Dent's backup for hellpocalypse

What Marx objected to among other things was the utopianists’ belief that they could win over their opponents purely through the power of argument.

Society for them was a battle of ideas, not a clash of material interests.

Marx, by contrast, took a sceptical view of this faith in intellectual dialogue.
He was aware that the ideas which really grip men and women arise through their routine practice,
not through the discourse of philosophers or debating societies. If you want to see what men and women really believe,
look at what they do, not at what they say.
