Bini Adamczak writes “Class is formed through the language of class struggle and in it, through struggle, the abolition of class becomes foreseeable.”

Following this line of thought, we might say that class itself is formed through language, but not just any language: the peculiar language that is produced in class struggle. Within the terms of this particular language — and in conjunction with struggles that are not reducible to language — the very abolition of class, the existence of which the language itself constitutes or presupposes, becomes possible.

This publication gives form to linguistic material taken from the rich but disparate, sideways and non-unified corpus of marxist linguistic theory, which includes accounts of metaphor, slogans, and the way action and language are linked. Even analytic philosophy must account for this.

In its miniature form it might serve as a nonlinear script for collective study and vocalizations.
