“Strange though it may sound I do not hesitate to say that the new development of Marxist thought which these people represent evolved as the theoretical and ideological superstructure of the revolution that never happened.” – A.S.R.

The science that wasn’t: The orthodox Marxism of the early Frankfurt School and the turn to critical theory
From its canonization in the 1960s through to its appropriation by postmodernism in the 1980s, the Marxian dimension of the Frankfurt School has been minimized, vulgarized, and ultimately ignored.

I remember when there was a discussion on Twitter about Shein's manufacturing practices and some apologists invented all sorts of fantastical machinery and technology to avoid facing the more horrifying truth. Reminds me of this comedian's joke.
