"The ideological grounding is still inherent within todays scale of development despite the augmentations."

What I hope this means is that the grounding (material cause - i.e. capitalistic organisation) of the differences in behaviour between classes (e.g. how you hold your knife and fork or whether you say 'wicked innit' or 'fabulous darling') is still the same today despite increased productivity (through technological advance) meaning the material standard of living is greater for everyone but for some more than others (i.e. relative poverty is increasing (as Marx said it would)).
