That is not what I am saying, the message is that when the working class ( minority or majority ) supports his own class enemy it get defeats, and the winner is the capitalist class, they have lost the class war, which is the only war they might suppport, we can not romanticize the working class,
We must be critical and see the social really, Marx overestimated the taking of class consciousness by the working class, he never thought that the world working class was going to support the capitalist class because during his time everything was different, in that time many workers used to say: Our socialism your capitalism,( on one of the preface of capital he said that workers were reading Capital ) now they are saying: Our capitalism, most workers believe that capitalism is the only viable solution that they have, when the working class ( minority or majority) supports the capitalist class, it affect the whole world working class.
When I was young, youngsters did not support capitalism, and we were reading Marx and Engels, but everything has changed, the same youth are not reading anything, and the so called socialist or communists were defeated by the capitalist class, and the whole society fell apart, and there was a big stampede and that created frustrations within the members of many groups, the same youngsters are supporting populist right wingers, they have drank the kool aid of the capitalist class
The socialist party has stayed on its own feet for more than 100 years because it is integrated by workers who are always reading, or doing research, are active within the workers movement, and they support the working class instead of supporting the capitalist class,, and has never accepted defeat, and most workers do not accept the SP, and despite that the Socialist Party has lost many members, and the members of the SP know that their wrong decisions will affect the live of the whole working class, and the SP is a minority group compared with other groups. if the SP supports any future world wars it will support the death of millions of workers, to become xenophobics will affect the live of millions of workers, and many workers are dying in the seas and oceans, workers are being separated from their family, many workers have supported the elimination of their own social democrats reforms including medical benefits, retirements benefits and unemployments, it is like giving the pistol to your own killers, that will only benefit the capitalist class because the state is not financed by the working class, it is financed by the capitalist class
I understand your comments. Marx warned that “men make their own history, but they do not make it under conditions of their own choosing.” The working class does act, but always within social conditions shaped by capitalism and its ideology.
When workers support their own class enemy, the result is not moral failure but historical contradiction: consciousness lagging behind material reality. To recognise this gap is not to abandon hope, but to take responsibility for changing it.
Lucidity, not illusion, is the foundation of any real emancipation.
Or, as Rosa Luxemburg expressed it with stark simplicity:
“Those who do not move, do not notice their chains.”
