THE PRINCIPLE OF HOPE

have become classless, with a collective which springs from them. Only freedom the will has a content, order the logos has no content of its own; in other words: the
realm of freedom does not contain another realm, but it contains the freedom or that Being­for­itself towards which things are solely organized and ordered. Marx
equally connected and overcame the free­confederative element in More and his successors, and the ordered­centralist element in Campanella and his successors.
Order is here the Novum: democratic centralism, it is common organization of the processes of production, a common unified plan of human information and cultivation.
Just as the detached political state dies away, so culture now loses its detached reification and hovering abstractness; it acquires a concrete framework, a concretely
cohesive relief. Culture loses the arbitrary and aimless element, it gains the sharply orientating background of a What For; a new order of salvation, namely for human
material, approaches. Solely through this order does freedom attain its content, a defined, or at least more and more precisely articulated one. But what possibly
emerges in the figure of order is and remains precisely nothing other than defined freedom; order is in contrast solely the space, which is nevertheless indispensable, for
the defined freedom­content. Only the path via ‘Campanella’ (conceived as a pathos of order) thus leads to a democracy of ‘More’ (conceived as a pathos of
freedom), in which no liberalist juste milieu is possible, in whatever form, but a realm of individuals could begin who have left behind them the freedom of isolated
robbery and mild unorderedness and know well the best legacy of federation and centralization: profusion in unity. This is the same as solidarity, the richly animated
harmony of individual and social forces. Freedom and order, harsh contrasts in the abstract utopias, thus merge into one another in materialist dialectics, and assist each
other. Concrete being free is order, that of its own field, concrete being ordered is freedom, that of its sole content.
Continuation: social utopias and classic Natural Right
Dreams did not always have to be of things far off in order to see light. Particularly not when a demand was made for something better, instead of it merely being
pictured. Something closer, seemingly remembered, certainly evident always then appeared, namely the so­called right, born with us. Which is or ought to be
unchangeable and as natural right superior to all arbitrary statutes. It justifies, and even encourages where necessary,
