he used nutenai productive forces instead of Geist. Material productive
torces go through various stages. The present stage is very bad, but there is
one thing in its favor— ,t is the necessary preliminary stage for the
appearance of the perfect state of socialism. And socialism is just around

Hegel was caUed the philosopher of Prussian absolutism. He died in
1831 His . K-hool thought in terms of left and right wings. (The left didn't
hice the Prussian government and the Prussian Union Church.) This
distinction between the left and the right has existed since then. In the
French Parliament, those who didn't like the king's government were

Originally, i.e.. before Karl Marx, the term "right" meant the
supporters of representative government and civil liberties, as opposed to
the "left" who favored royal absolutism and the absence of civil rights. The
appearance of socialist ideas changed the meaning of these terms. Some of
the "left" have been outspoken in expressing their views. For instance, Plato
(^27-347 BC) was frank in stating that a philosopher shall rule. And
Auguste C!omte [1798-1857] said that freedom was necessary in the past
because it made it possible for him to puWish his books, but now that these
books have been published there is no longer any need for freedom. And
in the same way Etienne Cabet [1788-1856] spoke of three classes of
books— the bad books, which should be burned; the intermediate books,
which should be amended; and the remaining "good" books. Therefore,
there was great confusion as to the civil liberties to be assigned to the
