On the development of true individuality

What I mean by surrendering is not our individuality, but the illusion that we are already individuals. This is pure egotism that the proletariat in their deepest oppression have been stripped of the illusions of which. It makes them the only class ready to pursue that individuality we all desire.

Class society constructs in the petty bourgeois and the bourgeois particularly this concept of ego. It is a reaction to the accumulation of wealth as private property or capital.

The Pharaohs of Egypt were also very rich and were able to ostensibly consume this wealth. However the property remain an aspect of the state. Like France King Louie the 14 the Sun God, who said "I am the state" , for the Pharaohs not only were they the state but they were a God as will.

Private property is alien to that these political constructs. As private property grew throughout history the concept of the individual also grew as a function of this relation.

It finds its full expression in the capitalist system. A qualitative leap occur as the the quantitative relation induced by the tremendous expansion of wealth bring millions into the relationship previous only enjoyed by the few.

Only this advance in the form of individuality was not complete. Particularly for the petty bourgeois who remain as functional parts of an overall economic machine. They remain subject to the social conditioning requirements of this machine.

Their individuality remain crippled by the all consuming requirements of the division of labor process.

The bourgeois class is most crippled by their particular role in this machine. Being a parasite they have to develop a psychopathic consciousness in order to efficiently exploit and kill us when it is necessary.

The process of individuality is ongoing process that only be completed when we are completely free from the division of labor process, i.e live and grow in a classless and automated Communist society.

A revolutionary who sacrifices everything to the revolution and fully commit him or herself physically and mentally can come close to being an true individual.

This means absorbing all the sciences possible and devoting them to the class struggle. There is no time for family or any other occupations.

I am not such a person, no matter how much I try. Unfortunately this knowledge came to late in my life, many fetishes tie me down. A truly great Communist revolutionary should be raised from birth in a collective. Just as we have planned economies we must have a plan for our revolutionary men and women.

Heroism is merely the absence of fetishism in all its forms. When one is free of all illusions it is easy to act.

Also remember Humanity itself is merely a step on the evolutionary ladder. Part of the egotism to overcome is this fetish for the eternality of our existing form. We should look forward in excitement to what we can develop into, instead of fearing to lose what we have, which have mostly been very disappointing.
