MATERIALIST CONCEPTION
HISTORY OR ECONOMIC
DETERMINiSM
Karl Marx

In every historical epoch the pre-
vailing mode of economic production
and exchange and the social organiza-
ton necessarily following from it
form the basis upon which is built
up and from which alone can be ex-
planned the political and intellectual
history of that epoch; that conse-
quently the whole history of mankind
(since the dissolution of primitive
tribal society holding land in common
ownership has been a history of
class struggles, contests between ex-
plotted and exploiting, ruling and ops
pressed classes; that the history Of
these class struggles form series
of evolution in which nowadays a
stage has been reached where the ex-

SENATOR OWEN, ANARCHIST

Senator Robert l.. Owen, "the gen
tleman from Oklahoma friend of
the peepel," also a friend of labor
and all.round good man." the kind
of orator-poltcian half-baked Social
lists believe to be almost Red"
etc. frankly stated the other day that
he and his class do not believe in
Flaw and order" and majority rule,
and that IL the common people should
cast their ballots in favor of collec-
tive ownership and democratic con
troll of the resources of the United
states. It would be up to his class, as
neutrality-suspicious., to resort to
lawlessness and violence, including
murder, to retain their control of the
nations resources. Private owner

troll by the few of the means where.

tanned by the privileged minority,
even though "war may be necessary
to suppress Socialism"
OF course, the Honorable Senator
did not put the case as bluntly as it
is stated here, but he meant precisely
what we have expressed in plain Eng
fish in the paragraph above. The gen
tleman is clear-headed enough, how
ever, to understand that capitalism,
the present despotic competitive sys-

the enslaved masses, or they may be

racy, in the interest of the nations

CoMRADE STONE ON
ECONOMIC DETERMINISM

Barring, Wn., Feb. IA, 1916,
Dear Comrade:
As | generally agree with your po-
sition on Socialism, l was somewhat
surprised to read your short editorial
on Economic Determinism"
I consider 1t a crime to in any way
belittle the exquisite work of that
estimable old lady; for, whatever we
have been, are, or hope to be, we can
only become because of her, She is
truly the mother of us all
Economic Determinism, as | under
stand the term, is the adaptation of
all organic beings to the environ
ment in which they have their being,
Further, that favorable conditions of
life always produce one result, and
unfavorable conditions another,
Hence, we have every right to sup
pose that the operation of this law
or principle is uniform.
ment for cats and mice, for instance,
! is somewhat antagonistic, the prob
| lem is necessarily very complicated.
1t is easily observable, en- masse, that
Icreatures must adapt themselves to
their environment or perish, but it
| is not so easily seen how it works
out with respect to the individual.
But, as the basic law of development,
we may be perfectly sure that it en-
tiers into every ramification of life.
| For there is no scientific reason to
believe that there are any exceptions
to any general rule, the old saying to
the contrary, Notwithstanding. The
principle is always the same 1t is
only in its application that it varies
Different individuals respond to Civ
en- stimulus in as many different ways
as there are differences in constitu
| ton. Economic determinism works
both on the individual and on the
race. Generally it is immediate ma
terial interes THAT carries the day
but this is not always so, as witness
certain animals that lay up stores for
future use. The same is often true
of both individual and cooperative eff
forts of man In all instances it's the
same principle at work, and it excerpts
no one. It's application differ as in
dividuals differ So, look again
Brother, and you will not belittle your
mother.
Sincerely,

CUE. NEXT MOVE

When Socialists read OF capitalist
class patriots openly admitting that
the will Of the majority, expressed at
the polls, is to be recognized by them
only so long as the bone-heads of the
ration vote away the products Of
their labor to the master-class, under
wage-slavery, and that they win re
sort to violence AMI murder if the
working-class refuse longer to vote
for continuance of capitalist-class rule
and robbery, many of them, no doubt
feel as thought it were time to initiate
a program of preparedness" on their
own account And so it is, high time.
Soon it will be too late. History is
being made very fast these days.
preparedness" of one kind or another
is the need of the hour. But, in our
Judgment, there is only one kind of
preparedness" that can serve the
ends of the working class at this
time, and that is: ORGANIZATION.
So far as the workers are concerned,

Last December, Mr.. Ernest Thomp-

America, resigned his position be-
cause the organization had ceased to
function excepting as the training
ground for future military heroes, AS

Scouts were only placed foremost in

ing the real objects of the organiza-

Nearly two years ago, Comrade Eli

nature and purposes of the Boy Scout

We have today received your note

We find that we received your for
mer inquiry on March End, and on
March 4th sent you an answering let

did not reach you,
As you will see by the sheet, We

We feel, however, that as Social
lists, while not opposing such an eff
fort as this, we ought to do all we
can to develop the functions of the
public school and public recreation
systems along the lines suggested by
this boy scout movement In time,
no doubt, these two functions win
converge and be co-ordinated.
Meanwhile, we suggest that you
write to the Boy Scouts of America,
at the address above, and ask for a

NESS are one and the same thing.
Education? Education is included III
the work of organization. Organiza-
ton is the effect of education, it is
education crystaliZed. One can do a
certain amount of educational, or
propaganda, work without building an
an organization without doing educa-
tional work of the very highest order.
So we claim that the best form of
preparedness" for the working class
at this time is ORGANIC ALTON, Or
ganiZation on both the economic and
the political field. The man who ad-
vocates the political without reaching
the other principle of working-class
solidarity, Is but leaving half the work
to some one else. Possibly specializa-
ton in one or the other field is JUS
tifiable, under existing conditions,
Nevertheless, the fact should be fully
recognized and acknowledged, at all
times, that complete organization will
be realized in fact only when indus
trial and political solidarity fully sup
plement one another. This is the
goal of all true Socialists, and is, in
our humble opinion, the one form OF
working-class preparedness" worthy
our consideration.

Director Information Dept

S03 w. Madison ST., Chicago
April, 1914
Our Investigations of the boy scout
movement indicate that an organiza-
ton known as the American Boy
Scouts originated in a military spir-
it. This organization is now known
as the United States Boy Scouts, but
it has only very few branches, with
not more than 5000 members, and
is not widely known.
This organization was probably the
basis of hostility on the part of the
Socialists everywhere toward the
movement. The Socialist movement,
of course, stands absolutely opposed
to military ideas and activities in any
connection whatever.
In about 1910, however, a new or
ganization was formed, known as the
Boy Scouts of America. Application
to their headquarters, 200 Fifth Ave,
New York, brought us copy of their
official handbook. We find nothing
at all of a military nature mentioned
in it, and much that is opposed to
militarism. It's purposes and prac-
tees all seem to be entirely com
mendable, and with the military
phase eliminated, as it is, it would
seem that we cannot afford to fight
the movement 1t has over 100000
members, and is the organization
most widely known.
