In the 70s and 80s, a current emerged in leftist subcultural spaces and eventually in academia that aggressively denied that scientific models could ever capture any degree of a single underlying objective reality.
This was vociferously opposed by anarchists, feminists, antifascists, many marxists, and other radicals.

Proponents of "antirealism", from the postmodernists in the subcultural scene around Semiotext(e) in NYC to a handful of relativist sociologists and philosophers, often packaged their positions as antifascist, anti-authoritarian, even "anarchist"—*while* they repeatedly denounced actual anarchists.
