The definition of "postmodern left" here seems hopelessly confused and sketchy; I'm not sure what it means beyond just being an extension of New Left thinking that had the bad fortune to exist in an age of Third Way strategic retrenchment. In any case, all of these options are responses to the challenges and opportunities of their particular time and as such I'm uninterested in playing the generational-warfare game of pitting one against another.
Anyway, all these Old Left votes are pretty predictable given how white and male this forum is. Yes, its achievements were very important, and have the most widespread acclaim today. But they were also in many ways the low-hanging fruit; I'm not going to fault Einstein for failing to discover Newton's laws of motion, nor will I fault today's physicists for not coming up with E=mc2.
...Eh. Guess I'd vote New Left.
