Where does the belief that bare simple natural language words are sufficient (as opposed to 'necessary', but not entirely enough on their own) to describe and affect reality come from? Are there seriously faggots around here who think reality is entirely λόγος?

The new left will die out of its own accord soon enough. When you study history you see the same pattern emerging. "Leftism" or whatever you want to call it is only enabled by excessive times of peace and relative bourgeoisie living and that's exactly the case right now. This repeated period in civilizations is always relatively short lived again for the reasons that you see emerging now. Leftism ends up becoming counterproductive and cannibalizing itself because it's only born from a sort of mass psychosis, generally speaking people becoming detached from reality even if ever so slightly. You might think oh surely the paradigm must have shifted enough by now to break the cycle, but no you most likely have a heavily skewed perspective and overestimate humanity's ability to direct itself. Leftism emerges and dies the same way as everything else: a power struggle. Worldwide intelligence is shrinking not growing. At the current time that paradigm shift is getting farther away not closer.

It hasn't you're just not rebelling hard enough.
And by that I mean you actually just gotta storm into the offices of every corporation and hold the CEO at gunpoint.
Let's see them try to commodify that.
This is why they wrote the second amendment you know.
Because in their infinite wisdom at some point they realized that there is no sufficient answer to raw physical power and violence and that regardless of the time period or circumstances there will always arise a time where ordinary people will have need to call upon that power. Violence is the real thing that there is no alternative to. It will always come back and win eventually.
