holy shit--lucid as a dream
suss-ink'd-ly:
they couldn't scrub the teleology out of marxism because contrary to the way it looked it like might've gone in the ol' 19th c., proletarians mostly don't know anything about each other or feel like they owe eachother anything except through other networks of identities (neighbors, family members, coworkers in ever-shrinking & ever-relocating workplaces). Thinking a shortcut to universal brotherhood had been attained by making it an automatic byproduct of globally widespread abstract solidarity among everyone exploited by something as abstract as the whole economic system is no shortcut at all.
