I'd agree with that. Sartre wrote once that an ossified PCF spoke constantly about the proletariat, but thinking dialectically means talking about *proletariats* -- i.e. thinking through the real-life diversity of struggles, positions, institutions and cultures of we workers of the world, scattered across 150+ nation-states, the power-lines of a couple budding multinational superstates, and the data-cores of a mushrooming multinational media/information matrix.
