If Marx and Bakunin had just given in to their clear mutual attraction and fucked out an ideological successor we could have achieved leftist unity and avoided a whole lot of suffering by now.

It's a reference to Rafael's School of Athens. Plato and Aristotle are in the centre of the painting: Plato is pointing upwards to the realm of ideal forms, and Aristotle is pointing forwards, into the empirical world.
