Marx and Engels were great humanists. They studied world history in depth. Various sciences like philosophy, semantics, human values, human culture, civilization etc. were studied in depth. They studied the new ideas and inventions of their time, industrial revolution and capitalism from many angles. It was observed that the labor power of the workers is the source of wealth creation. It is concluded that wealth is created by human labor and in a capitalist society workers are the creators of surplus wealth. Marx and Engels were shocked to see the suffering of the workers and the way they were being exploited.
They wrote extensively with pen and voice on behalf of the workers. Speeches were made. They hoped that a great socialist society would emerge under the leadership of the workers. They strongly believed that under the leadership of the working class, a system of proletariat dictatorship should and would be established. Capitalists, landlords, slave owners, and exploiters were outlawed. They proved that the producers of wealth for thousands of years are the workers. They studied the history again. Nature popularized evolutionary history as ‘kinetic materialism’. As a way of re-examining the course of human history, the perspective became known as ‘kinetic historical materialism’. After Marx, Engels’s writings and the proposals they made, created a strong influence around the world. Labor groups have mobilized everywhere. Marx elaborated on Capitalism analyzed the exploitation of surplus wealth and surplus value in industrial capitalism from many angles and concluded that they are the creation of workers and should belong to them. He asked that all the workers should unite and build socialism all over the world. He declared moral support for many movements. The world was different before the propositions of Marx and Engels and after that, the world was different. Revolutions took place under the leadership of Lenin in Russia and Mao in China, applying the proposals of Marx and Engels to the conditions of their country. Many experiments were done to establish socialist systems. Revolutions took place in many countries with the theories of Marx and Engels. They lost in some places. They succeeded in many places. Thus, a socialist world was taking shape. The works of Marx and Engels worked as a basis for them. They have made many proposals in politics and movements from time to time. Lenin and Mao Granci also made many such proposals and tried to establish new governments. Gramsci’s ideas remained propositions. Many others advanced in the light of Marx, Engels and the Communist Manifesto. They wrote extensively. Marxism expanded its perspective in all sciences. It is necessary to know the basic works of such people. Many have heard the names of books like Socialism, Communism, Marx, Engels, Communist Manifesto, Capital. Very few have studied the basic texts of Marxism. So let me briefly introduce the basic texts of Marxism.
Basic Marxist Texts:
1. Communist Manifesto
2. German Ideology
3. Anti-During
4. Dialectics of Nature
5. The Family as Personal Property - The Birth of the Kingdom (This is a review of Morgan’s study of Native American tribes as an ancient society)
6. Ludwig Feuer Bau-German Philosophical Compendium
7. Lessons of the Paris Commune
8. Capital (alienation of capital labor-power surplus value)
9. Kinetic materialism, Kinetic historical materialism (based on Morgan’s ‘archaic society’ research...primitive commune system then slave system then feudalism then capitalist industrial system then the socialist system was proposed and then the communist system\
10. Darwin’s attempt to apply his formulations of nature and evolution to social systems.
11. Marx and Engels wrote that the first socialist revolutions and working-class revolutions will come in Germany, England and France where the industrial revolution was successful.
12. Socialism will come all over the world at once, in chronological order Socialism was proposed to trans-form into Communism.
13. They said that the dictatorship of the proletariat under the leadership of the proletariat is necessary. Inevitable said.
14. Lenin theorized that the working class is not only the workers but that anyone with working class consciousness can become a working class and lead the working class. Working class party formulated that labor revolution is not possible without it. It was said that anyone can act as a working class with the consciousness of the working class and can lead the working class itself. Thus, the middle-class intellectuals propagated their national revolutions in the respective countries as Marxist working class revolutions. They tried to head towards it. Marx Engels Lenin Mao can be cited for this.
These are basically the basic works of Marx and Engels. The essence of all these is called Marxism.
In philosophy, Marx and Engels studied Plato, Aristotle, Kant, Hegel, Peure, Darwin, Morgan and other historical evolutionary philosophies well. The London Library was explored by them. Thereafter only B.R. Ambedkar alone explored the London library after many thousands of books were added to the library. Marx’s philosophy and logic are mixed. It was inherited from their teacher, Hegel. It is necessary to analyze the logic in the philosophy and the philosophy in the logic. Many fell under the spell of Marx and Engels’ new researches and failed to notice the mistakes made.
Marxism ideologically triumphed all over the world:
Marxism was ideologically successful all over the world. A victory in a war does not mean that there are no flaws. Analyzing even the mistakes made after a war victory is useful in many ways.
The positivists of Marxism have thoroughly justified and analysed. Contrary to that, Marxism bowed its neck to the opposing elements and was distorted. They refused to see the truth. Those who think differently from Marxism pointed out the flaws and opposed the philosophy and logic of Marxism but could not accept its strengths and new elements. Indeed, the practice of Marxism faced many failures. There are still many failures. In Russia and China, the system known as socialism was replaced by capitalist and democratic systems. A mixed economy was established. So, the socialist system experiments proposed by Marxism turned into a mixed economy after decades. Soviet countries were formed as Soviet Union in 1918 and split into 13 countries in 1985 and became democracies. It is a consequence of political movements. These have their roots in Marxist philosophy and political economics. By looking at them, it is made clear that many efforts were made to build a humane society.
A fundamental error has occurred.
A fallacy took place while borrowing fundamental philosophical propositions from Marx and Hegel. Marx and Engels could not recognize its importance in the conditions of society that was boiling like a volcano of that time. Even Lenin, Stalin, Mao and others could not observe the same tendency. As a result, Marxism as a practical science, political and social movement, and the one-sided tendencies in the formulation of programs have continued.
Sublation of negation by Hegel:
Hegel emphasizes the word ‘negation’ very well. He also emphasized sublation just as strongly. Negation means the old goes away and the new comes in, Sublation means the old continues and the new comes into being.
Morgan’s findings.
Morgan wrote a book of hundreds of pages called Ancient Society and did the most extensive research ever done by anyone in the world. It is about human evolution. Based on Morgan’s findings, Engels wrote about analysis of the family system and the birth of the kingdoms.
Morgan, Darwin, Engels Formulations:
Darwin studied the evolution of nature and wrote the science of evolution. Both are excellent findings. Hegel’s negation appears as an element of Darwin’s research. Morgan wrote a large review of Engels’ Family System, State, and Birth, adopting elements and formulations of ancient society. It is in circulation as a book. ‘The evolution of the family, from the primitive society, from the tribal society, and the way developments took place in the family system due to the means of production and the forces of production’ he explained clearly. Darwin’s principle of survival of the fittest became very popular. Circumstances that change themselves only survive. Whatever does not change, perishes in nature. Darwin thus formulated that dinosaurs and the like became extinct.
In this way, Marx and Engels drew the points of Morgan and Darwin and some principles of Hegel’s philosophy and synthesized them.
Negation Sublation:
Another aspect of Hegel’s saying that there is old and there is new is forgotten to be adopted in this coordination. This error continued to exist in the in Marxist philosophy, in logic, in kinetic materialism, historical materialism, most influential capital text of the Communist manifesto, the new proposals of World Socialism and Communism. The same error is directly encountered in political programs. This error still haunts the proponents and detractors of Marxism around the world.
Many sciences that came before Marx were accepted, rejected and critically accepted as far as they could see. If the philosophers who came after had done all the research and analysis done by Marx and made their new proposals, Marxism, philosophy, political sciences, capital family, state, birth, historical materialism, kinetic materialism etc. would have been wonderfully enriched. This work is not done. For politics, the Marxist philosophy of capital was advanced in those countries as the lessons of the French Revolution. They came to power in countries like Russia and China. After they came to power, they propagated them even more.
Survival of the Fittest – Darwin’s Principle:
Chameleon is thought to be a remnant of dinosaurs. As the dinosaurs perished, the rest continued to transform themselves. Animals, birds, plants and insects have been gradually changing themselves following the changes in nature. Humans have also been changing and changing their body structure and brain to suit the conditions. It became a special science and was named as anthropology. Thus, one science has expanded into many sciences.
One thought into many sciences...:
One logic, one philosophy flows into many sciences. This way, Hegel’s philosophy and logic flowed in the written chapters of Marx. Marx only took negation from Hegel. Sublation was not taken. Thus, in all works of morphism in capitals, sublation is lacking in analysis. They could not say that while the old remains dormant, the new continues. The proposals of World Socialism and World Communism were built on that flaw.
Lenin’s New Chapters:
After the failure of the 1905 revolution, Lenin studied philosophies extensively in secret life. Many new proposals and understandings came to his mind. They are not discussed as complete sciences. He wrote down the things he observed in the same books. They were published in the Soviet Union as Lenin’s Philosophical Notebooks in Volume 35. In it, Hegel wrote that without understanding logic and philosophy, no one in the capitalist world would understand it after 50 years. And elsewhere it is written that relationship is more fundamental than conflict. As long as there is a relation, the contradiction between the two is the unity of opposites, evolutionary change, qualitative change, negation, sublation, negation of negation, sublation of negation. But even today there are Marxists and anti-Marxists in the world. Both camps argue that the contradiction is the main one. Without relation, there can be no contradiction. I have written about this in more detail in 1991 in the book “Nenu Kyi Gatitarka Tatva-darsabhumika”.
Precedence of Sublation:
Sublation can be said to mean evolution. The science of evolution refers to evolution where the old remains and the new grows. Negation like a revolution. It can be said that as the old is gone and the new is coming. Both evolution and revolution are interdependent. Evolution can lead to qualitative change. As evolution unfolds, the minority becomes the majority. The plant becomes a great tree. Babies evolve into humans and adults. The river, which started as a small channel, has expanded into a living being by joining many streams and tributaries. The sublation left by Marx and Engels in philosophy and logic will not cease to exist in the world! The world does not disappear if we close our eyes and do not recognize it. Survival of the fittest continues throughout the world following Darwin’s theory of survival of the fittest. Capitalism thus transforms itself and continues to sublation.
Sublation, Evolution of varna system, caste system as sublation:
Evolution of caste system and varna system as sublation. Varna system, caste system and Brahmanism which were born like that, continue to change and mold themselves and continue like the liquid that takes the shape of the vessel in which it is poured. Capitalism itself continues to morph itself fluidly into many new roles. And so it continues and finally in socialism, in Russia and China, the capitalist system is returning to the state capitalist system and gradually to the mixed capitalist system.
While being old, the emergence of several generations:
While the tree is still there, we see the seeds germinate and many generations of new trees are born. Humans also continue as sublations up to five generations. Apart from that, negation does not end when people meet new people. Further, it can be observed that the care for the loved ones is seen in the cattle, birds, animals and humans. Abandoning these laws of nature, historical materialism and kinetic materialism advanced. The main reason for this is that Hegel took negation, negation of negation from logic and left out sublation. So that one-eye vision replaces two-eye vision. Left view. The leftist vision continues.
Flaws forgotten in the triumph of Marxism:
In this way, Marxism in its various forms advanced with advanced thinking, ignoring many of the sciences of that time. Victorious, it changed the world. Human society forgets to correct errors in pride of victory. A capitalist society like America is reasserting itself because of the blind opposition and implicit following of some. Lenin idealized the American way of working, saying that the Bolshevik spirit was the American way of working. But the continuation of the errors of Marxism in the Bolshevik spirit left the American style of work as the Soviet Union evolved into a capitalist democracy.
Taking the fundamental texts and formulations of Marxism as a guide, which were built with a one-sided view of philosophy and logic, Lenin wrote some propositions and texts that are necessary for Marxism while discussing his experiences, local conditions and changing developments while working in Russia for the socialist revolution.
1. By writing the book ‘Capitalism at the highest stage of imperialism’, the capitalist system expanded to the countries of the world as imperialism by the exploitation people of other areas by the non-industrial people and increasing the facilities for the workers and corrupting them.
By going against emperor Tsar that the revolutions should be successful at the weakest link of capitalist society and feeling that the socialist revolution is possible only in a weak capitalist society, and it is not possible to have socialist revolutions all over the world at the same time. He wrote that it is possible to have socialist society, socialist government and socialist system in each country. Thus, the Russian Revolution was successful and Soviet Union became the Soviet Union in 1918 and provided an inspiration and guidance to other countries.
Those who accept these ideas of Lenin are called Marxists and Leninists. Lenin’s basic texts are also required to be read. They are
1. The 14th volume of Lenin’s anthologies ‘Emperio Criticism and Materialism’
2. ‘Lenin’s Philosophical Notebooks’, 38th supplementary volume
3. The above mentioned ‘imperialism is the highest stage of capitalism. A revolution will succeed in weak capitalist countries rather than in developed capitalist countries.
4. Kingdom - Revolution. Whenever fighting against the kingdom. Instead of weakening, the kingdom is getting stronger. Some proposals have been made in this that after the revolution is successful, the existing government systems, employees, teachers, workers and farmers will be trained according to the socialist goals and will be suitably adapted towards the public interest.
5. The Duma (Parliament runs with numbers after winning the election, important among Lenin’s formulations after running for the Duma and winning.
6. There is no working-class revolution without a working-class party, and we must form our own armed forces. Another basic formulation was made that a working-class party is not necessarily a party built with workers, anyone who works with working class consciousness is a working-class person and becomes a working-class party.
Due to this Leninist formulation middle class writers, artists, intellectuals, petty bourgeoisie, and those who came from the rich peasantry like Puchchalapalli Sundarayya, Ravi Narayana Reddy, Bhimreddy Narsimha Reddy, Charmajumdar and finally Marx, Engels, Lenin, Mao would be accepted as working-class, working-class party leaders, working class perspective Marxists, working class benefactors.
Therefore, if Leninism is not accepted, no one but the workers can think of themselves as the leadership and representatives of working-class Marxism, the working-class party, or have the right to speak and work.
Therefore, many people who speak, write, work and agitate in working class parties around the world are not from the working class, but from the middle-class intellectuals, from other groups, especially from the petty bourgeoisie and rich peasant groups.
1. Mao said that after the revolution of the Soviet Union, a socialist revolution can be made in China as well. In China, which is an agrarian society, the bourgeoisie should bring about an industrial revolution involving the workers, the working-class party, the petty bourgeoisie, the middle class and other sections, up to the national bourgeoisie, together with the peasantry. Because it comes under the leadership of the working class, it is New Democracy. It is proposed that the revolution is a people’s democratic revolution.
As the government continues under the leadership of the working class, the bourgeois industrial revolution or the mass democratic revolution can be peacefully transformed into a socialist revolution without the need for another revolution.
2. In their country, which is a rural and agricultural society, they formulated the need for a ‘new democratic revolution’ that includes everyone, where everyone including the national bourgeoisie has the opportunity to grow, to work to speed up the industrial revolution by mobilizing the rural system. Those who accept this are called Maoists, Naxalites and Maoists.
These are Mao’s basic works and propositions. 1. Practice, 2. Contradictions Essays. However, in the 1970s comparative criticism emerged from the Soviet Union that these two chapters of textbooks in the Soviet Union were written giving examples of the Chinese movement. The formation of the armed forces, the slogans and formations of establishing state power through the barrel of a gun are Mao’s basic ideas. Another fundamental formulation was that it was necessary and possible to make a working class out of the peasantry.
In the name of Marxism, some formulations have been made in addition to the specific conditions of the time and place by incorporating the movements and their experiences in the respective countries. Some accepted them. Some disagreed. Some stop at Marx, some stop at Lenin, some stop at Mao. Their contemporaries and colleagues in those periods formulated many aspects different from their formulations. But they are not in power. Those in power have translated them into world languages on behalf of the respective governments.
For example, we have not received the texts and lessons written by the Blanquists who revolutionized the Paris Commune. But Marx and Engels, who criticized the revolution as unwanted, an action of haste and not needed, after the success of the Paris proletariat revolution and the overthrow of the Paris Commune for two months by a military conspiracy, owned it more than those who made that revolution, and said “if we don’t have our own army, the army of bourgeois governments will come to power and overthrow the commune”, a new formulation was developed that the working class party should have its own army.
It has been an important formulation in practice throughout the world since the Russian Revolution. Thus, the aim was to build an armed force to counter the military conspiracy with an armed Red Army. Thus, under the leadership of the working-class party, the most important thing which has come forward is to create its own armed forces from the people to achieve state power. Those who come forward are engaged in armed struggle. Mao formulated this supremely as ‘power through the barrel of a gun’ and turned it into a slogan.
It is the basic formulation and structure followed by working class parties and movements. However, there are millions of intellectuals, artists, writers, scientists, philosophers and textbook producers all over the world who are using the Marxist perspective, methodology and approach in their respective fields, sciences and analyses, regardless of working-class parties and movements. They basically adopted some of the above-mentioned Marxism, Leninism and Maoism. Apart from them, what others have said can also be adopted. For example, Bukharin’s understanding was different from Stalin’s understanding. Maybe in 1929 when Lenin died... Stalin sentenced him to death. Sometime after 1985, the membership of Soviet Bolshevik was restored and he was honored. Similarly, he disagreed with Trotsky Lenin also.
Trotsky also briefly served as a minister in Lenin’s government. He said that in order for this Soviet revolution to spread all over the world as Marx said, a permanent revolution is necessary. Lenin did not agree and called it a continuous revolution. Thus, there were few differences with some words and feelings. Trotsky was also executed under Stalin’s leadership. Feminists within Marxists still embrace people like Rosa Luxemburg and Alexandria Kolantay who compare Bukharin, Trotsky and Lenin. And yet there are many types of Marxists.
All the experiences and practices are created from the study, experiences and practices of the respective countries, leaders and philosophers. This is indirect knowledge. And for anyone, this is indirect knowledge only. One has to achieve direct knowledge. Experiences are gained and lessons are learned through direct practice. From them direct knowledge grows newly and additionally. By examining the indirect knowledge through one’s experience, one analyzes the past and combines the present knowledge as direct knowledge.
Grancy recorded his experiences in Italy in his Prison Diary. Grancy and Dr. B.R. Ambedkar’s ideas can be said to be democratic socialism or achieving socialism through democracy. The similarity between them is that they work for social justice and social change by bringing together many social groups.
Middle-class in the name of working-class
Lenin’s formulation that everyone who works with proletarian consciousness are proletariat, laid the foundation for many distortions. According to the way a man is born, brought up and lived, it becomes clear which category he belonged in the relationship between categories. But because of Lenin’s formulation, those who followed the trends of working class ideology, consciousness, talking, working or seeming to work for the self-interest of the middle class, intellectuals, educated petty bourgeoisie, bourgeoisie, rich peasants, and high positions in power, dominance and social honor, for the purpose of enjoying various privileges, all those who continue to speak and write theories and speak in the name of the working class happened to be called and categorized as the Working Class and not due to one’s birth, the way one is brought up and the way of living.
The words, songs, speeches and writings of such educated people made the working class look weak and worthless, who have no assets except their wings and labor power. In the name of the working class, the petty bourgeoisie, the bourgeoisie, the rich peasants, the middle class are supported by all the ranks and groups that have grown up and are growing up through the state, through domination, through modern development. All of them together praise themselves as they are better poets, artists, writers, leaders, organizations, parties and movements with greater working-class consciousness than the working class itself. Everyone, including the media, cooperates with them. Criticizing those who come from the real working class as backward and not yet having the consciousness of the working-class consciousness due to compartmental thinking and did not come out of empiricism and continue to boast about their practicing world socialism, communism and Marxism at a universal level. They write too. They also take such forms of struggle. They talk about international robbery gangs very seriously.
They develop movements against governments and multinational private entrepreneurs in countries like America and Europe. They step back when they have to move against the Local, direct exploiters and against all the hegemony of the dominants. But are ahead in the campaigning. The local direct exploiters live by doing jobs and doing chores for the owners. They dominate in the fields of theoretical field, ideology, education, literature, art, culture, social, democracy and civil rights. They manage them. It looks like the fiction writing of Kodavatiganti Kutumbarao called Violence and Ahimsa. One who is fat emphasizes the need for non- violence and the one who is thin emphasizes the necessity of violence. While both argue with each other, the fat one who says non-violence is important strangles the thin one who says emphasizes violence. In India, those who are in the position of privilege in the social honors of the petty bourgeoisie, those who are living by taking part in modern development, rich farmers, writers, artists, intellectuals and leaders, suppress the voice and leadership of the real working class and come forward as the real working-class consciousness.
For decades, educated people, intellectuals, petty bourgeois, rich farmers and the middle class have paraded as the working class in India. According to Lenin’s principle, anyone who works with working class consciousness is a working-class person. This way, those who came from non-working class do not let the working class rise and leading as working class and opposing those who are rising from the real working class. On the other hand, in philosophy, it is said that there is no class for others except class in itself and class for itself. When class for itself comes from a class, it is limited to the interests of that class. It means to live. Neither the middle class, nor the educated, nor the intellectuals, nor the efforts made for the working class is ‘class for itself’. Class for Others means altruism. Class for Others is to serve those who are not of one’s class, caste, and region with humanitarian values. This word of altruism has been going on since before Buddha. But, in Marxist philosophical debates, the term “class for others” has been ruthlessly condemned and opposed. In fact, Marx, Engels, Lenin, Mao etc. did not come from the working class. With a humanitarian perspective, they worked for the interests of the working class from being in the capitalist class, the intellectual class, the middle class. Class for others, altruism, if not accepted, would be to say that human society is frozen. Change was not possible due to the frozen categories, caste and color system. As they evolve and expand towards philanthropy and humanitarian values, the movement of classes moves towards the evolution of classes.
Marx, Engels, Lenin and Mao who came from the educated class sometimes behaved in this way towards the leadership from the working class and pushed them back by calling them as empiricism, sectarianism, trade unionism, militant economic-ism and various names to suit the occasion. They hit back at the other’s argument with their argument only.
While Pravudhan wrote ‘philosophy of poverty’, they counter attacked as ‘poverty of philosophy’. Other socialists were criticized as utopia socialists. They described theirs as Scientific Socialism. In fact, this scientific socialism is logical socialism achieved logically, not scientific socialism but logical socialism. Anything can be proved by reaching a logical conclusion. It is enough to know the logic. By logic presupposed, void is created, and in that void, proposition is established as a synthesis. By the time of Acharya Nagarjuna this science of logic was highly developed. This logic has been studied as a science since the fifth century BC at Taxila University. He said that the workers and leaders who came from the working class were stuck in empiricism and in the truth of the militant trade union of the working class. Ultimately, he concluded that political consciousness is the decisive factor. On this occasion it is necessary o discuss it from another angle.
When it is said that it is possible for someone with political consciousness to become working class consciousness, to work, to lead movements, to work in the fields of ideology, theory, literature and art, then it is absurd to say that there is only a class in itself, a class for itself. The saying that anyone can become working class with working class consciousness confirms that any class can change into another class with its own consciousness.
So, what should we call it when it is possible to change from one category to another? That is generally called altruism. If it is theorized, it will be a class for others. Buddha and many others said to serve, sacrifice and love one’s fellows with altruism, love and compassion. Buddha also gave this advice to kings. That is, the king should rule in favor of the people, evolving from the nature of his ruling class. This is possible only when it becomes a class for others.
Emperor Ashoka thus worked hard to spread Buddhism throughout the world. The same applies to any Marxists who say that he did this for his administration. Marxism, like Ashoka, was born for the global expansion of the ideas and leadership of the industrialized countries of Europe in the name of working-class consciousness of their ideology. Also expanded. Therefore, it is nothing but European hegemony. Because the countries of Europe looted and oppressed the countries of Asia, Africa, Australia, Red Indian and America and moved the natural resources and human resources and achieved industrial development. Marx, Engels and Marxism could not say that the looted wealth should be sent back to the respective countries, and the respective countries should mobilize for that.
Since the societies that have fallen behind industrial development due to this European exploitation, they could not say that they want to grow on their own and the backward people, societies, production forces of those countries should fight against the developed European countries, achieve their own local domestic industrial development, science and technology, and make new discoveries following their historical heritage of science and technology. On the contrary, they proposed that the capitalist class should grow and capitalist industrial development should expand and spread throughout the world, so that the working class like the working class in Europe and the capitalist like capitalist class will grow. Like Emperor Ashoka propagated Buddhism for philanthropy, Marxism propagated its Europe-centrism of capitalism, industrial revolution to create the relations of production and the emerging classes in other countries as well. Proposed too. Strategy, moves, programs, slogans all brought this forward. The implication of the slogan “Workers of the world is united” is that capitalist industrial development throughout the world, capitalists, and the working class should develop in the same way. Dr|| Rammanohar Lohia discussed this matter at length and emphasized that production methods and production relations should be based on human resources and natural resources in Asian countries and there is no need for machines, science and technology that can make human resources jobless through mechanization. Therefore, he proposed that Buddhism is class for self, class for others benevolence, love, compassion, wisdom, Buddha is sheltered by Buddha, Dhamma is sheltered by God, Sangam is sheltered by community. For centuries the world has been driven forward by the guidelines of living with love and compassion while accepting and practicing society, dharma and wisdom. Ultimately, these ideals will continue in tomorrow’s society as well.
But the non-working class ranks and groups who pass themselves off as Marxists in the name of working-class consciousness denigrate others. They strongly argue that that they are the ones who move the society forward, that everyone should follow their leadership, and that the state power should be under their leadership. In the personal practice the arrogance of landlords, rich farmers and police would continue. Thus, the personal pride and supremacy is masked by working class consciousness. It is also theorized that it is a leadership trait and character. They criticize all the people who should be together and keep them away from being together in their organizations and movements and say that they are not coming together again.
They behave as if they mock with their foreheads and laugh with their mouths. What makes all this possible for them? This is made possible by the formulation that anyone can become working class with working class consciousness. Where were they born? Where did you grow up? What is their way of life? What is their culture? What is their relative class? What is their place in the forces of production, means of production, relations of production, distribution of production, hegemony? Are they in a dominant position? Are they among the producers? Are they descended from those who continued to be parasitic classes in feudal relations of production? Are they the ones who came as teachers for alienation? Are they descended from the petty bourgeoisie who have been enjoying the relations of production and production without participating in the capitalist society? Are they descended from the petty bourgeoisie who are being alienated and exploited by participating in production?
They can be called as Small-scale farmers, peasant laborers, small-scale artisans, cottage industries and small-scale modern industrial producers are the petty bourgeoisie who participate in production and are alienated and exploited. What are their allies in the ruling classes and the exploited classes in the social sphere? What are natural ally groups that cooperate even if they don’t want to? What are the additional benefits and leadership positions they are getting? By leaving them unexamined, they circulate themselves as working-class, working-class writers, artists, intellectuals, philosophers and leaders.
By cooperating outside of the class they came from, the petty bourgeois who are not related to the supply, who are enjoying dominance over production, production and services, are able to grow as leaders, artists, intellectuals and civil rights activists by cooperating from outside the class they came from. Those from the genuine working class, alienated and exploited communities are pushed back by lack of such opportunities. I have specifically analyzed how this happens and what the order is in the stories of Politics, Mother’s breast milk, Dakshayagna, Jeevanyanam, etc.
In this way, the educated, the middle class, the intellectuals and even the petty bourgeoisie are not a class. These are different categories from non-productive sectors. This is a category. Another category comes from the middle class, the petty bourgeoisie, who are involved in production, alienated and exploited. These two are not the same. Those who come from the productive sectors are working class consciousness. Direct knowledge and direct practice belong to them.
Non-productive class have indirect knowledge. If those from the non-productive classes dominate those from the forces of production, it is the domination of other classes over the working class. Other classes, dominant castes, dominant castes and dominant classes continue to exercise power in the name of the working class. This can be observed from Marx and Engels themselves since the birth of Marxism throughout the world. This is what intellectuals say is Marxism. They have split into hundreds of parties arguing and practicing that the revolution they say is the truth and the programs they say are true. The call to unite workers of the world has finally been reduced to ‘walk with us’. Different groups were created.
Thus, the working classes from the forces of production, the workers who work with the means of production, are different from the educated and the petty bourgeoisie from the non- productive sectors. One comes from the classes alienated from the ruling classes, from the dominant classes, from the dominant castes, while the other comes from the working classes, the forces of production, the sparks that work directly with the means of production, the alienated from the ruled. Thus, these two types of conflicts, class conflict and caste conflict between the middle class, the intellectuals, the educated, and the petty bourgeoisie continue continuously. It is said that there will be a friendly conflict between these two middle class petty bourgeois groups and it should be resolved as a friendly conflict. But in reality, in practice one can see the continuing order of hegemons who come from the upper castes, the rich peasantry, the capitalists, and those who come from the rest of the proletariat, the working class.
Thus, educated people from non-productive, dominant sectors continue to be left-wing and dominant. If they are not dominant, they will exit. They continue to be limited to their interests.
It is very difficult to bear them in the respective movements and parties. It is like living in the same family and enduring domestic violence, these relationships continue as the wife is constantly abused by the husband. It is accepted that the dominance of the Educated petty bourgeois from the upper castes, is as natural as the patriarchal dominance and is culturally accepted.
Due the gap between the castes, it is natural for those who come from the upper caste to dominate more easily. The educated and middle class have not discussed this polemic for decades and they talk as if the petty bourgeoisie are all one class. That is very wrong. Those who come from wealthy backgrounds may have more knowledge. Due to the support of their social groups and castes around them, they may become leaders in many fields. All this serves to push the labor class, their leadership and the leadership of the working classes. It can be observed at every stage in India for hundreds of years. Generally, such people take advantage of the castes, communities, relatives, their positions, their positions in the society, through their relations with them. It gives them unique opportunities. From this arose the argument of organic intellectuals. They are called womb geniuses. Subaltern Theories, Subaltern Studies, Kanche Ilayya, K. S. Chalam, Kathi Padmarao and others like me put forward the importance of Garbhastha Medha. We also refer to this as Bhumi Putrulu, Son of the Soil. In the last few decades, 75 percent of the industrialists and wealthy people in America have grown from the first generation of intellectuals. The character of the first generation of Garbhastha Madhevas and their skills can be seen with this example. Even in India when first generation intellectuals are given these opportunities, 75 percent of the first generation will grow up from intellectuals, educated, laborers, BC, SC, ST, castes.
