The scholars upto the nineteenth century believed that the Aryan Way is the first civilizing force of humanity. Politicians carried this weapon most happily to satisfy their greed Supposed and arrogance. The discovery of the Science of ComSupremacy of Aryan Way parative Philology added fuel to this fire. It provided vague arrogance the scientific basis. The revolutionary discoveries of Darwin in the field of Biology, tracing the gradual developmental history of man, gave it much weight. From jelly fish grew the invertebrate, from invertebrate the fish, then amphibian, then reptile from whom the bird and the mammal grew. Mammal developed into ape and the ape into man. This gradual developmental theory was extended by Morgan in the fields of social sciences. Morgan maintained that though the Aryan fore-fathers travelled through all the stages of savagery and barbarism like other people but they were the first people who civilised the world. The world was savage and barbaric through the long course of history till the era of civilization was ushered in the world Circa 1000 B. C. by the Aryan people. Marx extended this progressive developmental theory in the field of political economy. Marx and Engels based their theories of family, private property and the State on the discoveries of Morgan in the field of social sciences. Communism, as founded by Marx and Engels, believes that the humanity lived in a state of Primitive Communism since the hoary past to the establishment of the Age of Feudalism in the first millenium B. C. Feudalism gradually, through the force of inherent contradictions, developed into Capitalism. Imperialism is the highest stage of Capitalism, Fascism is capitalist reaction. Capitalism developed into communism which is the highest stage of Materialism. The establishment of the new society of capitalism after feudalism and the new society of communism after capitalism is not an evolutionary process but a revolutionary one. There is complete break from the old society though the newer society inherits some healthy ingredients of the former. But the humanity advances all the same. All these discoveries flow in the wake of the Aryan culture and this progress in civilization and culture of humanity is brought by the Aryan man and Aryan Way. Communism decries the Aryan as a race but not as a Way.
