Part 16

Karl Marx wrote: "The philosophers have interpreted the world in many different ways, the objective however is to 'change' [verändern, i.e., to transform or modify] it." (Karl Marx, Feuerbach Thesis # 11) Children are "philosophers" by nature—thinking about how the world "is," unfair (unjust), i.e., under parental control, thinking about how it "ought" to be, fair (just), i.e., where they can do what they want to do when they want to do it, and imagining how it "can" be, beautiful and free, without parental authority. They do not mind having the parent around, for security and needs satisfaction sake, as long as they do not tell them what they can or can not do, i.e., insist upon them having faith in their facts and truth and obey their commands and rules when they do not make sense (are "un-reasonable," i.e., non-sensual) to them. Thus, when subjective truth (proceeding from the child) and objective truth (proceeding from the world), i.e., emotion and motion ("reason" and action, "theory and practice," consensus and praxis) come together as one, in the 'moment,' then 'change' (synthesis or transformation) becomes 'reality.' According to Karl Marx (and Sigmund Freud), all that is needed is a facilitator of 'change' (big brother) to "help" the children to accomplish their dreams, i.e., to make their imagination, i.e., their world 'reality,' preventing them from forcing their dreams on others (as their parents did). At least that is what "the plan" was.
Thus, according to dialectic 'reasoning,' when the child's desires are restrained by the father's/Father's authority, dissatisfaction with the father's/Father's authority is engendered in the child, engendering reasoning (the child dialoguing within himself, 'justifying himself, i.e., "self" 'justification'). When reason ("self" 'justification') is made manifest (through "group dialogue") and put into action, the father's/Fathers authority system is negating in the children's feelings, thoughts, and actions and in their relationship with one another and the world. In social action (praxis) the children actualize themselves, with reasoning ("self" 'justification') becoming their savior. Reasoning needs the father's/Father's authority to engender dissatisfaction in the children, with children turning to reasoning instead of the father/Father, i.e., questioning, challenging, disobeying, and defying the father's/Father's authority in order to become themselves. According to Transformational Marxists, i.e., group psychotherapists, i.e., facilitators of 'change,' it is not reasoning alone that saves the child, it is reasoning (dissatisfaction with authority) being put into action (social action or praxis), negating the father's/Father's authority system in society, that saves the child and society, making the child and society one.
