i have a oretty general idea of what dialetics is about, but im kinda curious if theres room for like regression in it. would probably require some kind of huge disaster like earth losing its magnetic field or some doomsday scenario, but im still curious, is there like a few social constructs or institutions that if we lost it tomorrow, we'd be kicked back to the stone age in terms of economic development?
Yeah this is what marx meant by the common destruction of the contending classes. Like if we the proles fail to defeat the boug it would lead to societal collapse. However it probably wouldn't be an exact reversion to an older system, it would be a different system all together and miserable. And to be honest it seems like any truly big problem like massive climate change could do this due to capitalisms inability to solve problems and emergencies with effectiveness needed.
