48. For the Marxists, this is a sort of empirical necessity, that is, a necessity discovered through observation of the facts; while for Hegel, of course, it is a logical necessity, a necessity of the reason.
49. This does not mean a mysterious inner force, but just the natural evolution and improvement of tools.
50. This use of the word “civilization” is from L. Morgan, but his use of the term “ancient society” as a synonym for “pre-civilization” is not followed.

61. It may be remarked that though the basis for this analysis is clearly present in the Marxist exposition, it is not stressed, or even explicitly stated, by the authors.
62. See Engels’ Landmarks of Scientific Socialism, Section on the “Negation of the Negation,” Chapter 7.
63. Ibid. 166-7.
64. This does not purport to be a complete exposition of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right. It is but a selective account, including only those features of the theory to which there are corresponding Marxist doctrines.

78. In this connection, Hegel refers to the political economists, Smith, Lay, and Ricardo, indicating a knowledge of them which might possibly have had some bearing on his theory of value.- Ibid. Section 189, note.

85. It is interesting to consider this statement in the light of Veblen’s strange contention that one of two lines of antecedents of the Marxist system is the theory of Natural Rights. Cf. Veblen, Socialist Economics of Karl Marx and His Followers, Quarterly Journal of Economics (August, 1906, and February, 1907) 584.

92. This expression is more often translated “wither away” as in Lenin’s book, The State and the Revolution. This translation is more popular among Marxists because it it more graphic and more expressive of the gradual nature of the state’s disappearance.

96. There is probably an elaborate statement by Marx to this effect, for, according to D. B. Ryasanov, in an article entitled The Posthumous Writings of Marx and Engels, he found, in the course of his search for Marxist manuscripts, a criticism of Hegel’s Philosophy of Law which is as yet both unpublished and untranslated. Cf. International Press Correspondence (Vienna, January 4, 1924) 4.1.8.
97. Engels speaks of it as the “metaphysical” attitude, for which the true or dialectical method must be substituted. See above, 103, 109.
98. Engels points out that many of the formulae are of no practical value, and the book is largely filled with them. He has taken the trouble to summarize and simplify in a few pages the formulae which Marx gives in full, and which cover hundreds of pages. He explains, however, that they were really only Marx’s notes, and by no means pre-pared by him for publication. The second and third volumes of Capital were published by Engels some years after Marx died.
99. Labriola says that this “great contradiction” is not an inconsistency in thought but a true representation of an actual contradiction in reality.
