Abstract
‘Capitalist production’, Marx (1977: 929) declared, ‘begets with the inexorability of a natural process, its own negation’. Unfortunately (in view of the amount of suffering that capitalism produces), this is not true.
Feuerbach’s great achievement is: … (3) His opposing to the negation of the negation, which claims to be the absolute positive, the self-supporting positive, positively based on itself.
(Marx, 1844c: 328)
