No but it might cause the working class to develop an attitude problem.

For the workers of the world to develop an "attitude problem" is the key, as
it were, for a future for humanity.

And leftists will aid or encourage such a development to the extent that
they replace concern over "what is possible" with a focus on "what is
necessary."  And I would argue that what is necessary will _always_ sharply
contradict _anyone's_ conception of The Possible.
