WindWip Marx recites history in his first 4 models of society: tribal society, ancient society, feudalism and capitalism. His claim was that the political institutions of one society had to be overthrown for the next model to come about. However I have not seen a strong argument for why one level is 'better' than the previous one - especially in the case of anarchism, or whichever model you view as the final model
.

In this case the word "better" is synonymous with survival, and survival depends on the ability to adapt and change.

Your wrong in three points . his claim was that struggle is a necessary evolutionary process. Evolution is a natural force not one that was designed to make things better for man. Evolution only stops when the species is extinct, So anarchism is not the final model.

i thought it was spot on. Who are you to say what the limits of freedom are?
