Yeah, she's just like Marx, going on and on about that class struggle/revolution thing. Thank goodness the mighty, flourishing AmeriLeft doesn't need to bother about actually thinking through such concepts in any detail.

Eagleton can be interesting, but he misses the point: theory does not think in sentences. It's the grammar, the space between the sentences, through which the lightning-bolt of content flashes.
