Where does the obsession with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (D.E.I.) come from? Why do the media vilify liberal democracy, amplifying cries that "never in human history have violence, inequality, exclusion, famine, and economic oppression affected so many people"? Discover how Social Justice became the last refuge of a dwindling intellectual elite-journalists, academics, and activists desperate to maintain relevance-and learn how to defend yourself against its pervasive irrationality. 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 Borrelli exposes the philosophical and cultural shifts that transformed a once-revolutionary ideal into an "army of walking dead" intellectuals preaching irrationalism. This book challenges the self-appointed moral authority of academia and its descent into hysteria, identity politics, and pseudo-scientific dogmas. With biting wit and unwavering honesty, Borrelli critiques the rise of "deconstructed Social Justice," a movement that has replaced rigorous inquiry with moralistic spectacle and nostalgic fantasies of a lost paradise. Drawing on Derrida's Spectres of Marx, Marxist theory, and the legacy of Enlightenment rationalism, Borrelli traces the evolution of today's intellectual activism. From the collapse of Soviet communism to the emergence 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-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.
