Scientific Socialism and Ethical Socialism

If the consciousness of Class-Conflict motivates a worker to revolt, it is not because they recognize in it a Contradiction. It is because the Conflict, more precisely, consists in the exploitation of workers. Furthermore, if that motivation includes its validation, it is on the basis of the principle that exploitation is unjust. Now, the system that is derived from that principled motivation is sometimes called 'Ethical Socialism', a variety of the same 'Utopian Socialism' that Marx and Engels regard as inferior to Scientific Socialism, i. e. in which Revolution is justified as a response to a moment of Contradiction in a Dialectical Materialist pattern. So, the variety of Socialism that is incipient in Class-Consciousness is not the one that Marx and Engels espouse, even if it is the better-grounded of the two.
