Marx, Spinoza, Althusser
While the explicit Althusserian engagement with Marx’s Capital remained largely limited to Reading Capital, after 1968, Nick Nesbitt argues, this theoretical intervention remained insistent, adopting the form of a general theory of materialist dialectic. The book thus analyzes the Althusserianist theory of a materialist dialectic across diverse sites including Althusser’s unpublished archive, Macherey’s exposition of Spinoza’s Ethics, and Badiou’s Logics of Worlds, while simultaneously bringing this fully-developed theory of materialist dialectic to bear anew on the reading of Capital itself, to show that Spinoza's influence on Marx is far greater--and that of Hegel increasingly diminishing--than has been previously thought.

Hell yeah
Spinoza? No. Read Ray Brassiere Also Lukacs joins Stalins significance later in life…rejecting a good amount of his famous work history and class consciousness
One thing comes to mind - materialist dialectic is also dependent on technology. The same technologies which also wield tyranny. Including the types we are using currently to consume all such information and content.
