Marxism 2

The above comment was addressed to Jagdish G Chandra on the need of "class for itself".  I will post a simple write up some time. For the time being: 1. Continuous Change is the law of nature. There is continuous evolutionary quantitative change that matures into qualitative revolutionary change. Most visible example of evolutionary quantitative changes are feminist assertion and scholarship and Dalit assertion and scholarship in the last 30 years. 2. Anything that exists is destined to perish like slavery and feudalism (whose reminiscences still remain) so will capitalism.  Every system develops the seeds of its own destruction - its own contradiction.  In revolutionary qualitative changes there are objective and subjective factors. Crisis of capitalism or the maturing of its contradictions is objective factor as was witnessed in 1929 onwards in the US and the Europe and the recent crisis from 2007 on are the examples of objective factors and absence of an organized working class that by definition is class in-it-self by virtue of dependence on sale of labor for survival. But it remains a lump of mass as it is not able to comprehend the contradiction, i.e. as long it does not acquire class consciousness and organize itself into "class-for-itself". this "--in-" and "-for-" connectives make all the difference, we seek to remove it.
