In one hand it makes you aware of how things function in class-society and even in nature, and help you form an objective analysis.
On the other hand it makes you depressed about the current capitalist state of the world.

A resolution to the contradictions is inevitable, but this doesn’t mean revolution is inevitable. We could, for instance, succumb to fascism before the revolution begins. (This would resolve certain contradictions and introduce others in turn.) As far as I know, Marx doesn’t endorse a deterministic stance toward the future.
Not to disagree with your overall point about revolutionary optimism.
I agree with you and did mean to come off as saying revolution was totally guaranteed, I might have been caught up in the need to demonstrate optimism such that I didn’t make it fully clear, the same conditions that disillusion and make it easier for us to reach people and not just get ignored, also serves reaction and help them make new fascists, so we can’t afford to slow in our own efforts, we need to reach as many as can be reached before things get too bad, for the best chances.
