> is close-to-incomprehensible to me

Because it's written for an audience of people who are very familiar with structuralism, Althusser, and the general development of Marxist philosophy over a 200 year period of time.

This is no different than a paper like "Attention is All You Need" expecting you to have a background in neural networks, recurrent neural networks specifically, neural-language models, and the transformer architecture.

It's strange to me that philosophy is presumed exempt from having technical language and expecting a prepared reader where nearly all other fields are not.
