When Marx and Engels wrote "What the Bourgeoisie therefore produces, above all, are its own grave diggers", this is what they meant. Capital twists the fabric of society, governance, justice, and people, wringing out profits into fewer and fewer hands. Eventually it all has to snap.
The rise of climate change, ecological disaster, and nuclear brinkmanship changes the game, though. Class struggle is becoming a matter of not just how we order society, but humanity existing at all.
