Yeah, I've often recommended Chapter 6 – Who were the winners in the scientific revolution? (pp. 349-421) for comrades to try to get to grips with the socio-historic roots of bourgeois science, but the Religious Materialists who follow Engels don't read much history, do they?Faith In Matter can't try to locate 'matter' in history and society, and so allow us to change it (because it is, as Marx argued, our product and so amenable to our changing of it), but Faith In Matter Knows Matter As It Eternally Is.I know that you haven't got a clue what I'm talking about, alan, as you've admitted many times, but take the well-meant advice of a Democratic Communist and Marxist – try to read further about Marx and his differences with Engels and the Religious Materialism that Lenin and other elitists, like the SPGB, espouse.You could do worse than starting with Conner's chapter – although I no longer expect anyone on this site to follow up, since most clearly haven't even read Marx or Engels.
