Even China today is a mixture of capitalism and communism.
Hicks then goes on to argue that in the same way the great German master Immanuel Kant limited reason in the late 1700s in order to save religion, in the 20th century, shockingly enough, it was Nazi philosopher Martin Heidegger who became a "Godsend" for the Left by advocating an existentialist philosophy that valued existence, nature, and emotion over reason.
Heidegger deconstructed the successes of western capitalism by delegitimizing it as inherently artificial, inauthentic, and alien to the indigenous countries in which it was exported into.
Heidegger rejected the universal values of the Judeo-Christian worldview wedded to western capitalism as a forced ethic contrary to the existential sentiments of Germany.
According to Hicks, postmodernism favors subjectivity over objectivity, the inadequacy of language to communicate over reason and truth, various collective multicultural groupings over individual identity and autonomy, willpower over realistic experience rooted in rational analysis, communalism and solidarity over individualism in values, markets and politics, and finally, suspicion, if not hostility, toward science and technology.
The postmodern critique of capitalism has replaced the original Marxian critique of capitalism.
International communism thus was converted into a multicultural form of modern fascism that accentuates cultural dissimilarities.
