Because Marxism only uses a materialistic interpretation to understand class relations, and social conflict and a dialectical perspective to view social transformation, it follows that it’s NOT in accordance with reality. The realm in which living beings exist refers to the individual as collective body or integrated whole who interact with one another to form certain class relations, for the reason that no living being exists in perfect isolation; but how a living being expresses itself is found in an analysis of its nature and how it responds to its surroundings. Power, or life’s potential energy is just one factor that clarifies the essence of an individual’s life, like those things you would attribute to things and the inherent disposition or quality of a thing that would be common to every state of life, which an individual manifests in both the physical and spiritual aspects of their human activities. Whether selfish desires for wealth, fame, or pleasure that will cause social conflict dominates an individual’s life or compassion, in which they dedicate themselves to others’ happiness characterizes their life, power is one factor that clarifies the individual and functions to describe the state of their life. What determines an individual’s state of life then is not what they can extract from the surplus of their work under a person, company, or country that makes, grows, or supplies goods or commodities for sale; but Corresponds to how they respond to their surroundings, i.e. how their perception functions to receive and apprehend information through their senses, how their conception functions to grasp and form some idea or conception about what they perceive, the will they use to initiate an action following the creation of conception about what they perceive, and how it is they use the cognitive function of their consciousness to exercise a value judgment. This place or land where living beings’ dwell and carry out these life activities is the realm of the environment, which is a reflection of the state of life of the people who live in it. A materialist interpretation that regards only matter as constituting the universe and all its phenomena is suggesting that the desirable or necessary course of action, which is the life-essence that manifests the phenomena is irrelevant, and that a concern with physical comforts or the acquisition of wealth and material possessions, rather than with spiritual, intellectual, or cultural values is all that matters. And that is not the case, and the reason why it will always cause social conflict. Because the dialectical perspective excludes subjective elements, the discourse fails to arrive at the truth, i.e. the self and the environment are two integral aspects of an individual, where life constitutes a subjective self and its environment is its objective realm, neither of which has anything to do with contrasting arguments and everything to do with an individual having their own unique environment.
