The homology is as crude an analytic tool as the base and superstructure model.

Evidence

At the same time, it must be said that the notion of the homology rapidly proved to be an embarrassment and turned out to be as crude and vulgar an idea as “base and superstructure” ever was, the excuse for the vaguest kind of general formulations and the most unenlightening assertions of “identity” between entities of utterly distinct magnitude and properties. — Fredric Jameson, Postmodernism, or, The Cultural Logic…, 430
