Karl Marx "In the approach to woman as the spoil and hand-maid of communal lust is expressed the infinite degradation in which man exists for himself, for the secret of this approach has its unambiguous, decisive, plain and undisguised expression in the relation of man to woman and in the manner in which the direct and natural species-relationship is conceived. The direct, natural, and necessary relation of person to person is the relation of man to woman. In this natural species-relationship man’s relation to nature is immediately his relation to man, just as his relation to man is immediately his relation to nature – his own natural destination. In this relationship, therefore, is sensuously manifested, reduced to an observable fact, the extent to which the human essence has become nature to man, or to which nature to him has become the human essence of man. From this relationship one can therefore judge man’s whole level of development. From the character of this relationship follows how much man as a species-being, as man, has come to be himself and to comprehend himself; the relation of man to woman is the most natural relation of human being to human being. It therefore reveals the extent to which man’s natural behaviour has become human, or the extent to which the human essence in him has become a natural essence – the extent to which his human nature has come to be natural to him. This relationship also reveals the extent to which man’s need has become a human need; the extent to which, therefore, the other person as a person has become for him a need – the extent to which he in his individual existence is at the same time a social being.

Sex in biology is defined essentially by role in sexual reproduction at the cellular level, gametes specifically.
Reproduction is _the_ most important concept in biology and natural history because species reproduction is central to species perpetuation. The other bodily organs, including brain are auxiliary to the gonadal sexes in defining sex in biology.

I think it’s just a lucky coincidence; in helping Trump get elected , Putin was only interested in influencing American policy toward Russia,especially Ukraine issues, not the policy toward the whole world; turns out Trump is wrecking the imperium . Trump is also attacking the American People.
Putin does not want WWIII. The Russian experienced war a thousand times more than Americans: 27 million dead ; they want peace a thousand times more than Americans

Marx's Theses on Feuerbach 1 and 2 and 11 :Action speaks louder than Words <
<
I The chief defect of all hitherto existing materialism – that of Feuerbach included – is that the thing, reality, sensuousness, is conceived only in the form of the object or of contemplation ( Words), but not as sensuous human activity ( CB: Action), practice, not subjectively. Hence, in contradistinction to materialism, the active (Action) side was developed abstractly by idealism – which, of course, does not know real, sensuous activity as such. Feuerbach wants sensuous objects, really distinct from the thought objects, but he does not conceive human activity (Action) itself as objective activity . Hence, in The Essence of Christianity, he regards the theoretical (CB: Words) attitude as the only genuinely human attitude, while practice is conceived and fixed only in its dirty-judaical manifestation. Hence he does not grasp the significance of “revolutionary”, of “practical-critical”, activity (Action).
II The question whether objective truth can be attributed to human thinking is not a question of theory (Words)but is a practical ( Action) question. Man must prove the truth — i.e. the reality and power, the this-sidedness of his thinking in practice (Action). The dispute over the reality or non-reality of thinking (Words ) that is isolated from practice (Action) is a purely scholastic question.<
The philosophers have only interpreted(Words) the world, in various ways; the point is to change it (by Action)

Burkina Faso Socialism : toward to each according to need from each according to ability
Burkina Faso Becomes Africa's Most
Affordable Nation Under Traoré
<
Breaking Story from West Africa: Under the leadership of Captain Ibrahim Traoré, Burkina Faso is undergoing one of the most ambitious transformations in modern African history. For decades, families struggled with crushing costs of food, housing, healthcare, and education. But today, things are changing. Free education, free healthcare, affordable housing, and an agricultural boom are reshaping the nation's destiny. Food inflation dropped from 15% to 5% in just 18 months. Free primary and secondary education boosted school attendance by 30%. Healthcare costs fell by 60%, with free clinics, vaccines, and maternal care. Affordable housing projects freed thousands of families from rental poverty. This is more than policy. It's a revolution of dignity, sovereignty, and hope. Burkina Faso is proving that <

5 THINGS IBRAHIM TRAORE DID AFTER TAKING POWER THAT GOT AFRICANS TALKING
He reportedly refused the full presidential salary and continued receiving his normal military salary as a soldier.<
2 He reduced and balanced the salaries of top government officials, saying leadership should not be about luxury while citizens struggle.
Government workers such as teachers, nurses, and doctors reportedly received 50% salary increases to improve living conditions and public service motivation.
He reduced dependence on imported food products and pushed for more local production and factory development. The country now produces its own rice, tomatoes, milk, wheat, sugar and many more things.

Marxism and Darwinism
Comments on Ian Argus’s article on unity of Marxism and Darwinism ; Issue 65 ISR https://isreview.org/issue/65/marx-and-engelsand-darwin/index.html When Marx read Origin a year later, he was just as enthusiastic, calling it “the book which contains the basis in natural history for our view.”2 In a letter to the German socialist Ferdinand Lasalle, he wrote: Darwin’s work is most important and suits my purpose in that it provides a basis in natural science for the historical class struggle… Despite all shortcomings, it is here that, for the first time, “teleology” in natural science is not only dealt a mortal blow but its rational meaning is empirically explained.3 <
Charles Brown However , the Darwinian struggle for existence is not directly between members of the same species ; but the class struggle is . The Darwinian struggle for existence is a struggle for individual survival - get enough to eat , not get eaten , not freeze or overheat to death , not fall out of a tree . Very rarely is this a conflict between members of the same species . / <
“ After five years of scientific research on the Beagle and two more years of study at home, Darwin came to a heretical conclusion: species were not immutable. All animals were descended from common ancestors, different species resulted from gradual changes over millions of years, and God had nothing to do with it. It is difficult, today, to appreciate just how shocking this idea would be to the middle and upper classes of Darwin’s time. Religion wasn’t just the “opium of the masses”—it gave the wealthy moral justification for their privileged lives in a world of constant change and gross inequality.” Natural selection In Origin, Darwin argued that three factors combine to create new species: population pressure, variation and inheritance, and natural selection. 1) Population pressure: All organisms tend to have more offspring than can survive in the local environment. Many individuals either do not survive or are not able to reproduce. <
CB : Yes , however , all organisms are mortal . All of them eventually don’t survive in the local environment. The simpler way of describing the distinction between fit and unfit , selected for and against, is between those who _reproduce and those who don’t reproduce_. Those who die before reproducing and , therefore do not pass on their genotype, unfit , and those who pass on their genotype ( or approximately half of it ), fit.
I know the above language is from Darwin. Frankly , I have a hypothesis that Darwin new this formulation was off for really describing his theory , but was allying /appealing to Malthus in Darwin’s political struggle with the religious powers-that-be ; in other words , Darwin was using an idea similar to the _parson_ Malthus’ idea on overpopulation ; he was using Malthus for religious cover. <
At any rate, my point here ( and please argue against it , if you would ) is that most of the struggle for existence, to survive long enough to reproduce does not occur _ directly between_two animals of the same species ( using modern definition of “species”, two organisms of opposite sexes able to mate and produce fertile offspring) . It is not struggle, for example , between two tigers over the same dead prey , one trying to take it from the other . Rather , it is success or failure of the predator or prey in the struggle for existence between them - the prey escaping and surviving , and the predator starving ; or the predator surviving and prey dying . Times of extreme scarcity would produce intra-species struggles ; I’m thinking these are rare in a species’s history. So, since the class struggle is between members of the same species, it does not derive from the Darwinian struggle for existence , which is not mainly within the same species. <
Another aspect of this is seen from the fact that the exploited working classes in history reproduce at higher rates than the rich ruling classes . So, though the rich win the class struggle , the poor win the Darwinian reproductive struggle- the rich get richer and the poor get children. cb at 1:43 PM http://take10charles.blogspot.com/2021/08/marxism-and-darwinism.html

t. A third of America is descended from the original con-federates
This week, the president has hit the floor in his support. A new Reuters poll found that Donald Trump's approval is 35 percent. A new Q poll found that it's 33 percent. Nate Silver said it's lower than Joe Biden's was after the Disaster Debate. While there's hope his numbers will keep falling, they probably won't. A third of America is descended from the original con-federates. Trump is burning up their lives and fortunes, but they're stand by their man.

Policinski, minority pro- fessional staff member. OPENING STATEMENT OF REPRESENTATIVE MITCHELL, PRESIDING Representative MITCHELL. Good morning. The hearing will now come to order. Today we shall hold a hearing to address the issue of economic disparities that exist between white and black America. The focus of this hearing will be to develop costs associated with economic disparities and to provide a background for an analysis of the costs of discrimination. As a Member of Congress, I have been a proponent of economic growth and programs targeted to meet the needs of the minority community. I am reasonably sure that my colleagues have become annoyed when I constantly refer to the disparity of unemployment and the disparity of rates between blacks and whites. In fact, I have earned a name, a reputation as the economic care- taker of the black community. I am not at all sure that is apropos, but nevertheless, it is there. We discussed the disparity in unemployment and suggested remedies to suggest a more equitable dispersion of its effects, yet we have not acknowledged that economic disparity is costing the black community in foregone revenues. Today, we want to address the issue of this revenue loss or imposed cost caused by institutional barriers preventing economic parity. We have asked for and received from the Congressional Research Service a research paper which is an estimate of the loss in potential gross national product due to existing employment, productivity, and wage differentials between white and nonwhite workers in the United States. This paper measures the potential increase in the Nation's output assuming a hypothetical situation in which economic differentials did not exist, while at the same time assuming other crucial accommodating economic activity. (1) 2 Using 1978 data, this paper shows that nonwhite workers would have gained $9.7 billion in personal income if their unemployment rate and median salary were commensurate with their white counter- parts. Due to excessive rates of unemployment targeted to the non- white community, there was a $9.7 billion loss in personal income. That factor, coupled with a calculation of $27.9 billion that could have been generated by nonwhite workers, who were already em- ployed, had they received the same median full-time annual wages and/or salaries as white workers, totals $37.6 billion in foregone per- sonal income in the nonwhite communities of America in 1978. In 1 year, the nonwhite communities of America lost $37.6 billion due to racial disparities of the community. Today wve have two witnesses who will address the issue of the costs of racial disparities in the economy. I am delighted to say that both persons are friends and persons whom I have known for a long period of time and individuals for whom I have a very happy and utmost respect. Mr. Melvin Humphrey, who is the Director of Research for the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, will discuss his research and conclusions in measuring the costs of racial disparities. Mr. Victor Perlo, who is a private consultant and professor at the New School of Social Research, New York, N.Y., will discuss his ex- tensive research in the area of racial disparities. Gentlemen, it is so very kind of you, both of you, to take the time to be here. I know what your schedules are. I know what the demands are on you. I would suggest that we hear from both of you, and then we will move into the question period. At this point I will place in the hearing record the research paper I referred to in my opening statement. [The research paper follows:] AN ESTIMATE OF THE Loss IN POTENTIAL GROSS NATIONAL PRODUCT DUE TO EXISTING EMPLOYMENT, PRODUCTIVITY, AND WAGE DIFFERENTIALS BETWEEN WHITE AND NONWHITE WORKERS IN THE UNITED STATES (By Charles C. Ciccone, specialist in business and labor economics, and John D. Fisk, analyst in labor economics, Economics Division, Congressional Research Service, Library of Congress) ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The authors wish to acknowledge the thoughtful comments and help of Dr. Everson Hull, specialist in macroeconomics in the Con- gressional Research Service. Of course, any shortfalls in the paper must be attributed to the authors. This analysis estimates the loss in potential 1978 U.S. gross national product (GNP) in current dollars due to existing differentials in employment levels, pro- ductivity and average wages between white and non-white workers., This report measures the potential increase in the Nation's output assuming, as instructed by the requester, a hypothetical situation in which the differentials did not exist, and assuming other crucial accommodating economic activity. Average produc- tivity, employment, and wages are presumed to be equal to that prevailing for white workers. This report makes no attempt to isolate particular causes for the existing dif- ferentials in employment, productivity, and wage levels. Rather, the analysis recognizes that many current or past causes may exist, including: (a) Unequal skill and educational levels; (b) racially discriminating hiring and pay raise policies; 1 We refer to current 1978 dollars. 3 (c) unequal health care and housing; (d) differences in labor market mobility; <

Today we shall hold a hearing to address the issue of economic disparities that exist between white and black America. The focus of this hearing will be to develop costs associated with economic disparities and to provide a background for an analysis of the costs of discrimination. As a Member of Congress, I have been a proponent of economic growth and programs targeted to meet the needs of the minority community. I am reasonably sure that my colleagues have become annoyed when I constantly refer to the disparity of unemployment and the disparity of rates between blacks and whites. In fact, I have earned a name, a reputation as the economic care- taker of the black community. I am not at all sure that is apropos, but nevertheless, it is there. We discussed the disparity in unemployment and suggested remedies to suggest a more equitable dispersion of its effects, yet we have not acknowledged that economic disparity is costing the black community in foregone revenues. Today, we want to address the issue of this revenue loss or imposed cost caused by institutional barriers preventing economic parity. We have asked for and received from the Congressional Research Service a research paper which is an estimate of the loss in potential gross national product due to existing employment, productivity, and wage differentials between white and nonwhite workers in the United States. This paper measures the potential increase in the Nation's output assuming a hypothetical situation in which economic differentials did not exist, while at the same time assuming other crucial accommodating economic activity. (1) 2 Using 1978 data, this paper shows that nonwhite workers would have gained $9.7 billion in personal income if their unemployment rate and median salary were commensurate with their white counter- parts. Due to excessive rates of unemployment targeted to the non- white community, there was a $9.7 billion loss in personal income. That factor, coupled with a calculation of $27.9 billion that could have been generated by nonwhite workers, who were already em- ployed, had they received the same median full-time annual wages and/or salaries as white workers, totals $37.6 billion in foregone per- sonal income in the nonwhite communities of America in 1978. In 1 year, the nonwhite communities of America lost $37.6 billion due to racial disparities of the community. Today wve have two witnesses who will address the issue of the costs of racial disparities in the economy. I am delighted to say that both persons are friends and persons whom I have known for a long period of time and individuals for whom I have a very happy and utmost respect. Mr. Melvin Humphrey, who is the Director of Research for the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, will discuss his research and conclusions in measuring the costs of racial disparities. Mr. Victor Perlo, who is a private consultant and professor at the New School of Social Research, New York, N.Y., will discuss his ex- tensive research in the area of racial disparities. Gentlemen, it is so very kind of you, both of you, to take the time to be here. I know what your schedules are. I know what the demands are on you. I would suggest that we hear from both of you, and then we will move into the question period. At this point I will place in the hearing record the research paper I referred to in my opening statement. [The research paper follows:] AN ESTIMATE OF THE Loss IN POTENTIAL GROSS NATIONAL PRODUCT DUE TO EXISTING EMPLOYMENT, PRODUCTIVITY, AND WAGE DIFFERENTIALS BETWEEN WHITE AND NONWHITE WORKERS IN THE UNITED STATES (By Charles C. Ciccone, specialist in business and labor economics, and John D. Fisk, analyst in labor economics, Economics Division, Congressional Research Service, Library of Congress) ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The authors wish to acknowledge the thoughtful comments and help of Dr. Everson Hull, specialist in macroeconomics in the Con- gressional Research Service. Of course, any shortfalls in the paper must be attributed to the authors. This analysis estimates the loss in potential 1978 U.S. gross national product (GNP) in current dollars due to existing differentials in employment levels, pro- ductivity and average wages between white and non-white workers., This report measures the potential increase in the Nation's output assuming, as instructed by the requester, a hypothetical situation in which the differentials did not exist, and assuming other crucial accommodating economic activity. Average produc- tivity, employment, and wages are presumed to be equal to that prevailing for white workers. This report makes no attempt to isolate particular causes for the existing dif- ferentials in employment, productivity, and wage levels. Rather, the analysis recognizes that many current or past causes may exist, including: (a) Unequal skill and educational levels; (b) racially discriminating hiring and pay raise policies; 1 We refer to current 1978 dollars. 3 (c) unequal health care and housing; (d) differences in labor market mobility; <

Charles Brown; My teachers; teacher, Professor Leslie A. White founded a materialist evolutionary anthropological school of thought at the University of Michigan. He based it importantly on Lewis Henry Morgan's thesis is _Ancient Society_
http://take10charles.blogspot.com/2022/03/leslie-white-founded-evolutionary.html
To make a long story short, White's theory was centered in physics-engineering-thermodynamics rather than Darwinian evolutionary theory. White focussed on ENERGY capture ;"that culture evolves as societies increase their per capita energy capture through technological efficiency", Rather than population growth or shrinking. Darwinian natural selection fitness is measured by population size and direction. Dinosaurs were absolutely UNFIT when they went instinct, when their population went to zero. Darwin's statement of this principle is that " rarity is a precursor to extinction.' following the dinosaur extinction, mammals were very fit , as their population grew greatly.
Human population grew throughout the Stone Age such that Genus Homo species expanded out of Africa to cover the whole globe, both hemispheres.
With the advent of Civilization , human population grew even more, thus increasing its fitness, the fitness of the human species, the human genome ( only species , types, have fitnesses, NOT INDIVIDUAL ORGANISMS. Individual organisms are carriers of TYPES, WHOLE GENOMES OR SPECIFIC TRAIT TYPES). Increased energy capture with Civilization did correspond with population increase. So, evolution of culture to increased Darwinian fitness did correspond with increased energy capture.
At any rate, increase in energy capture did correspond to increased human species fitness ,or population size . ( not necessarily per capita energy capture; Marshall Sahlins, White's student criticized White's per capital energy capture formula as not empirically valid).
The Energy Theory of Cultural Evolution: Instead of natural selection, White hypothesized that the evolution of human culture is driven by thermodynamics. He argued that a society advances based on its ability to harness per-capita energy from the environment (captured by his formula: \(E \times T > P\), where \(E\) = Energy, \(T\) = Technology, and \(P\) = Product)
White is correct that the natural selection principle does not apply to conflicts WITHIN the human species BECAUSE CONFLICTS WITHIN THE SPECIES DO NOT INCREASE THE SPECIES POPULATION OR RAISE ITS FITNESS (RECALL DARWININ FITNESSIS MEASURED BY POPULATION GROWTH OR SHRINKAGE). So-called Social Darwinism is actually anti-Social Darwinism when it falsely characterizes conflicts with in the species (such as war) as natural selection dynamics. Natural selection dynamics are conflicts between different species, not within the same species.
White is indirectly correct that society "advances" (in the sense that it increases species fitness) "based on its ability to harness per-capita energy from the environment) , because this correlates in history with POPULATION INCREASE with the advent of Civilization.
AI Overview Yes, the total human population spiked significantly with the advent of Civilization ,6,000 years ago.
As humanity transitioned from nomadic hunting and gathering to agricultural communities, and eventually to the first city-states (like those in Mesopotamia and Egypt), the world population surged from an estimated 5 million to around 40 million globally.The advent of civilization ~6,000 to 10,000 years ago caused this explosion for several concrete reasons:Higher Caloric Output: Farming and agriculture allowed humans to produce a much higher volume of food per acre than foraging.Sedentary Lifestyles: Staying in one place altered women's ovarian function and shortened periods of lactation, drastically increasing female fertility and birth rates.Better Infant Survival: While individual lifespans didn't necessarily improve, having reliable, storable food surpluses enhanced early childhood survival rates.You can read more about this fundamental demographic turning point on Our World in Data.

Leslie White founded evolutionary anthropology school based on Lewis Henry Morgan
Charles Brown
Problem with White's historical materialism was he based it in physics ( human efficiency in energy capture ; human ability to counter to second law of thermodynamics) ; _and not in Natural Historical Evolution or species population growth /Darwinian Fitness_ .
His student well known for writing on White's evolutionary theory of efficiency of energy capture , and general and specific evolution of cultures , Marshall Sahlins , self-critically broke with White's energy capture thesis , but did not take up Natural Historical -Darwinian analysis-synthesis , because rightwing Social Darwinisms ( Spencer , sociobiology, evolutionary psychology, white supremacy ) dominated that field.
However , importantly and critically , White and Sahlins championed fiercely SYMBOLIC SIGN COMMUNICATION AS THE DIFFERENTIA SPECIFICA OF HUMAN BEINGS. This is profoundly correct . I have developed very much anthropological science based in Darwinian-Blackwellian human Natural History and Evolution; and White-Sahlins-LeviStraussian Structural Anthropology and Semiotics.
(In anthroplogical intellectual kindhip , I consider myself Son of Sahlins and Grandson of Leslie White - smiles)
Here is Sahlins on his sublation- overcoming and preserving - of White's historical materialism ( my position is a negation of Sahlins's negation White's materialist physics determinism; mine is Marxist Natural History determinism with more human natural history knowledge than Darwin , Marx and Engels had)
https://www.nytimes.com/2008/09/21/magazine/21DubaiSIDE-t.html Sept. 19, 2008 In the pre-’60s at the University of Michigan, rebellion consisted of listening gleefully to the anthropologist Leslie White going mano a mano with God. White was one of those maverick intellectuals and politicians, like Thorstein Veblen, Charles Beard and Robert La Follette, who came out of the rural American heartland to off the pieties-and powers-that-be. Some of these intellectuals were village atheists from the beginning. Others, like White, only shook off the idiocies of rural life when they went to the city and the university.
We never knew White was a member of the Socialist Labor Party in the ’30s and early ’40s, contributing articles to The Weekly People under the name John Steel. Nor could you have guessed from his so-Americanized version of Marxism: a theory of cultural evolution based singularly on technological progress. Progress in the Neolithic, he claimed, came from the increase in the amount of energy harnessed per capita because of plant and animal domestication. He was not amused when I objected that energy “per capita” was the same as in the Old Stone Age, since the primary mechanical source remained the human body.
( CB: Come to think of it , after all these years of hearing Sahlins's critique, White's formula would have some validity if we just use "energy harnessed " period -no "per capta" )
Sahlins continues : "On the other hand, I have never repudiated White’s concept of culture as a thoroughly symbolic phenomenon. I never tired of repeating his dictum that no ape can appreciate the difference between holy water and distilled water — because there is none, chemically speaking. That, for me, resolved the contradiction in his own teaching and that of the many human scientists who separate culture from practical activity, as if the symbolic dimension of economic behavior were an afterthought of the material. The “economic basis” of society is culturally constructed. Even our supposedly “rational choices” are based on another, meaningful logic that, for example, makes steak a more prestigious food than hamburger, or women’s clothes different in significant ways from men’s. It turns out that materialism is a form of idealism, because it’s wrong, too.
Marshall Sahlins is an emeritus professor of anthropology at the University of Chicago and the author most recently of “The Western Illusion of Human Nature.”

WHITE, LESLIE A. fig.1White accepted an appointment at the University of Buffalo in 1927. Following a visit to a nearby Seneca Indian Reservation, White read Lewis Henry Morgan’s League of the Iroquois. Morgan’s evolutionary ideas resonated with White and he read the works of other evolutionary theorists including Herbert Spenser and Edward B. Tylor. White joined the faculty of the University of Michigan following the retirement of Julian Steward in 1930. Despite tensions with other faculty and administration, he stayed at Michigan until his retirement in 1970. During his tenure, the institution was transformed into one of the leading centers for anthropological teaching and research in the country.
White became a prolific writer while at Michigan, publishing The Science of Culture (1949), The Evolution of Culture: The Development of Civilization to the Fall of Rome (1959), and The Concept of Culture (1973). The Science of Culture is widely regarded as White’s most important work and outlines his ideas about the relationship between culture, culturology (the scientific study of culture), and cultural evolution. According to White, the primary force in cultural evolution is technology and a culture advances as “the amount of energy harnessed per capita per year increases or as the efficiency or means of controlling energy is increased.” As technology becomes more efficient (and more energy is harnessed), the social structure and ideological norms of the society change accordingly.
In addition to his writings on evolution, White continued his lifelong interest in Lewis Henry Morgan and wrote several volumes on Morgan’s research and life. These include Excerpts From the European Travel Journal of Lewis H. Morgan (1937) and Pioneers in American Anthropology: The Bandelier-Morgan Letters 1837—1883 (1940). He was also an avid field researcher who published several monographs including The Acoma Indians (1932), The Pueblo of San Felipe (1932), and The Pueblo of Santa Ana, New Mexico (1942).
White retired from the University of Michigan in 1970. Following his retirement, White moved to Santa Barbara and continued writing at the University of California. On March 31, 1975, he died of a heart attack. White will be remembered as a “neo-evolutionist” who reintroduced the concept of evolution into anthropological theory.

Yes, Morgan's Societas / Civitas distinction is still fundamental in anthropology all the way to White's student Sahlins.
Societas is the Stone Age; phylogenetically based kinship organizes society. With Civitas is the origin of the male supremacist family , private property and the state, a la Engels.

By culturology, White meant the application to culture of the organismic analogy of structure-function that Herbert Spencer had applied to society. This approach to culture was philosophically materialistic and nonreductionist. However, White was never a social Darwinist, and he opposed Spencer’s interpretations of the Darwinian terms “competition” and “survival of the fittest.” He promoted Tylor’s definition of culture and denied that cultural variation derived from racial differences among humans.

AI Overview
Leslie A. White’s The Evolution of Culture is the 1959 foundational text of neo-evolutionary anthropology. It argues that culture evolves as societies increase their per capita energy capture through technological efficiency. White divides culture into three interdependent subsystems—Technological, Sociological, and Ideological—with technology acting as the primary engine for evolutionary progress.
en.wikipedia.org
+1
The book systematically outlines cultural development, progressing from the earliest human societies through the fall of Rome. The structural outline of the book's core argument is as follows:
1. The Theory of Cultural Evolution
The Energy Principle: White’s primary law of cultural evolution dictates that culture evolves as the amount of energy harnessed per capita per year increases, or as the efficiency of energy control improves.
sk.sagepub.com
Culture as Extrasomatic Adaptation: He defines culture as an extrasomatic (outside the body) means of adaptation, consisting of tools, beliefs, and social systems designed to ensure human survival in nature.

2. The Tripartite Structure of Culture
White breaks down every cultural system into three interconnected components, asserting that changes begin in the material base and ripple upward:
Technological Subsystem: The material, mechanical, physical, and chemical tools, as well as the techniques used to subsist. This is the primary determinant of cultural evolution.
en.wikipedia.org
+3
Sociological Subsystem: The interpersonal relations and social structures (e.g., kinship systems, political institutions, and economic organizations) that govern human behavior.
Ideological Subsystem: The beliefs, values, knowledge, and philosophies used to adjust, interpret, and give meaning to the natural and social environments.
3. Stages of Cultural Development
The text traces the evolution of human civilization through escalating stages of energy capture and technological advancement:
The Eolithic and Paleolithic Stages: Characterized by reliance on human energy, rudimentary chipped stone tools, and fire.
The Neolithic Revolution: The shift from hunting and gathering to agriculture and animal husbandry. This enabled humans to capture solar energy more efficiently, leading to sedentary villages, population booms, and the division of labor.
The Age of Metals and Fuel: The mastery of metallurgy followed by the early use of non-human energy sources (wind and water).
sociopedia.co

4. Societal and Ideological Consequences
White demonstrates how these technological milestones necessitated massive changes to social and political structures. For instance, the agricultural revolution transformed societies from small bands based on kinship into large, complex states stratified by class, ownership, and formal government.

Leslie A. White | Cultural Evolution, Social Theory ...Anthropologist Leslie A. White’s Evolution of Culture (1959) outlines a materialist theory of "neo-evolution." He argued that cultures advance primarily through technological development, which increases a society's ability to harness and utilize energy per capita.

Core Principles
Energy Formula: White defined his concept of cultural evolution with the formula
, where
is the amount of energy harnessed per capita,
is the efficiency of the technology used to harness that energy, and
is the cultural development.
Extra-Somatic Adaptation: He famously defined culture as humanity's non-biological ("extra-somatic") means of surviving and adapting to its environment.

Culturology: White advocated for a strictly scientific, objective study of culture as an independent system, coining the term culturology to describe the analysis of symbols and culture without strictly focusing on individual human psychology.

The Three Components of Culture
White structured culture into three interconnected, interdependent layers:

Technological System: The mechanical, physical, and chemical tools used alongside the techniques of how people use them. White argued this is the primary determinant and driving force of cultural evolution.
Sociological System: Social organization—such as kinship, political, and economic systems—which regulates human behavior.
Ideological System: The philosophical, religious, moral, and knowledge-based beliefs that attempt to explain the universe.

Human Energy: Relying solely on human muscle power.
Animal Domestication: Utilizing the energy of domesticated animals for agriculture and transportation.
Plant Domestication: The agricultural revolution, which tapped into the energy of cultivated plants.
Natural Resources: The Industrial Revolution, unlocking the energy from fossil fuels like coal, oil, and gas.
Nuclear Energy: The harnessing of atomic and nuclear power.

Published in 1958, Social Stratification in Polynesia is a foundational anthropological book by Marshall Sahlins. It serves as a classic example of cultural ecology and neo-evolutionary theory, examining how traditional Polynesian societies adapted to their environments and developed varying degrees of social classes, political power, and economic inequality.Key Themes and ConceptsTechno-Environmental Determinism: Sahlins argued that the varying degrees of social stratification in Polynesia were not random. Instead, they were direct adaptations to the productivity of the local environments, agricultural techniques (like intensive irrigation vs. dry-land farming), and available technology.Ranking vs. Stratification: Sahlins differentiated between a "ranked" society (where status is determined by one's genealogical proximity to a divine ancestor) and a "stratified" society (where classes have distinctly unequal access to basic resources and political power).Adaptive Variations: He categorized Polynesian societies based on this hierarchy. Highly stratified societies, like Hawaii and Tonga, developed under environments capable of producing surplus agricultural goods, supporting large populations, and sustaining centralized, despotic chiefs. Conversely, atoll societies (like Pukapuka) with limited resources remained relatively egalitarian.Ramage and Descent-Line Systems: Sahlins analyzed how kinship structures, such as "ramages" (conical clan systems) and descent lines, facilitated or restricted social mobility and the centralization of power.Academic SignificanceThe book was Sahlins's doctoral dissertation at Columbia University, heavily influenced by his mentor, Leslie White, who championed cultural materialism and cultural evolution. It remains a landmark study in Pacific ethnology, demonstrating how economic systems, geography, and kinship interact to shape human social structures.For further reading or a deeper dive into the methodology, you can explore the full text or reviews of the publication on the Internet Archive or the University of California Press Journals archives.

Introduction After Marx’s death, in rummaging through Marx’s manuscripts, Engels came upon Marx’s precis of Ancient Society – a book by progressive US scholar Lewis Henry Morgan and published in London 1877. The precis was written between 1880-81 and contained Marx’s numerous remarks on Morgan as well as passages from other sources. After reading the precis, Engels set out to write a special treatise – which he saw as fulfilling Marx’s will. Working on the book, he used Marx’s precis, and some of Morgan’s factual material and conclusions. He also made use of many and diverse data gleaned in his own studies of the history of Greece, Rome, Old Ireland, and the Ancient Germans. It would, of course, become The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State – the first edition of which was published October 1884 in Hottingen-Zurich. Engels wrote The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State in just two months – beginning toward the end of March 1884 and completing it by the end of May. It focuses on early human history, following the disintegration of the primitive community and the emergence of a class society based on private property. Engels looks into the origin and essence of the state, and concludes it is bound to wither away leaving a classless society. Engels: “Along with [the classes] the state will inevitably fall. Society, which will reorganise production on the basis of a free and equal association of the producers, will put the whole machinery of state where it will then belong: into the museum of antiquity, by the side of the spinning-wheel and the bronze axe.” In 1890, having gathered new material on the history of primitive society, Engels set about preparing a new edition of his book. He studied the latest books on the subject – including those of Russian historian Maxim Kovalevsky. (The fourth edition, Stuttgart, 1892, was dedicated to Kovalevsky.) As a result, he introduced a number of changes in his original text and also considerable insertions. In 1894, Engels’s book appeared in Russian translation. It was the first of Engels’s works published legally in Russia. Lenin would later describe it as “one of the fundamental works of modern socialism.” <

It would, of course, become The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State – the first edition of which was published October 1884 in Hottingen-Zurich. Engels wrote The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State in just two months – beginning toward the end of March 1884 and completing it by the end of May. It focuses on early human history, following the disintegration of the primitive community and the emergence of a class society based on private property. Engels looks into the origin and essence of the state, and concludes it is bound to wither away leaving a classless society. Engels: “Along with [the classes] the state will inevitably fall. Society, which will reorganise production on the basis of a free and equal association of the producers, will put the whole machinery of state where it will then belong: into the museum of antiquity, by the side of the spinning-wheel and the bronze axe.” In 1890, having gathered new material on the history of primitive society, Engels set about preparing a new edition of his book. He studied the latest books on the subject – including those of Russian historian Maxim Kovalevsky. (The fourth edition, Stuttgart, 1892, was dedicated to Kovalevsky.) As a result, he introduced a number of changes in his original text and also considerable insertions. In 1894, Engels’s book appeared in Russian translation. It was the first of Engels’s works published legally in Russia. Lenin would later describe it as “one of the fundamental works of modern socialism.” <

Obama is the “best colored man “ . Trump lyingly tears down Obama from the start of his campaign . Even before the campaign he was prominent in the “Birther” racist crowd who tore down the best colored man by lying he was illegitimate as President because he wasn’t born in the U.S. Trump gives MAGA some body to look down on ; somebody they already look down upon , obviously; they are “convinced “ of by a lie that they want to hear . They say to Trump , “ Lie to me.” MAGA are the lowest white men and women, so , like LBJ says , they empty their pockets for Trump and the Republicans
They empty their pockets by voting for Republicans who cut welfare , food stamps; most people on welfare are white , low income whites. <

one of the biggest takeaways I had from my un you know, 14 days in Moscow, the Russians do not target civilians. The there may be civilians that will be incidental casualties, but the Russians, not just the Russians, go back to the days of the Soviets in World War II. What a contrast with the West. The United States and the United Kingdom routinely targeted and killed civilians with our strategic bombing campaigns. You know, Dresden and Tokyo, Hiroshima, Nagasaki, we killed all of North Korea. We we wiped out virtually every city and village in North Korea during the armistice period negotiating. We don't talk about that one. Whereas the Russians, you don't have you don't have a single case of Russia using strategic bomb, you know, so-called strategic bombing of civilian areas during World War II.

what is an outline of "The Black Family:The Ties That Bind" by Angela Davis +2 "The Black Family: The Ties That Bind" (1987), co-authored by Angela Davis and Fania Davis, is a pamphlet published by the Communist Party USA that challenges the widely held Moynihan Report narrative that the Black family is dysfunctional, instead arguing that it is a resilient structure forged in resistance against slavery and ongoing structural inequality.Core Outline and Key Themes:
Critique of the "Matriarchy" Myth: The document critiques the notion that Black women are "too strong" or that matriarchy is the cause of social issues within the Black community. It argues this perspective blames victims rather than addressing systemic racism.Resistance to Slavery: Davis emphasizes that the Black family served as a vital, nurturing space of resistance during slavery, allowing for the preservation of culture and collective survival.Impact of Economic Conditions: The pamphlet highlights that inequalities in economic conditions, employment, and housing—rather than familial structure—are the primary drivers of issues within Black households.Collective Strength: It champions the adaptability and collective nature of the Black family unit, which often extends beyond the nuclear model.The work serves as a political document intended to provide a pro-socialist, feminist, and anti-racist perspective on social policy and family structures.Angela Davis - UCI Libraries"Racism, Birth Control and Reproductive Rights."

For 60 years, Washington shaped the Middle East.
Now, Russia and China
are quietly rewriting the rules - and America never saw it coming.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has executed one of the most significant diplomatic moves in modern geopolitics
— positioning Moscow
as the new indispensable power in Gulf security.
While Washington focused
elsewhere, Russia built a new regional security framework between Iran and
the Gulf Arab states, expanding directly on China's landmark March 2023
Iran-Saudi Arabia rapprochement that ended 7 years of severed diplomatic relations.
In this analysis, we break down:
• How Russia is systematically dismantling 60 years of American diplomatic primacy in the Middle East
• Russia's dual-track strategy: managing Iran'sbr>

What is Marx’s dialectic? No. 2 passage
"But capitalist production begets, with the inexorability of a law of Nature, its own negation. It is the negation of negation. "
<
The capitalist mode of appropriation, the result of the capitalist mode of production, produces capitalist private property. This is the first negation of individual private property, as founded on the labour of the proprietor. But capitalist production begets, with the inexorability of a law of Nature, its own negation. It is the negation of negation. This does not re-establish private property for the producer, but gives him individual property based on the acquisition of the capitalist era: i.e., on cooperation and the possession in common of the land and of the means of production. The transformation of scattered private property, arising from individual labour, into capitalist private property is, naturally, a process, incomparably more protracted, violent, and difficult, than the transformation of capitalistic private property, already practically resting on socialised production, into socialised property. In the former case, we had the expropriation of the mass of the people by a few usurpers; in the latter, we have the expropriation of a few usurpers by the mass of the people. [2]

An excellent Russian translation of Das Kapital appeared in the spring of 1872. The edition of 3,000 copies is already nearly exhausted. As early as 1871, N. Sieber, Professor of Political Economy in the University of Kiev, in his work David Ricardo’s Theory of Value and of Capital, referred to my theory of value, of money and of capital, as in its fundamentals a necessary sequel to the teaching of Smith and Ricardo. That which astonishes the Western European in the reading of this excellent work, is the author’s consistent and firm grasp of the purely theoretical position.<
That the method employed in Das Kapital has been little understood, is shown by the various conceptions, contradictory one to another, that have been formed of it. Thus the Paris Revue Positiviste reproaches me in that, on the one hand, I treat economics metaphysically, and on the other hand — imagine! — confine myself to the mere critical analysis of actual facts, instead of writing receipts [4] (Comtist ones?) for the cook-shops of the future. In answer to the reproach in re metaphysics, Professor Sieber has it:
In so far as it deals with actual theory, the method of Marx is the deductive method of the whole English school, a school whose failings and virtues are common to the best theoretic economists.
M. Block — Les Théoriciens du Socialisme en Allemagne. Extrait du Journal des Economistes, Juillet et Août 1872 — makes the discovery that my method is analytic and says: Par cet ouvrage M. Marx se classe parmi les esprits analytiques les plus éminents. [By this work, Mr. Marx ranks among the most eminent analytical minds.] German reviews, of course, shriek out at “Hegelian sophistics.” The European Messenger of St. Petersburg in an article dealing exclusively with the method of Das Kapital (May number, 1872, pp. 427–436), finds my method of inquiry severely realistic, but my method of presentation, unfortunately, German-dialectical. It says: At first sight, if the judgment is based on the external form of the presentation of the subject, Marx is the most ideal of ideal philosophers, always in the German, i.e., the bad sense of the word. But in point of fact he is infinitely more realistic than all his forerunners in the work of economic criticism. He can in no sense be called an idealist.
I cannot answer the writer better than by aid of a few extracts from his own criticism, which may interest some of my readers to whom the Russian original is inaccessible.
After a quotation from the preface to my Criticism of Political Economy, Berlin, 1859, pp. IV–VII, where I discuss the materialistic basis of my method, the writer goes on:
The one thing which is of moment to Marx, is to find the law of the phenomena with whose investigation he is concerned; and not only is that law of moment to him, which governs these phenomena, in so far as they have a definite form and mutual connexion within a given historical period. Of still greater moment to him is the law of their variation, of their development, i.e., of their transition from one form into another, from one series of connexions into a different one. This law once discovered, he investigates in detail the effects in which it manifests itself in social life. Consequently, Marx only troubles himself about one thing: to show, by rigid scientific investigation, the necessity of successive determinate orders of social conditions, and to establish, as impartially as possible, the facts that serve him for fundamental starting-points. For this it is quite enough, if he proves, at the same time, both the necessity of the present order of things, and the necessity of another order into which the first must inevitably pass over; and this all the same, whether men believe or do not believe it, whether they are conscious or unconscious of it. Marx treats the social movement as a process of natural history, governed by laws not only independent of human will, consciousness and intelligence, but rather, on the contrary, determining that will, consciousness and intelligence. ... If in the history of civilisation the conscious element plays a part so subordinate, then it is self-evident that a critical inquiry whose subject-matter is civilisation, can, less than anything else, have for its basis any form of, or any result of, consciousness. That is to say, that not the idea, but the material phenomenon alone can serve as its starting-point. Such an inquiry will confine itself to the confrontation and the comparison of a fact, not with ideas, but with another fact. For this inquiry, the one thing of moment is, that both facts be investigated as accurately as possible, and that they actually form, each with respect to the other, different momenta of an evolution; but most important of all is the rigid analysis of the series of successions, of the sequences and concatenations in which the different stages of such an evolution present themselves. But it will be said, the general laws of economic life are one and the same, no matter whether they are applied to the present or the past. This Marx directly denies. According to him, such abstract laws do not exist. On the contrary, in his opinion every historical period has laws of its own. ... As soon as society has outlived a given period of development, and is passing over from one given stage to another, it begins to be subject also to other laws. In a word, economic life offers us a phenomenon analogous to the history of evolution in other branches of biology. The old economists misunderstood the nature of economic laws when they likened them to the laws of physics and chemistry. A more thorough analysis of phenomena shows that social organisms differ among themselves as fundamentally as plants or animals. Nay, one and the same phenomenon falls under quite different laws in consequence of the different structure of those organisms as a whole, of the variations of their individual organs, of the different conditions in which those organs function, &c. Marx, e.g., denies that the law of population is the same at all times and in all places. He asserts, on the contrary, that every stage of development has its own law of population. ... With the varying degree of development of productive power, social conditions and the laws governing them vary too. Whilst Marx sets himself the task of following and explaining from this point of view the economic system established by the sway of capital, he is only formulating, in a strictly scientific manner, the aim that every accurate investigation into economic life must have. The scientific value of such an inquiry lies in the disclosing of the special laws that regulate the origin, existence, development, death of a given social organism and its replacement by another and higher one. And it is this value that, in point of fact, Marx’s book has.
Whilst the writer pictures what he takes to be actually my method, in this striking and [as far as concerns my own application of it] generous way, what else is he picturing but the dialectic method?
Of course the method of presentation must differ in form from that of inquiry. The latter has to appropriate the material in detail, to analyse its different forms of development, to trace out their inner connexion. Only after this work is done, can the actual movement be adequately described. If this is done successfully, if the life of the subject-matter is ideally reflected as in a mirror, then it may appear as if we had before us a mere a priori construction. <
My dialectic method is not only different from the Hegelian, but is its direct opposite. To Hegel, the life process of the human brain, i.e., the process of thinking, which, under the name of “the Idea,” he even transforms into an independent subject, is the demiurgos of the real world, and the real world is only the external, phenomenal form of “the Idea.” With me, on the contrary, the ideal is nothing else than the material world reflected by the human mind, and translated into forms of thought. The mystifying side of Hegelian dialectic I criticised nearly thirty years ago, at a time when it was still the fashion. But just as I was working at the first volume of Das Kapital, it was the good pleasure of the peevish, arrogant, mediocre Ἐπίγονοι [Epigones — Büchner, Dühring and others] who now talk large in cultured Germany, to treat Hegel in same way as the brave Moses Mendelssohn in Lessing’s time treated Spinoza, i.e., as a “dead dog.” I therefore openly avowed myself the pupil of that mighty thinker, and even here and there, in the chapter on the theory of value, coquetted with the modes of expression peculiar to him. The mystification which dialectic suffers in Hegel’s hands, by no means prevents him from being the first to present its general form of working in a comprehensive and conscious manner. With him it is standing on its head. It must be turned right side up again, if you would discover the rational kernel within the mystical shell. In its mystified form, dialectic became the fashion in Germany, because it seemed to transfigure and to glorify the existing state of things. In its rational form it is a scandal and abomination to bourgeoisdom and its doctrinaire professors, because it includes in its comprehension and affirmative recognition of the existing state of things, at the same time also, the recognition of the negation of that state, of its inevitable breaking up; because it regards every historically developed social form as in fluid movement, and therefore takes into account its transient nature not less than its momentary existence; because it lets nothing impose upon it, and is in its essence critical and revolutionary. The contradictions inherent in the movement of capitalist society impress themselves upon the practical bourgeois most strikingly in the changes of the periodic cycle, through which modern industry runs, and whose crowning point is the universal crisis. That crisis is once again approaching, although as yet but in its preliminary stage; and by the universality of its theatre and the intensity of its action it will drum dialectics even into the heads of the mushroom-upstarts of the new, holy Prusso-German empire.

An excellent Russian translation of Das Kapital appeared in the spring of 1872. The edition of 3,000 copies is already nearly exhausted. As early as 1871, N. Sieber, Professor of Political Economy in the University of Kiev, in his work David Ricardo’s Theory of Value and of Capital, referred to my theory of value, of money and of capital, as in its fundamentals a necessary sequel to the teaching of Smith and Ricardo. That which astonishes the Western European in the reading of this excellent work, is the author’s consistent and firm grasp of the purely theoretical position.<
That the method employed in Das Kapital has been little understood, is shown by the various conceptions, contradictory one to another, that have been formed of it. Thus the Paris Revue Positiviste reproaches me in that, on the one hand, I treat economics metaphysically, and on the other hand — imagine! — confine myself to the mere critical analysis of actual facts, instead of writing receipts [4] (Comtist ones?) for the cook-shops of the future. In answer to the reproach in re metaphysics, Professor Sieber has it:
In so far as it deals with actual theory, the method of Marx is the deductive method of the whole English school, a school whose failings and virtues are common to the best theoretic economists.
M. Block — Les Théoriciens du Socialisme en Allemagne. Extrait du Journal des Economistes, Juillet et Août 1872 — makes the discovery that my method is analytic and says: Par cet ouvrage M. Marx se classe parmi les esprits analytiques les plus éminents. [By this work, Mr. Marx ranks among the most eminent analytical minds.] German reviews, of course, shriek out at “Hegelian sophistics.” The European Messenger of St. Petersburg in an article dealing exclusively with the method of Das Kapital (May number, 1872, pp. 427–436), finds my method of inquiry severely realistic, but my method of presentation, unfortunately, German-dialectical. It says: At first sight, if the judgment is based on the external form of the presentation of the subject, Marx is the most ideal of ideal philosophers, always in the German, i.e., the bad sense of the word. But in point of fact he is infinitely more realistic than all his forerunners in the work of economic criticism. He can in no sense be called an idealist.
I cannot answer the writer better than by aid of a few extracts from his own criticism, which may interest some of my readers to whom the Russian original is inaccessible.
After a quotation from the preface to my Criticism of Political Economy, Berlin, 1859, pp. IV–VII, where I discuss the materialistic basis of my method, the writer goes on:
The one thing which is of moment to Marx, is to find the law of the phenomena with whose investigation he is concerned; and not only is that law of moment to him, which governs these phenomena, in so far as they have a definite form and mutual connexion within a given historical period. Of still greater moment to him is the law of their variation, of their development, i.e., of their transition from one form into another, from one series of connexions into a different one. This law once discovered, he investigates in detail the effects in which it manifests itself in social life. Consequently, Marx only troubles himself about one thing: to show, by rigid scientific investigation, the necessity of successive determinate orders of social conditions, and to establish, as impartially as possible, the facts that serve him for fundamental starting-points. For this it is quite enough, if he proves, at the same time, both the necessity of the present order of things, and the necessity of another order into which the first must inevitably pass over; and this all the same, whether men believe or do not believe it, whether they are conscious or unconscious of it. Marx treats the social movement as a process of natural history, governed by laws not only independent of human will, consciousness and intelligence, but rather, on the contrary, determining that will, consciousness and intelligence. ... If in the history of civilisation the conscious element plays a part so subordinate, then it is self-evident that a critical inquiry whose subject-matter is civilisation, can, less than anything else, have for its basis any form of, or any result of, consciousness. That is to say, that not the idea, but the material phenomenon alone can serve as its starting-point. Such an inquiry will confine itself to the confrontation and the comparison of a fact, not with ideas, but with another fact. For this inquiry, the one thing of moment is, that both facts be investigated as accurately as possible, and that they actually form, each with respect to the other, different momenta of an evolution; but most important of all is the rigid analysis of the series of successions, of the sequences and concatenations in which the different stages of such an evolution present themselves. But it will be said, the general laws of economic life are one and the same, no matter whether they are applied to the present or the past. This Marx directly denies. According to him, such abstract laws do not exist. On the contrary, in his opinion every historical period has laws of its own. ... As soon as society has outlived a given period of development, and is passing over from one given stage to another, it begins to be subject also to other laws. In a word, economic life offers us a phenomenon analogous to the history of evolution in other branches of biology. The old economists misunderstood the nature of economic laws when they likened them to the laws of physics and chemistry. A more thorough analysis of phenomena shows that social organisms differ among themselves as fundamentally as plants or animals. Nay, one and the same phenomenon falls under quite different laws in consequence of the different structure of those organisms as a whole, of the variations of their individual organs, of the different conditions in which those organs function, &c. Marx, e.g., denies that the law of population is the same at all times and in all places. He asserts, on the contrary, that every stage of development has its own law of population. ... With the varying degree of development of productive power, social conditions and the laws governing them vary too. Whilst Marx sets himself the task of following and explaining from this point of view the economic system established by the sway of capital, he is only formulating, in a strictly scientific manner, the aim that every accurate investigation into economic life must have. The scientific value of such an inquiry lies in the disclosing of the special laws that regulate the origin, existence, development, death of a given social organism and its replacement by another and higher one. And it is this value that, in point of fact, Marx’s book has.
Whilst the writer pictures what he takes to be actually my method, in this striking and [as far as concerns my own application of it] generous way, what else is he picturing but the dialectic method?
Of course the method of presentation must differ in form from that of inquiry. The latter has to appropriate the material in detail, to analyse its different forms of development, to trace out their inner connexion. Only after this work is done, can the actual movement be adequately described. If this is done successfully, if the life of the subject-matter is ideally reflected as in a mirror, then it may appear as if we had before us a mere a priori construction. <
My dialectic method is not only different from the Hegelian, but is its direct opposite. To Hegel, the life process of the human brain, i.e., the process of thinking, which, under the name of “the Idea,” he even transforms into an independent subject, is the demiurgos of the real world, and the real world is only the external, phenomenal form of “the Idea.” With me, on the contrary, the ideal is nothing else than the material world reflected by the human mind, and translated into forms of thought. The mystifying side of Hegelian dialectic I criticised nearly thirty years ago, at a time when it was still the fashion. But just as I was working at the first volume of Das Kapital, it was the good pleasure of the peevish, arrogant, mediocre Ἐπίγονοι [Epigones — Büchner, Dühring and others] who now talk large in cultured Germany, to treat Hegel in same way as the brave Moses Mendelssohn in Lessing’s time treated Spinoza, i.e., as a “dead dog.” I therefore openly avowed myself the pupil of that mighty thinker, and even here and there, in the chapter on the theory of value, coquetted with the modes of expression peculiar to him. The mystification which dialectic suffers in Hegel’s hands, by no means prevents him from being the first to present its general form of working in a comprehensive and conscious manner. With him it is standing on its head. It must be turned right side up again, if you would discover the rational kernel within the mystical shell. In its mystified form, dialectic became the fashion in Germany, because it seemed to transfigure and to glorify the existing state of things. In its rational form it is a scandal and abomination to bourgeoisdom and its doctrinaire professors, because it includes in its comprehension and affirmative recognition of the existing state of things, at the same time also, the recognition of the negation of that state, of its inevitable breaking up; because it regards every historically developed social form as in fluid movement, and therefore takes into account its transient nature not less than its momentary existence; because it lets nothing impose upon it, and is in its essence critical and revolutionary. The contradictions inherent in the movement of capitalist society impress themselves upon the practical bourgeois most strikingly in the changes of the periodic cycle, through which modern industry runs, and whose crowning point is the universal crisis. That crisis is once again approaching, although as yet but in its preliminary stage; and by the universality of its theatre and the intensity of its action it will drum dialectics even into the heads of the mushroom-upstarts of the new, holy Prusso-German empire.
