Publication at Faculty of Humanities |

Abstract

"Preventing war." This essay is a follow-up to the author's study published in the previous issue of Ergot. The author's focus is centred here as well at developing his concept of the dialectical overcoming of capitalism, stemming from Marx's anthropology of species being which realizes itself in the process of labour, and from a dialectical materialistic understanding of history and societies.

Here the author reacts to a two-part article titled Why And How Capitalism Needs To Be Reformed written by Ray Dalio, the founder of the world's most successful hedge fund and one of Forbes' Top 100 Wealthiest People, who openly speaks against capitalism and warns that the economic system has two years to reform itself completely, otherwise it will have to face an armed conflict of unprecedented proportions. The essay presented here offers an analysis of contemporary progressive avant-garde management methods of conducting organizations reforms and reforms in the labour process, and interprets them as expressions of the capitalist's effort to avert conflict that could potentially endanger his social position, access to monopolies and raw materials, his legal safety, etc.

Through these changes - which capitalism imposes upon itself out of market necessity; the necessity to adapt, in order to, in this case, avoid war - we can trace the hints of capitalism's self-overcoming even today.
