Socratic-Marxist Hegelians won
Social forms, consciousness and civilization all develop historically as a result of material conditions. Feudalism was not natural to humans, it was historically imposed on the masses who accepted it under the justifications of divine right and the materially imposition of the frankish warrior classes. It became normal because the consciousness of the peasantry grew to accept it.
Capitalism is not a natural order for humans. It is justified with explanations such as it's normal for humans to compete for resources and money, when it is in fact the manipulation of material conditions to create this system.
Just because there are patterns does not mean you have to follow them. *You* have the choice to choose your own consciousness and social forms, and we can all work together to change the world. The world DOES NOT have to be this way. Truth is a process, not a static phrase. Truth evades symbolization. By looking at the negativity within everything we see the imperfections that drive the truth process that lead to change. Truth is always fractured and incomplete. There is no static human nature. It is our job to understand truth for as long as we live, for truth will continue after we have died.
