New Democratic Communism The Universal Practical Philosophy of the Third Millennium The teaching of new political communism is absolutely necessary; to it belongs the future. It is to become a leading political philosophy in the Third Millennium for its goal is true ? to Hegelianise Marx, to make Marxism incorporate the astonishing wisdom, greatness and wealth of Hegelian philosophy. Never has there been a greater philosophy than Hegel's one; he made philosophy a science. Only if a philosophy truly refutes Hegel's philosophy, i.e. only if a philosophy develops Hegel's philosophy preserving at the same time its positive-rational content, can it hope to be a scientific philosophy. There cannot be a greater task in the Third Millennium than Hegelianising Marx's philosophy for ? unlike Marx, ? Hegel was not and could not be an Utopian thinker; in the whole his philosophy is utterly true. On the other hand, as a citizen of a monarchy Hegel prefered to be a conformist. Never did he care genuinely for the welfare of the whole political community. Marx did. That is the reason why no other philosophy deserves more than Marx's one to be called a true post-Hegelian philosophy. No other philosophy deserves more than Marx's philosophy to be developed. Yet, we have to bear in mind that Marx's philosophy does not go beyond the boundaries of abstract and, therefore, utopian communism; its abstract negation and rejection of the principle of personalism ? the principle of subjective freedom ? makes it one-sided and dogmatic. Being concrete, the absolute has in itself both sides: personalism (individualism) and communism. It is never one-sided; it invariably combines and unites the most opposite moments of rational will for subjective freedom and objective freedom in each political community. That is the reason why developing Marx's philosophy means nothing else but Hegelianising it. This, only this and nothing else but this can be the beginning of the newest Philosophy of the Third Millennium. It is Hegel that created the wisest philosophy so far. Like Heraclites whom his contemporaries called Heraclites the Dark, Hegel deserves to be called Hegel the Dark philosopher of modern times. He is still a Dark Philosopher. His philosophy is still to be understood by its supporters - to understand a philosophy means to be able to develop it. Only when have you truly understood a philosophy, you are able to develop it. Otherwise, you will only chew - like so many other intellectual "cows" - its rich contents withhout being able to develop it genuinely. One needs a courage of Will and Spirit to develop a philosophy. The rest is just pathetic dogmatism. As Hegel claims in the very beginning of the third book of his great work "The Science of Logic" that there is no refutation of Spinosism for those who do not acknowledge the freedom and the independence of the self-conscious subject. In much the same manner there is no refutation of Hegel's philosophy for those who think that it is a sacred cow, i.e. it is just unrefutable. It is their problem. There will come times when human beings will easily understand the defects and imperfections of Hegel's philosophy. Now the task is to use this unused so far wealth, to use this still undiscovered treasure in order to develop the philosophy of new political communism ? the neo-humanism of the third millennium. You can only sublate a philosophy if you can find a principle which is higher than the principle of the preceeding philosophy. That is the reason why so many university professors and lecturers are not able of sublating Hegel's pilosophy. They can only chew some old forms and some old content but are absolutely incapable of creating a new philosophy. It is philosophers with sound knowledge of the real Science of Philosophy ? of Hegelian philosophy, ? who can do a great deal of serious theoretical work in order to change the world for the better. We ? disciples of Hegel ? know far more about speculative dialectics, which dumbs and nuts, such as G.W. Bush, Tony Blair, Gordon Brown etc. know nothing about, the result being that they have been ruining their countries. What they thought was the greatest power of the USA and Great Britain was, in fact, the greatest weakness of these two countries. But you have to be a philosopher to understand that and they were not; in a way, Plato was right that only philosophers can rule a country. The New Communist Manifesto aims at helping mankind to make the world develop in a humanistic way. It is a truly philosophical work. We will make philosophy great again. But a philosophy is great only when it is workable, pragmatic, only if it can exist as an applied science and have practical applications. TO BE CONTINUED... |
