fiS MARXISM AND DARWINISM. 



Let US now look at the future system of produc- 

 tion as carried on under Socialism. The struggle lead- 

 ing to the perfection of the tools does not cease. As 

 before under capitalism, the inferior machine will be 

 outdistanced and brushed aside by the one that is 

 superior. As before, this process will lead to greater 

 productivity of labor. But private property having 

 been abolished, there will no longer be a man behind 

 each machine calling it his own and sharing its fate. 

 Machines will be common property, and the displace- 

 ment of the less developed by the better developed 

 machinery will be carried out upon careful consider- 

 ation. 



With the abolition of classes the entire civilized 

 world will become one great productive community. 

 Within this community mutual struggle among mem- 

 bers will cease and will be carried on with the outside 

 ■world. It will no longer be a struggle against our own 

 kind, but a struggle for subsistence, a struggle against 

 nature. But owing to development of technique and 

 science, this can hardly be called a struggle. Nature 

 is subject to man and with very little exertion from 

 his side she supplies him with abundance. Here a new 

 career opens for man : man's rising from the animal 

 world and carrying on his struggle for existence by 

 the use of tools, ceases, and a new chapter of human 

 history begins.
