Capitalists may already know about diamat theoretically, but their class nature forces them to internalise and practice an incomplete version. From the capitalist class perspective, diamat is only useful to counter and prevent revolutions and to preserve their own power, but at the point when the revolution succeeds and their counterrevolutions fail, their understanding of their own role in society must necessarily break down. The question “And then what?” to them seems as ill-posed as to a clock the question of what came “before” the beginning of time. This is why such a perspective is severely lacking in terms of philosophy, history, and economics; it fails to answer basic questions about revolution, socialism, and communism which any worker can easily explain after even a cursory reading of Lenin, it stifles the creativity and imagination of the practitioner by presupposing capitalism as final, and it breaks under the practical weight of a historical mission that is impossible to achieve.

It is a philosophical impossibility to see diamat and histomat through to their logical conclusion without adopting the proletarian perspective, and I suppose this is what these books, lectures, and essays hope to achieve in the end. They are there to make bankers, board members, and consultants understand the unsustainability of the capitalist perspective, to teach them what their work will entail in a socialist society, and to mentally prepare them for a life of normalcy where they remain prosperous but must forego political domination.
