ABSTRACT
The theorem flows naturally out of the law of similarity, which can likewise be observed throughout the organic world. Finally, even the ontogenetic development of organisms proceeds according to one common plan, creating all the forms of phylogenetic development. In social life, this law of similarity can be observed in various facets of collective activity. Doubtlessly, the reason for this resemblance was the common conformity to laws of social phenomena by both revolutions; however, the fact that imitation played a role here shows the similarity even between the purely external forms of certain social phenomena. Some symbols doubtlessly owe their existence to metaphorical assimilation, based on similarity and imitation. Here, too, the law of similarity is at work. Upon the unification of people, the associative activity of separate individuals has to manifest itself in correspondence with everyone else's and consequently, when it finds itself under new conditions, must regain resemblance to fellow members of the new association.
