I can still remember that one tragic night like it's all just a dream

I find it interesting that post-modern ideas have traces of ideas from the Frankfurt school. Today especially my generation have been clamoring for socialist state and I have even seen so many memes about having a Communist state. My generation is struggling with the inequality that we face everyday and they would point out that there is something wrong with the government and that the capitalist state that we have is to be blamed. Given this I do not think that we are Marxists, but I think that most of us are Post Moderns because we value language and communication a lot, that is why we created social media, we could connect with people anytime with our mobile devices. This new form of communication contributes to our narrative. If you check someone else’s social media accounts you will see who they are, their interests, etc. These things make communication easier, sort of makes ice breakers a little bit more easier if you will. With the rise of media, the truth can be easily distorted. People found out different ways to tell the truth, for example the spread of fake news, there would be facts there but it would be presented to mislead people to forward their agenda. So now I see that the center of power shifts to language and communication because people do not use swords and guns to sway political opinion, but now people talk and debate about certain issues important to them.
