A word and its meaning- contd (2)

[Guest guest]

[....contd]<br><br>After some time, this emotion

attains a life of its own. It conquers other aspects of

human existence, other than primary production, such as

house, clothes and even sex.<br>Because a constant

acculumulation of private property as means of production is

essential for production activity, it creates greed and

covetousness.<br><br>This essential contradiction between the possessions

of one man and another creates conflict.<br>This

conflict then takes of form [or manifests itself] as

conflicts in the realms of thought, such as religious

conflict, class conflict, race conflict, sex conflict,

exploitation, etc.<br>Also arises a set of classes whose

interest is to maintain this conflict and even fuel

it-because the preservation of their private property

depends on this conflict.<br>Thus we see that certain

institutions are *required* for the preservation of

conflict.<br>Religion is one such institution. Individualism and

idealism is another. Class and racial consciousness is

another.<br><br>This conflict can be extrapolated to show how other

conflicts arise.<br><br>I am not clamining that this is

*the* ultimate truth. However, this idea does have

merit because it explains the genesis of thought and

conflict from real causes and not imaginary or abstract

causes.<br><br>If anyone is interested, I can go into the

resolution of these conflicts.<br><br>Please let me know

your comments.
