How else are we supposed to justify things?
Is that a serious question? I don't want to sound condescending if it is. But it's just a very odd question. We are literally discussing a text now that is justifying something without a priori knowledge of the outcome. Or do you mean it in the broader sense of everything is justified solely by arguing for a potential outcome or looking to am achieved outcome? Because that's... i don't know man, like consequentialism is a fine enough philosophy but it's just odd to believe it's the only school of thought.
It is, as far as I know, a necessary part of materialist thought. It's why the common refrain of "that wasn't real capitalism" is laughable, because it appeals to some ethereal platonic ideal of capitalism rather than looking at how the system manifests itself in and impacts the real world.
