Thanks, but wasn't Foucault unaware of postmodernism as a movement?

Alterations:
Peterson almost never condemn postmodernism or Marxism methodically, but always morally, which is of course far easier to do. When he talks about Marxism, he never talks about Western-European Marxism, but always Eastern-European Marxim, and then speaks about things such as the Zorking camps and famines in the USSR. When talking about posmodernism, it's never about the methods, but what he comprehends as their faulty morals.
He rejects Foucault based on the fact that he was a libertine, and paints him as a bitter and depresed man trying to destroy the world around him out of spite.

Both Derrida and Foucault never called themselves postmodernists, but poststructuralists, the term was applied backwards to explain the era of postmodernism. Foucault had to be told what postmodernism actually was during a talk just a year before he died, because he had always seen the movement as poststructuralist.
