So long as he does not gain it...
So long as he does not gain it, he remains an animal by nature and there is no question of the unity of his spirit and life. It is unhumanistic to consider material things to be the cause of the split and coalescence of man and to think that with their division man is divided and with their unification he is united, and that his moral and social personality is subservient to economic and production situation.
Such notions are the result of not knowing man and not believing in his humanity and his faculties of understanding and will. Furthermore, it is impossible to sever man's private relation with other things totally. Even if his relation with wealth and property is severed, it is not possible to do so in the case of wife, children and family. Is it possible to introduce socialism in this field also, and to establish sexual communism?
If this is possible, then why are the countries, which abolished private property long ago, still sticking to private family system? Suppose the natural family system is also socialized, what will be done about jobs, positions, prestige and honour? Is it possible to distribute these things also equally? What will be done about the physical and mental abilities of the individuals? These relationships are an integral part of the existence of every individual and are not separable from him. III.
Realistic Theory According to this theory, what splits and divides man from individual and social point of view is neither man's relation with the things nor the relation of the things with man. Man's bondage neither originates from his ownership nor from his being owned. This theory gives first importance to such factors as education, training, revolution, thinking, ideology and spiritual freedom. It believes that man is neither a purely material being nor a purely spiritual being.
This worldly life and the next worldly life are closely interconnected with each other. The body and the soul interact. A struggle should be made against the factors causing psychological split with the help of faith and unity in worship, and a war should be waged against discrimination, injustice, deprivation, oppression, suffocation, and false gods. This is the Islamic way of thinking. As soon as Islam appeared, it started a movement and began to bring about a revolution.
But it never said that if discrimination and injustice were removed or private property was abolished, everything would be all right.
