I very appreciate the analysis conducted by Roberto Finelli on Marx’s textes, but I have some doubts regarding the total horizon that Finelli promises: the accomplished “abstraction” (as “dematerialisation”) that Marx had prophesied. In this paper I try to explain why I don’t think that Marx was a prophet; I don’t think that the world (and the capitalistic production) has become immaterial; I don’t think that the main problem is a “catastrophe of emotion”…
