Structural Marxists can use the idea of a mode of production to show that economic

determination is important for social forms other than capitalism as well. First, By viewing the
dynamics and productive forces as two distinct social interactions involving three constituents—
workers, non-workers, and technology — Structural Marxists were able to disentangle the
economic functions of possession and productivity within a society12. Secondly, Structural
Marxist analysis can make a distinction among both economic and non-economic roles and
specific entities that are the heralds of those roles, allowing it to stipulate connections of tenacity
of invisible to process information purely to define entities and behavioral norms (the lineage,
the manor, and so on). Third, by identifying relations and their ordered interconnections,
Structural Marxists were fit to establish basic conceptions of well-defined factors of production
while honoring the inherent uniqueness of societies in a particular time and place. To sum up, the
idea of a mode of production postulates, in typical modernist manner, conceptual constructive
determinations as actual as the force of gravity but, like gravity, apparent in their effects only.
Not only does structural Marxism identify the insurmountable gap between knowledge (abstract
notions of reality) and its object (reality), but it also insists on the objective actuality of these
determinations.1
