History, Peace, Power

In some passages, it is Peace that Kant posits as the goal of History.  But in others, the goal is to be "worthy" of that Peace, by being its creator.  Now, this priority of Deservedness over Happiness is developed in the 2nd Critique, in passages that are arguably groundlessly designed to make room in his system for the existence of a deity, i. e. as a rewarder of Happiness for having been Virtuous.  So, paring his concept of History of its problematic theological commitment, what remains of the goal of Deservedness is that of Creativity, or, in other words, of the empowerment of humans to determine their own society.  Also, unlike Deservedness, which is the Good of individual Rational beings, universal Empowerment can be conceived as beneficial to the Species qua concrete existent, with respect to which Peace can be an enervating condition.  Analogously, in Marxism, the peace of Socialism can be conceived as de-vitalizing permanent Revolution.
