Dialectic and Voluntary

Implicit in the Marx-Engels concept of 'Voluntary' is Individuality, i. e. it is each individual member of post-Revolutionary society that has freedom of choice. Now, they leave under-determined whether in pre-Revolutionary society, i. e. in Capitalism, some activity is voluntary, e. g. that of members of the overclass, or none is, i. e. every member of the society is under the sway of some impersonal force, e. g. History. In either case, the pattern of the transition as such can be clearly characterized as either Individuation or Pluralization, i. e. with respect to Volition. But, how that pattern is inscribed in the posited Dialectical process is unclear, and to reduce it to an instance of 'Negation' only underscores how overworked the latter is in the system. Furthermore, Voluntariness itself does not explain Collective-Consciousness, which requires a further transition from I to We. So, the emergence of the Voluntary moment from the process of Revolution is an indication of the inadequacy of Dialectic Logic, even if Materialist, to the process.
