How about JB's comments in Paroxysm on Globalisation, I am thinking especially
of the text around  the comment 'La pensee unique...'  it is the triumph of
promiscuis exchange, the triumph of signs, the promiscuity of all values. A form
of pornography, the media has become pornographic at 50-60Mhz.... It occurs to
me that the overt nihalism of JB in the text is not dissimilar in some ways to
Lyotards' version of difference. In that all values (differences) are subsumed
in the version of globalisation, universalisation which we accept, endlessly,
that we have no alternative to...

Is JB like Lyotard also arguing that the great themes of modernity have become
insignificant and failed...

Neitschean leftism anyone?
