Species, Diversification, Private Property

Unification and Diversification of its Members are the two structural characteristics of a Species.  Accordingly, both distinguishing oneself from others, and associating with others, are among the basic drives of each Member.  Now, the most distinctive behavior is that which is creative, since it produces concrete novelty, i. e. a variation of the given.  So, 'individuality', i. e. being different from others, is not best exemplified by private property, as Capitalists tend to assert, since it is merely a distinction within the given.  In other words, the transition to Capitalism, say from Feudalism, can be interpreted as a process of Species-diversification, i. e. from relative social homogeneity.  But, Capitalism does not thereby achieve maximum differentiation, despite the contentions of many of its contemporary advocates.
