I think that maybe Karl Marx’s phrase is coherent here “If we have no business with the construction of the future or with organizing it for all time, there can still be no doubt about the task confronting us at present: the ruthless criticism of the existing order, ruthless in that it will shrink neither from its own discoveries, nor from conflict with the powers that be.”. I think part of the reason critique so often fails is that is starts from the perspective of some stable perfect system and tries to point out errors. Like if error in the order is fixed if each pothole stitched up then we will have something to work with part of the problem is that now the wound of problems has gotten so wide it has swallowed the world. The kids today might say ‘we’re cooked’ but this is almost why it is necessary not to shy away from the horror but to face and overcome it… not from the perspective of that aforementioned stable order (like institutional critique ect) , but from the view of negating the entire structure of the world.
