The work was, as >>82911226 pointed out, the work was a response to many "enlightened" ideas of the time; the main target was Chernyshevsky and his "What Is to Be Done?", very influential among revolutionaries at the to the point of Lenin himself writing a book with the same name. Due to it being the most famous and relevant of all of those 19th century giga-autismus, it's the best one to look at and see what this so called "positive", the "progress" is all about.

The dialectic is a not a god, but an idol; not a science but a myth. Karl Popper himself saw it and pointed out the unfalsifiability of it, anything goes and can be seen as evidence of it being "right"; Georges Sorel also realized it and wrote about its potential not as a way to explain the world, but to mobilize and control the masses towards a revolution. It's a priest wearing a lab coat instead of a cassock, an inversion, religious fanaticism. And there is also this so called "class consciousness", they describe it as some kind of gnosis to free the elected from the tyranny of the Demiurge, because our "theory" is so awesome you will inevitably agree with us if you understand it, people who disagree with us are just ugly, dumb and retarded, right?

Utopians are arrogant and don't hesitate in calling others "backwards", "counter-revolutionary" and "reactionary"; if trying to "emancipate" fish from water is the new deal, call me "backwards"; if a childish revolt against reality itself is the revolution, call me "counter-revolutionary"; if a guy invades my house and starts breaking everything, my desire will be not to praise, but to REACT and shoot him.
These individuals are, above all, products of a bourgeois and decadent society; they are not a true antithesis to the current rule of the merchants, but a similar kind of materialistic garbage, economism and cringe autismus.
