DESIGNCRACY

First lines of the first chapter of Communist “Manifesto”:

"The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles. Freeman and slave, patrician and plebian, lord and serf, guild-master and journeyman, in a word, oppressor and oppressed, stood in constant opposition to one another, carried on an uninterrupted, now hidden, now open fight, a fight that each time ended, either in a revolutionary reconstitution of society at large, or in the common ruin of the contending classes."

In the above lines of the Marx’ Manifesto, using the term “revolutionary reconstitution,” and also using the term "ruin of contending classes," which both contain the most top-level violence and rage which can happen in a society, described well by Marx, clearly shows the nature and essence of the evolution in social history at least in recent centuries: lack of a humanistic and peaceful “gradual and logical social and economic reform” literature, and vacant from representing any practicable prudent and low-damage solution for class-contrasts instead of to ruin part of society at the end(I prefer to use social-contrasts.).

Despite the mentioned lines of manifesto which in a way implies Marx’ POV (point of view) about the “social stratification and its direct relation to class and social struggles”, I believe that this relation is not that much a direct relation of cause and effect. In my opinion, the root of the problem was not the class distinctions or in other words “Marx's two-opposite-class society in history” but the main source of problem was and also is “unjust inequality within a society which is consisted of few classes quantitatively." There is an inherent difference and cognitive distance between “class distinctions” and “unjust inequality” (which this latter leads to struggles) so that the “class distinctions” is possible to be fair but “unjust inequality” or even “unjust equality” is inherently unjust and unacceptable under any circumstance.

Designcracy is opposed to the traditional definition of the “evolution of society" through class contrasts and condemns this method as a rushing and reckless approach to resolve a conflict which has indeed completely scientific and logical reasons and roots.
