About the Way History went forward as this Appeared to Karamel Marx

(Karmalar Marx. Marx as I see him. Hope this gets the 'views'!!!)

For Marx one era simply followed another. There isn’t any particular outcome, it is just dialectic forces: one pressing on another. Karl Marx looked to no “Lost Horizon” Nirvana, no idealism, but rather a genuine world of human suffering. That is what he was facing

I believe this is a plausible portrayal of the Man. I am not making this conclusion lightly — it is being suggested that Karl Max was looking for actual the causes for history and yet in an extremely transparent and scientific sort of fashion, which was within the spirit of the times. It was, in fact, just like everyone else in the nineteenth century. And, also, I make no leap of faith considering Mrax’s interest or engagement in the suffering of the urban poor, the working class in particular. That this is no leap of faith is a valid statement, considering he did not much care for the rich sorts of persons of his own class and must have been observing the proletarians, whom, Marx would have noted were dropping dropping like flies. Overwork, sickness: you name it. So, he saw plenty of suffering; and yet, he wasn’t hoping for a miracle.

Marx was not much of a romantic. He thought he had science on his side.

So did many others people think so. It was characteristic of the more progressive people of the era. Would scince bring manking into some new age? Here is the Wikipedia timeline of electric lighting. Forget Edison; there was plenty going on in an earlier historical era. (Wikipedia ‘timeline of…’)

• 1809 Humphry Davy publicly demonstrates first electric lamp over 10,000 lumens, at the Royal Society.^[3]

• 1813 National Heat and Light Company formed by Frederick Albert Winsor.

• 1815 Humphry Davy invents the miner's safety lamp.

• 1823 Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner invents the Döbereiner's lamp.

• 1835 James Bowman Lindsay demonstrates a light bulb based electric lighting system to the citizens of Dundee.

So, anyways, Marx’s brain got on fire right about this time. He was in higher education by timeline’s end, and would soon get an odd idea. He had the idea that he knew how history would play out. So, he had the odd idea that he knew which way history was heading and that the new regimes in Europe since about Waterloo or whatever were ending and would then just pass along the political machinery of state to the rulers of the next historical stage. It is really very weird and convoluted. But anyways, Marx believed it.

So, who is in power in this new, post-capitalism historical era? Men from another planet? I think so, because I never done seen these “proletarians.” Marx was constantly seeing. It is almost indecipherable. It just shows you the difficulty of any real contact between two such distant historical eras. But did Marx specify this? Would the workers elect a president? No, that sounds just a bit too bourgeois, don’t it?

That would be whomever the next kind of world had to offer to us, the hapless human race. In the final analysis it seems kind of stupid, and yet this was Marx’s supreme accomplishment; it was he who turned history transparent. It was not seen as a show but rather a big accomplishment. Marx’s time was also the time of Barnum and Bailey. It seems to be a time when the doing of great tricks was thought to be feasible. Some saw the world of mid-century (the nineteenth) as full of amazement. It was a world where there were wondrous things that could happen.

Marx has a good idea (apparently) on how power would be exercised. So, to the question of who would hold power after the downfall of capitalist systems of production and distribution, it is the workers. Marx was disillusioned with his own class. On the other hand, he really expected the workers to deliver.

This idea that one system follows another has the advantage that the philosopher -or other sort of intellectual (the writer, practically speaking) -is now framed as standing in a place of objectivity. She is now above all periods of history entirely, and seeing through objective and scientific means. Marx, therefore, thought he was beyond any such relatively existing periods of mankind’s social arrangements and seeing the broad sweep.
