The Mystery Reveled!

Marxism’s grand narrative illuminates a lot of thinking.

No matter how transparent everything appears it is never the basis of assumptions.

There are hidden mechanisms within society [the gray area or as Marx sees it consumerism, surplus value and infra/super structure] which need to be reveled in order to expose their workings.

A narrative is then constructed to explain this alternative reality.

It effectively replaces the reality it purports to understand.
