McLaren came to believe that postmodern theory could be quite a reactionary approach in so far as it failed to challenge with the verve and sustained effort that is demanded of the times the social relations of capitalist production and reproduction.
McLaren je shvatio da bi postmodernistička teorija mogla biti prilično reakcionarni pristup u onoj mjeri u kojoj se nije uspjela suprotstaviti živahnom i trajnom naporu koji se zahtijeva u vremenu društvenih odnosa kapitalističke proizvodnje i reprodukcije.
