Yes. There's an interesting question here of how basic realpolitik interacts with existential priors. Is it a question of "who does this belief serve?" In other words, socialism served the working classes in the 20th century. It was in their interest to hold the beliefs which underpin it. Is it simply that a intersectional coalition of the newly-empowered find postmodernism the most plausible philosophy to explain their new-found virtue? Perhaps that's too cynical. It probably works in both directions.
