Of course, one has to read

Of course, one has to read Marx’s work, as well as that of others, with some sensitivity and with no little common sense.
Here is what he said:
“The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas, i.e. the class which is the ruling material force of society, is at the same time its ruling intellectual force. The class which has the means of material production at its disposal, has control at the same time over the means of mental production, so that thereby, generally speaking, the ideas of those who lack the means of mental production are subject to it. The ruling ideas are nothing more than the ideal expression of the dominant material relationships, the dominant material relationships grasped as ideas; hence of the relationships which make the one class the ruling one, therefore, the ideas of its dominance. The individuals composing the ruling class possess among other things consciousness, and therefore think. Insofar, therefore, as they rule as a class and determine the extent and compass of an epoch, it is self-evident that they do this in its whole range, hence among other things rule also as thinkers, as producers of ideas, and regulate the production and distribution of the ideas of their age: thus their ideas are the ruling ideas of the epoch.”
I don’t think we can call the transfer of ‘information’ between certain molecules a ‘ruling idea of the epoch’.
And it’s worth noting that Marx didn’t say that the ideas of the ruling class are the only ruling ideas — had he done so you might have had a point.
But, even so, I must apologise; silly me, I thought I had loggged into a socialist web site.
Or does SPGB stand for ‘Spiritual Party of Great Britain’?
