[Marxism] Wisdom and Society

["Charles Brown" <cbrown@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mark Lause 

But there were many claimants to this.  Over the past few weeks, I was
reading Henry Thomas Buckle, an English scholar cited by early American
socialists much more than Marx and Engels.  He interests me as someone like
August Comte, who were seeking laws of history that would be comparable to
Newton's laws of gravity or Darwin's concept of evolution....

I'm almost certain that Marx never made such a claim and I'm not really sure
whether Engels intended to do so.

CB: What do you make of the following holy textual statement by Marx ?

 
 
" My
standpoint, from which the evolution of the economic formation of society is
viewed as a process of natural history, can less than any other make the
individual responsible for relations whose creature he socially remains,
however much he may subjectively raise himself above them. "
