'Molecular Democracy' 5.3 [chapters]

These are the ones I currently consider finished.

What is an MDem entry?

"MDem" is a work-in-progress book (very in-progress) about what nobody has understood about applying and communicating Marxism. Every time I think I've figured out a major error where various Marxisms have failed to analyze recent decades or each other I attempt to add it in some form to this book.
Some things get cut out and only remain as a single sentence. Some things get extensive chapters written about them. The book evolves as I get better understandings of individual things and how they go together.
As the underlying model evolves I sometimes separate out entries into different "versions" (similar to book editions, only none of them are published books). Relatively small changes separate entries into point versions. Big rewrites lead to new major versions.

"MDem" (when not in italics) also refers to a cluster of theoretical methods, including meta-Marxism (a framework for comparing multiple separate Marxisms despite them otherwise talking past each other every time they try to analyze each other), and hypothetically, future country-specific forms of Marxism which would start their models at small scales working up to large discrete objects and would be created using the meta-Marxist framework.

The "M" stands for "molecular", and in short refers to dialectical materialism. The title of the book is trying to say that "democracy" amounts to nonsense gobbledygook unless it includes an understanding of all cause and effect in the universe as coming from collisions of two separate things that change each other and produce a new big thing that exists at the same time as them. In version 4.3 I assumed it was perfectly intuitive to illustrate this with chemical reactions and polymers, though I now think I undershot on that and I'm working on a whole chapter about "relativistic determinism" (that's dialectical materialism for math professors) and what it actually is and the basic ways it changes nearly every physics equation.
