Dear Gor
The Dialectical Materialism argues the following:
Just as colossal subterranean pressures that accumulate and periodically break through the earth's crust in the form of earthquakes, so gradual changes in the consciousness of workers lead to an explosion in the class struggle. A strike in a factory is not caused by outside "agitators", but is produced by an accumulation of changes within the factory that finally pushes the workforce to strike. The "cause" of the strike maybe something quite small and incidental, a tea-break for instance, but it has become "the last straw that breaks the camel's back", to use a popular (dialectical) expression. It has become the catalyst whereby quantity changes into quality.
So let us go through it step by step

Lenin also laid great stress on the importance of contradiction as the motive force of development. "It is common knowledge that, in any given society, the strivings of some of its members conflict with the strivings of others, that social life is full of contradictions, and that history reveals a struggle between nations and societies, as well as within nations and societies, and, besides, an alternation of periods of revolution and reaction, peace and war, stagnation and rapid progress or decline."

]Dear my friends Gor and Asim Fageary Greeting As I said previously in my early introduction, alienation is a very important subject. My concern is to discuss it farther from different source and ways.
Below are headlines of the concept "alienation" in different philosophical views, I prefer to put them like that, and I will come back to detail them specifically the one in Marx’s view.
Other words sometimes used with substantially the same meaning are self-estrangement and depersonalization, and the symptoms felt by an alienated person are similar to those of schizophrenia) Marx
(Alienation is experienced by those individuals who are immersed in means and lose sight of ends, or accept their ends ready-made from exterior source) Jean Paul Sartre
(I have just suggested that the concept of alienation seems to become questionable when the individuals identify themselves with the existence which imposed upon them and have in it their own development and satisfaction) Herbert Marcuse
(But that feeling of dependence by which man is more or less conscious that he does not and cannot exist without other being different from him and that his existence does not originate in himself) Lwing Feuerbach (Religion is an outshoot of the father complex and represents man helplessness in the world.)Sigmund Freud Also, the root of “alienation” in Hegel’s philosophy Thank you Awad hassan

Quote: Alienation is experienced by those individuals who are immersed in means and lose sight of ends, or accept their ends ready-made from exterior source) Jean Paul Sartre |
Dear Gor and the guests Greetings To follow our subject “alienation” concept, let me fist start with Jean Paul Sartre and his claim, before we come to other philosophers, especially Marx our important one in this discussion. Sartre is well known as an atheist philosopher and also a leading representative figure of existentialism philosophy. He believes in freedom and regards it our fate and destiny as human beings. Sartre takes alienation concept in different way from Marx . He sees the alienated person is individual who immersed completely in means and loses his essence and aims, and submits himself to life of society, without any kind of thinking, or critical attitude. Sartre sees even public education which encourages conformity, and mass media which through distraction take from the individual his capacity for real experience. (Alienation is far more pervasive for Sartre than it is for Marx, since it arises from the fact of social life, and not from one of its aspects, namely the mode of production. The individual can avoid this state of alienation only by assuming the determinations given him, by the look of other, the meaning inherent in his environment, and the techniques which he employs, as means to his own individual ends. Alienation is experienced by those individuals who are immersed in means and lose sight of ends, or accept their ends ready-made from exterior source. Alienation is the result of attitudes in bad faith, and its cure is the assumption of freedom. Bad faith is essentially a flight from responsible action, which is the only way to give a subjective meaning to the objective determinations which threaten us with alienation. Sartre’s alternative to alienation is more somber than that of Marx, as it brings with it anguish which result from a recognition of freedom.) Jean Paul Sartre- The Existentialist Ethic-by Norman N. Greene

Quote: (I have just suggested that the concept of alienation seems to become questionable when the individuals identify themselves with the existence which imposed upon them and have in it their own development and satisfaction) Herbert Marcuse |
Herbert Marcuse was a philosopher and one of Frankfurt school thinkers. The school connected with a place called the Institute of Social Research. Herbert Marcuse and his colleagues believed and shared Marx’s theory of historical materialism. Each one of those thinkers took this theory and fixed it to meet the need of modern society. They came to result known as “critical theory “ In his book “One Dimensional Man” published in 1964, Marcuse deeply analyzes and diagnoses the alienation concept in industrial society. He describes the mechanism through which consumer capitalism integrates individuals into its world of thought, behavior which threat human freedom and individuality in a complete administered society. Marcuse develops his ideas in a critical philosophical form to criticize existing form of behavior, thought and social organization.”One Dimensional Man” describes alienated individual in industrial society and how this individual loses his freedom and personality, and becomes dominated and alienated by the system of technology in industrial society. We are again confronted with one of the most vexing aspects of advanced industrial civilization: the rational character of its irrationality. Its productivity and efficiency, its capacity to increase and spread comforts, to turn waste into need, and destruction into construction, the extent to which this civilization transforms the object world into an extension of man’s mind and body makes the very notion of alienation questionable. The people recognize themselves in their commodities; they find their soul in their automobile, hi-fi set, split-level home, kitchen equipment. The very mechanism which ties the individual to his society has changed, and social control is anchored in the new needs which it has produced. I have just suggested that the concept of alienation seems to become questionable when the individuals identify themselves with the existence which is imposed upon them and have in it their own development and satisfaction. This identification is not illusion but reality. However, the reality constitutes a more progressive stage of alienation. The latter has become entirely objective; the subject which is alienated is swallowed up by its alienated existence. There is only one dimension, and it is ever where and in all forms. The achievements of progress defy ideological indictment as well as justification; before their tribunal, the “false consciousness” of their rationality becomes the true consciousness. One-Dimensional Man – Herbert Marcuse—by Douglas Kellner

Quote: Other words sometimes used with substantially the same meaning are self-estrangement and depersonalization, and the symptoms felt by an alienated person are similar to those of schizophrenia) Marx |
awad Marx claimed that his doctrine differed from those of earlier socialist thinkers in that his approach was scientific whereas theirs had been utopian. Instead of formulating principles for the organization of an ideal society, he devoted himself to realistic analysis of European as it then existed. He was, however, just as indignant about the abuses which he discerned in the European social structure as the most idealistic of the utopian socialists. Because of his scientific orientation, and in accordance with his attack on moral systems as ideological, he was obliged to find a basis criticism of what he felt to be social abuses. He found it in the concept of alienation, which had been originated by Hegel, and which can be defined broadly as a state of affairs in which the relation of the individual to the world, society, and to himself is inconsistent with his welfare as a personality and a human being. Other words sometimes used with substantially the same meaning are self-estrangement and depersonalization, and the symptoms felt by an alienated person are similar to those of schizophrenia. The individual cannot recognize his own purposes in the results of his effort, and there is a gulf between his in intentions and the consequences of the acts which are motivated by these intentions. Another way of describing an alienated person is to say that the conduct required of a person by his social situation does not meet his emotional needs; human nature is out of accord with social system. The particular form which Marx gave to this concept was a description of man as alienated by the economic system: In the attempt to provide for his material needs man organizes himself for economic activity and sets in motion a pattern of institutional development which results in dehumanizing of work for the laboring class, and a class system in which the worker is robbed of the fruits of his own labor—the theory of surplus value. The worker himself becomes a commodity like any other object whose value is determined by the market conditions. The capitalist system thus appears as inhuman, and the task to be achieved is the overthrow of the existing social order and the establishment of a classless society in which man’s self –alienation will come to an end. Marx apparently envisaged the classless society as a society in which human relations would take spontaneous forms. The class system, the state, law, the family, and ideology – in short, society as we know it—would with away and be replaced by natural and harmonious social relationships.

Religion and ALienation
Quote: Sufism and religion create alienation |
Gor
Quote: But that feeling of dependence by which man is more or less conscious that he does not and cannot exist without other being different from him and that his existence does not originate in himself) Lwing Feuerbach |
Awad Ludwing Feurbach 1804-1872,German materialist philosopher The feeling of dependence in man is the source of religion; but the object of this dependence, viz., that upon which man is and feels himself dependent is originally nothing but nature. Nature is the first original object of religion as is sufficiently proved by the history of all religions and nations. The assertion that religion is innate with and natural to a man, is false if religion is identified with theism; but it is perfectly true, if religion is considered to be nothing but that feeling of dependence by which man is more or less conscious that he does not and cannot exist without another being, different from himself and that his existence does not originate in himself. (Religion thus understood, is as essential to man as light to the eyes, as air to the lungs as food to the stomach. Religion is the manifestation of man’s conception of himself, but above all man is a being who does not exist without light, without air, without water, without earth, without food- he is, in short, a being dependent on nature. This dependence in the animal, and in man as far as he moves within sphere of the brute, is only an unconsciousness and un reflected one; but by its elevation into consciousness and imagination, by its consideration and profession, it becomes religion) (The essence of religion. Ludwig Feuerbach- by Alexander Loos) (God is nothing more to man than “man”. He claims later “ man fist of all sees his nature as if out of himself, but before he finds it in himself”. Since god of the consciousness of human beings, he is part of human beings.) Essence of Christianity – pg 378-Ludwig Feuerbach

Religion and AlienationQuote: Religion is an outshoot of the father complex and represents man helplessness in the world.)Sigmund Freud |
Awad Sigmund Freud,1856-1939,Austrian Psychologist Religion is an outshoot of the father-complex and represents man’s helplessness in the world, having to face the ultimate fate of death, the struggle of civilization, and the forces of nature. He view God as child-like “longing for [a]father “((p9-18)in his words “ the Gods retain the threefold task ; they must exorcize the terrors of nature, they reconcile men to cruelty of fate, particularly as it is shown in death, and they compensate them for the sufferings and privations which a civilized life is command has imposed on them) (Psychoanalysis of Religion)Sigmund Freud. “His ideas about religion were also developed in “The Future of illusion” 1927. When Freud spoke of religion as illusion, he maintained that it is a fantasy structure form which a man must be set free if he is to grow to maturity; and in his treatment of unconsciousness he moved toward atheism .I n this sense Freud approached the Marxist theory of alienation “

عزيزى حسان عزيزى فقيرى المتداخلين بالبوست تحية واحترام هناك طلب متزايد لتحويل لغة البوست الى العربية .. هذا بالطبع أمر مفيد وعاقل . لكن هناك نقطة جديرة بالتوضيح فالبوست عنوانه سيكون باللغة العربية ( الصراع فى الماركسية) . يتم التركيز على المفردة (تغريب )Aleinnation بالطبع كان مدخلى من منظور دراسات السلم والنزاعات Peace & Conflict Studies... وتعرضت الى مفهوم الصراع الطبقى فالماركسية ترى ان استغلال الطبقة البرجوازية لطبقة البروليتاريا يقود الى ( التغريبوالعجز) لذى يقود الى الصراع فالنظرية الماركسية فى النزاعات معرفيا تنظر الى التغريب والعجز أشباب Human Aggression لكل ذلك كنت قد دعوت الى التركيز على مفردة ( التغريب) .. هناك مداخلات غنية ، عميقة لدى كل من عوض حسان والاستاذ فقيرى .. حيث قاما بتعريفات شاملة وعميقة ، وفحص لهذه لمفردة فى الفلسفات المختلفة يدل على تمكنهما من هذا المجال الهام ... بينما ذهبت أنا الى الزعم بأن التغريب الذى يعنيه ماركس أبعد من المعنى المادى . وضربت مثل بالشاعر الالمانى بريخت ...التغريب حالة نفسية و حالة انعصاب وجدانى قد لا تقود ال العنف أو النزاع قد تقود ال الانطواء. بلاشك المعنى ينطوى على مفهوم ترانسدانتالى... وأرى فى التغريب حالة تاملية. الحدس الابداعى به تغريب التصوف به تغريب الوجودية حالة من الاغتراب الوجدانى .. اذا لقد كان الفيلسوف ماركس عميقا فى دعوة التغريب .. الآن عالمنا يذهب نحو تغريب وتشيؤ منقطع النظير

وهذه ترجمة لصدر البوست :
هناك صراع حتمي بسبب عدم العدالة الناجم عن الاختلافات فى البقات الاجتماعية.فى المجتمعات الراسمالية يتسبب الصراع والاستقطاب بين الطبقة العاملة والبرجوازية مما يؤدى الى استغلال الطبقة العاملة من قبل البرجوازية،مما يقود الى الاغتراب Alienation والعجز Powerlessness فيصح الصراع الطبقي أمرا حتميا.وترتكز الماركسية على المادية التاريخية فلسفيا فى تفسير المجتمع والتاريخ.نمط الانتاج والبنية التحتية تحدد خصائص وصفات المجتمع الاجتماعية والسياسية والروحية.الاقتصاد هو أساس البناء التحتي
