Document Summary
Materialism starts with the history of production, and means of exchange. Social changes and political revolutions have nothing to do with the independent thinking of man, but everything to do with production and exchange in that epoch. In order to enlarge and scatter this production, we have to change them from individual means, to social means. everyone needs this, let"s make a factory and everyone works in it . Therefore, the more the new mode of production gained power in all fields of production in all countries with economic powers, the more glaring necessarily became the incompatibility of social production with capitalist appropriation. The capitalists found that wage labour were an auxiliary occupation, transition and supplementary and exploited that into a mandatory activity. occasional wage workers became wage workers for life. Social relations are affected by production. earlier on, producers . There was no production for profit. everyone produced things to satisfy their own needs.
