Brief Dialectics of Production

Production is the most fundamental practical activity of man, where from all social and intellectual activities are stemmed from. To produce, individuals must enter into mutual relations whereby prior isolation is eliminated, resulting in a body capable of production. These definite connections and relations with each other form the collective productive body, wherein production takes place. In class society, these relations lead directly to class relations. It is therefore the duty of the productive collective to place in their hands the means of production and enter into a relationship backed by the state as the guarantor of self-management infrastructure and organization/planning.

The form of ownership of the means of production is the single most important factor in constituting class relations. The form of ownership determines the nature of production and the relations constituted within it; consider, for example, the contrast between a capitalist and socialist mode of ownership, or a feudal and slave mode of ownership. The form of ownership is what directly forms the role of the people in production and the mutual relations they have established. Productive forces, too, play a role in this. Productive forces are essentially the human skill and force exerted to transform nature and material, composed of the people. We regard the people as the most important, as tools and machines are simply not the determining factor. Consider that every machine and tool requires human agency, a decisive agent behind the mode of production. The relation between both productive bodies and productive forces are what constitute overall production, which itself is essentially the overall collective of the various branches of production. Productive forces play the decisive role (as we discussed, due to human agency); we can see this reflected in the various stages of industrial development throughout history, particularly the industrial revolutions which, inherently being a radical change in productive forces, fundamentally changed how we viewed labor relations and overall production. In any case, the relations of production and productive forces must be necessarily congruent, as both are inextricably linked and tied together, as a matter of objectivity. It is therefore the necessity of the workers to take into their own hands a model conducive to their prosperity as the primary drivers of material and social development, part and parcel with a state consistent with the principles of the proletarian nation. In any case, the necessity of socialized industry in congruency with the end of class antagonism is a dialectical prediction by nature.
