Even fucking Disco Elysium has parts that sounds hyper religious when talking about it without meaning it.Because, at least as Marxism, it is a religion. Marx claimed he literally had a divine vision that revealed the "science" to him. The "forces of production" are essentially God. Socialism claims to operate based on a supernatural omniscient and omnipotent force. The proletariat triumphs when Jesus returns the contradictions of capitalism cause it to collapse and the battle between Good and Evil ends in utopia. "Late stage capitalism" is the Great Tribulation.
