This was intended as a comment to my claim that from the point of
view of the bourgeois we are irrational. I do agree with Chris on
this issue, certainly. But at the same time it is also true that the
irrational character of capitalism does not appear as such to the
eyes of the capitalist, who, on the contrary, will claim (and resort
to Kant or Descartes, for example) that modern bourgeois society is
rational to the marrow.

"One" is, politically, as a conscious and humble member of a
collective subject. Taking power is, of course, taking power by the
revolutionary class (or classes, if you don't mind, Chris).
