Political Love and Communism
Hegel and Marx propose a solution to the problem of clashing self-fulfillments by advocating for the realization of capabilities that enable reciprocal self-realization, termed communism by Marx. This concept emphasizes that individual fulfillment should be the foundation for the fulfillment of others, defining it as love. This perspective of love within Marxism focuses on political love, different from the romantic or erotic aspect, transcending sentiments to become a social practice with potential life-threatening consequences. Ultimately, the goal is the free development of each individual as a condition for the free development of all, highlighting the essence of love in a broader social context.
