Aaaand here is where I get confused. I thought Marx spent most of his life showing how abstract, agentless, uh, things and processes dominate under capitalism. If you are going avoid abstractions that have no agency, why not just go all liberal: racism exists because of racists, accumulation exists because people are greedy, etc.
