Postmodernisma izaicinājumi Baznīcai

After massive evidence of atrocities performed by Communist regimes, Marxism lost its moral stand but did not cease to exist. It merged with Postmodernism, becoming a hybrid ideology – postmodern neo-Marxism. This ideology extends the concept of oppression from economic and political power gained through class struggle to any identity-based social group relationship, claiming that it is dominated by power. On the one hand, postmodernists deny objective truth and any metanarrative. On the other hand, they posit as a reality-shaping factor the defining force of social identity, which is formed by the power to redefine the previous meanings of words. Identity politics has become the guiding principle of postmodern neo-Marxism, which is a serious challenge for both the Christian church and Western civilization.
