[Xmca-l] Re: Intrinsic motivation?

[Andy Blunden]

How is it then, Martin, that there is a women's movement? which even 
includes working class women?
And how is it that there are dozens of different political currents in 
the workers' movement, even rival trade union federations?
I do not agree with the dichotomy objective (=class, or state, or 
whatever) vs personal. Universal and individual are either mediated by 
the particular or they are meaningless.
I do not agree that classes step on to the stage of history as ready 
made subjects with self-consciousness and a political program.
For a loyal Stalinist of course all these matters are settled. Women 
like men are guided by the Party. There is only one party of the working 
class. Individuals must subordinate themselves to the state, the object 
of the activity of a firm is to meet the 5 Year plan.
Why be surprised about what I think, Martin? What do *you* think?

I would think that an argument could be made that the motive, the interest, of a class could be considered objective, in the sense that it confronts individuals as something independent of their personal motives. And even that the interest of one class in particular could be considered objective in the sense that it aligns with - or drives - a historical movement towards greater equity and lesser exploitation.
