This book asks how we can resolve conflict from the capitalist world view. It exposes the intellectual basis of contemporary capitalism as a logically flawed dialectic that prevents both revolutionary options in theory and also, in practice, the evolution of capitalism itself towards the revolutionary outcome outlined by Smith and Marx. As a consequence, it practices intolerance—disguised as tolerance—toward radical thinking, which explains its propensity to war and the fascistic features of its economics and politics. True revolution, on the other (...) hand, is radically tolerant of the presence of the other and therefore nonviolent at the core. (shrink)

This multidisciplinary work departs from the Marxist materialist tradition by criticizing its logical flaws and its incapacity to work out a naturalistic materialism. Micocci argues that capitalism itself is based on a dialectical intellectuality enforced despite the non-dialectical potentialities present in the material in general. Capitalism, therefore, is a massifying system isolated from nature by an intellectual fiat, and has no capacity for theoretical and technical innovation.
