bourgeois observers can be just as dogmatic as left-wing ones (if not
more so), but some of the avoid dogma as much as some left-wing ones
(if not more). We have to pick and choose our sources of information.
It depends on what questions we're trying to answer.

The difference is not in the details as much in underlying
assumptions. Bourgeois observers see the capitalist world as
"basically just, basically stable" even though there might be
decisions. Us leftoids see the capitalist world as basically unjust,
while some see it as always in crisis.
