Threefold Dimensions of Marx's Theory of World History
Material production,property ownership,and individual communication are important ful-crums of historical materialism theory,and have become clues for Marx to analyze the changes in world history and social forms,as well as the transformation of human circumstances.First-ly,on the grounds that social mass production is bound to replace natural small-scale produc-tion a general perspective on the evolution of human society has been achieved,in addition to a partial diagnosis of the mechanism of the establishment and perishment of capitalist society;Secondly,on the premise that social ownership will eventually overcome private ownership of property,and with an empirical analysis of the inner dynamics of how capitalist civilization breaks through territorial limitations and achieves global significance,it completes the logical i-magination of how a higher civilization is possible;And thirdly,on the basis that the social in-teraction of"human beings"should dominate the social exchange of"things",the future antic-ipation of the imminent emergence of the association of free people is realized in the context of a retrospective look at the inherent contradictions and the potential for renewal of the human condition in the capitalist system.According to the dialectical progression of world history,Ma-rx identified that capitalism is nothing but a transitional link in world history and communism is the true beginning.
