praxis (process) _the implementation of theoretical knowledge

Western post-Marxists…lazily ruminate on whether or not ‘proletarian agency’ is now obsolete, obliging us to think in terms of ‘multitudes’, horizontal spontaneities, whatever. But this is not a debate in the great industrializing society that Das Kapital describes even more accurately than Victorian Britain or New Deal America. Two hundred million Chinese factory workers, miners and construction labourers are the most dangerous class on the planet…. Their full awakening from the bubble may yet determine whether or not a socialist Earth is still possible. (14-15)
