Theory on human progress

  1. Dimentio
    While marxists say that the driving force of historical development is the class relations, I think that there is something which leads to the establishment of social factors as class relations. What I think leads to a specific type of society is the establishment of new ways of harness and using energy, which leads to the rise of new social structures. For example, capitalism is not possible in pre-modern conditions.

    I think if we could unite Marx with Kardashev with the US technocratic theory (Thermodynamics), we would come not only to a conclusion what drives human development, but would also be able to predict at least hypotheses about how society will look in year 25 AET, 35 AET, 45 AET and so on.
