A minor purpose of this comment is to highlight Mann's use of the term 'ruling class'; this allows a better appreciation of the differences between Tsarist Russia and Wilhelmine Germany. The major purpose of the comment is to argue that social evolutionism has something to be said in its favour. Mann is right to discount the radical potential of workers, but newer middle class elements may have greater salience
