well i disagree. that program (dictatoriship, socialism, communism) might have been appropriate a century ago, but not today. capital is not an externality to us anymore (i'm talking about the formal/real subsumption to capital difference: All life is commodity, in its content, not only form.)

a contemporary insurrection (say the riots in the french banlieues, 2005) is not an affirmation of the proletarian condition (an affirmation would be a request for a "workers' state or a proletarian democracy) , but a practical attempt to its abolition, and therefore a practical attempt to the abolition of all classes.
