Reactions to capitalism defy the logic codes of radical theory.

Evidence

The consequence of the hegemony of capitalism, that is, the social and political reactions to capitalism, have seldom held to those conjectured by a logic bound by the laws of “capitalism.” It is not that those reactions have been illogical, but that they have failed to conform to the political economic code emergent from capitalist society. It is this same code that still influences—maintains, as it were—the epistemological boundaries of radical social theory. — Cedric J. Robinson, Black Marxism_ The Making of the Black…, 372
