Marx evidently did not think so. Your argument is with him, nor Jim.
http://mailman.lbo-talk.org/pipermail/lbo-talk/Week-of-Mon-20081103/018110.html Gáspár Miklós Tamás, in "Telling the truth about class":
"Marx is the poet of that Faustian demonism: only capitalism reveals the social, and the ?nal unmasking; the ?nal apocalypse, the ?nal revelation can be reached by wading through the murk of estrangement which, seen historically, is unique in its energy, in its diabolical force. Marx does not 'oppose' capitalism ideologically; but Rousseau does. For Marx, it is history; for Rousseau, it is evil."
