    This new concept of evil remains subordinated to class and inferior to it in explanative power.

    materialism lets us look critically at aspects of bourgeois morality that exist at odds with the interests of humanity, but class on its own isn’t a complete blueprint for proletarian ethics. not all social interactions reduce to class relations, and you also have to account for nonhuman sentients who are outside of society altogether

      Yes, this new concept of evil exists within the chosen perspective, and we can not hope to understand reality with just one perspective. That does not stop us from examining this single relation.
