How about something intangible? Like hope or inspiration? Or is
Marxist theory too materialistic to accommodate such things?

CB: This is an understandable , but vulgar reading of the Marxist sense of
"materialism". Lenin wrote reams about "class consciousness" , "class
conscious workers", and even "spirit". Lenin also famously said "Without
revolutionary theory , there can be no revolutionary movement". Marxists
understand the need for enthusiasm, esprit de corps, _comradeship_ to succeed.
It is unfortunate that the American term "idealism", in the sense of aspire to
high political purpose .gets confused with Engels' sense of philosophical
idealism. Marxists are for political idealism , not philosophical idealism.
The struggle continues; victory is certain
