Marx’s revolutionary theory sometimes collapsed into overwrought polemic stylistically

Evidence

As justified as Marx’s critique, and as revolutionary as the substance of his theory may be, they sometimes amount linguistically to an overwrought polemic. An example of this can be seen in Marx’s treatment of other authors in The German Ideology, many of whom are ‘maliciously embarrassed’ therein. — Dirk Braunstein, Adorno’s Critique of Political Economy, 976
