alone reorder a society. The bad news is, every now and again one of these wannabe secular messiah's gets a crack at it and while they are good at generating work for the gravediggers they aren't any good at anything else. I guess you can sell this crap to the kids with parents rich enough to send em to Ivy League schools. Unfortunately, that is where the current batch of woke CEO's and tech entrepreneurs come from. It will be interesting to see where it all ends up. It'll be chaotic, but interesting all the same.
