The Drama of Historical Materialism

Text in Hungarian to translate into English

Bernard Shaw is not a Marxist. Jevons’s theory of value fixes the doctrine of the edge version in a system, neglecting his utilitarian questioning, while Marx’s work-abstraction means nothing to him. Class theory theories do not understand. He is a socialist, but elutitized by the continent, the more he agrees with him in criticism. He does not deny tcha the pro-problem, but without recognizing the material substrate of actual development, he is a utopian necessity and he is also one of the darkest, individual-fantasists. This is how his theory, the doctrine of the redeeming Superman (Übermensch), was created, who, however, was not born of a new moral society (which Nietzsche longed for), but of a conscious and purposeful organization of the whole. The Übermensch created by ethical selection replaces Superman’s physiologically determined production as a program.
