As has been previously discussed, Marx's concept of Laborer is derived from Kant's concept of Self. Now, entailed in the latter is the concept of Time as a Form of Experience, with respect to which Objective Time is abstracted. But, History is a species of Time. Thus, any concept of Objective History abstracts from personal experience. Hence, a proper Marxist concept of Object History conceives it as a mystification that perpetuates the powerlessness of the Proletariat, not as a process immanent in Matter. Likewise, a decisive moment in the awakening of Class Consciousness is the awareness that workers can make History, and not merely endure it.
