>For Horkheimer, the working class had been a revolutionary subject only in the abstract>It was essentially an empty placeholder for the subject which would overthrow an economic and social system which they considered wrong>If it failed to live up to its expectations, then it could easily be replaced by another subject of revolutionThese "other subjects of revolution" that Horkheimer speaks of are today's assortment of idpol minority groups that replaced the working class as the focus of the western left.
