Zombies of Marx

Where do the obsessions of the present come from? Where did the modern idea of Social Justice come from? Will pronouns save the world? And why do those who speak of common sense seem neither common nor sensible? From Ulysses to Hiro Onoda, this book unveils the origins of modern culture, its irrational excesses, and how its obsession with conflict has resurrected the worst authoritarian instincts of the last century. Step into a provocative journey through the tangled legacies of Marxism, postmodernism, and the rise of deconstructionist thought. In Zombies of Marx: The Return of Practical Reason, Davide Smith Borrelli takes a bold stance, exposing the philosophical and cultural shifts that transformed a revolutionary ideal into an "army of walking dead" intellectuals preaching irrationalism. This book challenges the self-assigned moral authority of academia and its descent into a culture of hysteria, identity politics, and pseudo-scientific dogmas. With biting wit and unwavering honesty, Borrelli critiques the spread of "deconstructed Social Justice," a movement that he argues has replaced rigorous inquiry with moralistic fanfare and nostalgic fantasies of a lost utopia. Drawing on insights from Derrida’s Spectres of Marx, Marxist theory, and the legacy of Enlightenment rationalism, Borrelli traces the genealogy of today's intellectual activism. From the collapse of Soviet communism to the rise of ethical fanaticism in the West, he examines how academia’s obsession with power and authority has polarized public debate and eroded the value of individual freedom. Both a polemical critique and a call to action, Zombies of Marx invites readers to rethink the role of intellectuals in society and rediscover the true purpose of knowledge: not to manipulate, but to illuminate. For those unafraid to question dogmas—be they Marxist, postmodern, or otherwise—this book is a fearless exploration of the conflicts shaping the modern world. Dare to challenge the walking dead of ideas.
