speaking of the "New Left's idiosyncratic reading of Marx" I would be interested to see a genealogy, with names, of how we got to the "unholy trinity" you speak of. Zizek rejects Jordan Peterson's claim that "cultural marxists" laid the groundwork for woke capitalism, but I find Peterson's term (admittedly a generalization) not that far off, which is not to say I agree with much else in Peterson. It seems Foucault leads to Butler for instance, who is maybe important for CRT and Intersectionality..? Any way, I'd love to hear your account.

Is it a prerequisite of contemporary academics to speak in terms incomprehensible to most on the left? Thus alienating themselves, and Marx by proxy from the people they apparently seek to inform?

Meanwhile the Right has much more success painting everything in terms of black and white moral antagonism, good vs evil etc etc,.
