Someone who is at least sympathetic with the thought that the transformation of a system centered on the accumulation of capital would have to have at its center the people who produce that capital. You express a lot of hostility toward that section of the working class that's above miserable subsistence, and seem now to favor people whose marginalization from the system is expressed by their embrace of desperate religious ideologies. And you see that not as the sigh of the oppressed creature, but as promising in itself.
