Marxism and the Nature of Groups

This paper is concerned with an analysis of some of the meanings that can be given the word 'group'. By an analysis of this concept I hope to outline the form of association that can be expected to lead to Marxisttype formulations. I shall also hope to show that the form of association concerned-frequently known as the 'Primary Group'-is fragile and has within it, through its internal contradictions, the seeds of its own decay. In elaborating this thesis I shall first analyse certain forms of association, and only later relate such an analysis to Marxism direct. Any discussion of such an issue is open to bias. My own will be found in the next sentence
