More Problems with Marxist Dialectics

Dialectic is two part; dialectical unity is something of an oxymoron. There never was a requirement of a single reply to a thesis. There may be numerous counter-thesis emergent whenever an idea makes it to the social realm.

 Marxism in borrowing Hegel's paradigm of the world spirit realizing itself tried to formalize his own application with something of a pseudo-scientific-rigorous method for credibility's sake I suppose. It was inefficient then and was rather terminally, permanently flawed.

Marx's fancy way of saying that some political states and circumstances have opposition had no implicit points in support of an ideal political state (such as Hegel believed in Germany of his day to be (in error) when U.S. democracy was actually the highest then extent political evolution). Dead reckoning and pure intelligence have no necessary association with ways to inductively configure some political formula.

Checks and balances are something of a joke in an era where plutocracy has bi-partisan support and the .1% own or control about everything in economics. Ordinary people have no idea nor capability of realizing the way things are such that they would chose good and appropriate policy for the day. That in my opinion would be ecological economics.


Consider just the issue of illegal immigration to the U.S.A. Millions of illegal workers take labor jobs away from Americans and gut wage negotiations. Being largely from a dry 2nd world nation they have few if any ecospheric economic education nor tendencies. However leftist Democrats support them as do the rich for different reasons. In the case of Democrats they fail to factor the extra environmental costs of consumption of non-renewable resources by illegal aliens nor the effect on the body politic in failing to add up the ecological economic calculus of each individual. The illegal aliens are less well educated than Americans on ecological economics who are in turn themselves rather dull to the point of insensibility as they support cars, highways, sprawl and so forth.
