Waistline: Chapter 32 of Capital 1 is as stated four paragraphs and begins with a discussion of primitive accumulation of capital and the process - tendency of capital to socialize and concentrate the individualized and scattered means of production. With Hegelian formulation in hand Marx speaks of negation as the inner movement logic of this historical tendency. At paragraph one I see nothing that evenly remotely speaks of "the One World, One species aspects of capitalist globalisation." Paragraph two witnesses Marx dance of the dialectic, firmly holding upon the negation, as he describes the laborer being converted into proletarian; as part of the historical process making the next person to be expropriated - negated, our very own capitalists, who negated a previous existing form of private property. I still cannot locate the part that implies that Marxists see "capitalist globalization" - rather than socialization of the productive forces, as laying the ground work for a socialism that has something to do with socializing aspects of "capitalist globalization".
^^^ CB: Think of it this way. The socialization of the productive forces that Marx refers to there, he considers occurs almost all _under capitalism_, not in socialism. A lot of this socialization of labor was done during Marx's era and before and in earlier times of the Leninist imperialist stage of capitalism. Today's capitalist globalization is a continuation of that capitalist socialization of labor and production. We have a worldwideweb of labor from capitalist "globalizations" as described in _The Manifesto_ ,and on the news today. Today in the news, "globalization" is just the bourgeois euphemism and slang term for the imperialism of the last 20 or 30 years. ^^^ In fact I do not see the part about one species. ^^^ CB: See _The Economic and Philosophic Manuscripts of 1844_ on "species-being". Marxism aims to organize the life of the whole species. the "World" in "World Socialist Revolution" refers to the whole _human_ world, the whole human species. The "globe" of "globalization" is meant to refer to this same whole "world". "Globe" in "globalization" is not talking about the earth's spherical geometry and geophysical features, but to _all_ of its human inhabitants ,and their societies, economies and nations. There are no humans outside of the "globe" so, "global" is synonymous with "all" or the whole, or the whole species. ^^ Unless one means the conversion of the laborer into proletarian.
