Marxism’s goal is realizing philosophy by abolishing it

Evidence

The dialectic is in any case not exactly a philosophy in that sense, but rather that peculiar other thing, a “unity of theory and practice.” Its ideal (which famously involves the realization and the abolition of philosophy all at once) is not the invention of a better philosophy that — in opposition to all of Godel’s well-known laws of gravity — seeks to do without premises altogether, but rather the transformation of the natural and social world into a meaningful totality such that “totality” in the form of a philosophical system will no longer be required. — Fredric Jameson, Postmodernism, or, The Cultural Logic…, 721
