I never equated capitalism with postmodernism. Postmodernists seem to be,
for the most part, opposed to the Enlightenment, scientific realism, and
universal truths. Most postmodernists are liberals (in the US anyway) and
are adamant about social rights, cyborg feminism and enjoy theoretical
critiques of posthuman futures. While the rhetoric of postmodernists is
confusing to understand, it does have a poetic quality that takes the mind
off into realms of contradictions that is both down right confusing and
somehow strangely delightful.
 
I think one of the problems with postmodernism and capitalism is that their
ideologies and other belief systems are not codified and there are numerous
strains of thinking within both domains.  So, it is quite difficult to
ascribe a set of principles to either. (Although Foucault, and his liberal
arts adherents might disagree.)
