Relativism, the heart of postmodernism, leads inevitably to Fascism.
This insight was not lost on Mussolini himself. He wrote:
“fascism is the political expression of the most modern currents of contemporary philosophy, that is to say, of relativism. Because if there is not an objective truth that we must respect, then each individual will have the right to utilize whatever power he has; physical power, intellectual power, the power to manipulate through media communications, in order to impose on others his vision of the world. And this is not what we consider to be democracy. This is the beginning of totalitarianism.”
Postmodernism is not a new idea. It is a revival of fascism.

Relativism invalidates reason as a tool to solve problems. All ideas lose lintellectual credibility when they can be subjected to "well you only think like this due to where you are from". And when reason and debate are no longer seen a sviable means tto solve problem, force is the remaining alternative. That is why facist leave the market open but seek to controls citizen's intellectual and spiritual lives (and they ultimately have to do so with force).
