All the disease and sickness cannot just be excised like a tumor, it's too advanced, too widespread throughout the whole body, too deep in it's bones.
This isn't Stage 4 cancer, we've gone beyond that.
We're fuckin' Deadpool at this point: We ARE cancer.
I don't see Marx's idea of 'radical rupture' as being inevitable either, along with the whole revolution bit. The idea was that the proletariat would discard the vestiges of its past, ie contradicting past human experience. It seems like new modes of thinking just reconstitute the past into working with the current frameworks of ideology, instead of progressing with a clean break. White guys get alienated, lose religion, but just go on 4chan and start deus vulting and waxing poetic about the Holy Roman Empire.
The revolution within the proletariat themselves is important before "THE REVOLUTION"
