Marx noted the following passage: *The time will come, nevertheless, when human intelligence will rise to the mastery over property...__A mere property career is not the final destiny of mankind__. The time which has passed away since civilisation began is but a fragment (and very small) of the past duration of man’s existence; and but a fragment of the ages yet to come. The dissolution of society bids fair to become the termination of a career of which property is the end and aim; because such a career contains the elements of self-destruction...It (a higher plan of society) will be a revival, in a higher form, of the liberty, equality and fraternity of the ancient gentes.* (Krader 1974: 139; emphasis in original)

Marx in the Anthropocene: Towards the Idea of Degrowth Communism

Questions remain, however, about how often scientists—even those protected by tenure and academic freedom—are truly cowed by the potential that their research might land them in hot water (see Kempner 2008). Answering this question takes on even greater importance during times when scientists feel so much precarity about their work. The answer may depend on mul- tiple variables: how secure do scientists feel in their employment? How secure is their academic freedom and how supportive are the administrators where they work? Are they on the tenure track and do they now have tenure? How transparent and helpful is their local ethics board? Do they live in a community and/or country where public science education is valued and where publics are engaged in science? How politically engaged is their discipline? And does the struc- ture of their work enable them to resist informal constraints?
