Evolution, Capitalism, Marxism

As has been previously discussed, 'to Evolve' is, most generally, 'to transition from lesser to greater comprehensiveness', a process which entails the dissolution of a smaller unity, and the formation of a larger one.  So, Marxism Socialism is the product of an Evolutionary process insofar as it consists in the elimination of Class distinctions.  However, as is expressed in "Workers of the world unite", it is more immediately Evolutionary insofar as it consists in the dissolution of National unities.  Likewise, Wealth of Nations spans the transition from provincial organization to a National one.  Thus, in an Evolutionary concept of History, which spans both the origination of the Human species, as well as its transition from a local phenomenon to global domination, Capitalism and Marxist Socialism constitute successive phases of development.  So, because that concept is more comprehensive than that of Dialectical Materialism, or of any other that has appeared thus far, Evolutionary development is the fundamental significance of each.
