Karl Marx |
Father of communism
German scholar who wanted to replace utopian hopes and dreams with a militant blueprint for socialist working-class success
Basically, Marxists believe that governments should be used to prevent individuals from controlling and monopolizing economic prosperity. Because of this, Marxism is directly contradictory to capitalism, which supports a free market economy controlled by individual producers and consumers.In fact, Marxism was intentionally developed as an alternative to capitalism, which Marx and Engels saw as ruining Western society in the industrialized and unregulated world of child labor, income inequality, and monopolies that was the 19th century. It was a compelling idea, and one that reshaped the world.Karl Marx and Friedrich EngelsMarx and EngelsBasic GoalsWhile Marxism is a pretty complex ideology, we can boil its goals down to two basic ideas:1. Marxism aims to expose the contradictions of capitalism.Marx and Engels believed that capitalist ideologies were misleading, meant to keep workers submissive. For example, the free market was described as a democratic institution, one of the people, but is built to benefit individuals above the collective good.Basically, the workers spend their time and labor to produce goods, but the free market (not the workers) determines the value of their work. As a result, the workers are alienated from society because their labor is appropriated by the market, a process that also alienates the other social classes from the humanity of the workers.2. Marxism is meant to introduce a pathway for the creation of a communist society.A communist society is one in which the means of production are taken away from individuals and controlled by the collective (represented by the state). Communism is an alternative to the free market system, something with which Marx and Engels could replace capitalism. The two were not meant to coexist.ClassTo explore these ideas, Marxism is focused on the idea of social class, which it defines as a group of people categorized by their role in the economy, and specifically their relationship to the production of goods.In the capitalist society of the 19th century, Marx and Engels identified two primary social classes (each with minor divisions within it).At the top are the Bourgeoisie, the people who own the means of production. These are the business owners, factory managers, and other people who do not actually make anything but oversee those who do.The opposite class is the Proletariat, the workers who actually produce things.Marx and Engels felt that capitalism kept the proletariat oppressed by the bourgeoisieproletariatsClass is the most important unit of human society to Marxism, and so all of human history can be explained through the struggle between social classes. Marx specifically identified five eras in human history.The Five ErasFirst was the era of ''primitive communism'', when the first human societies shared and benefited equally from the products of everyone's labor. Next came the ''Ancient Epoch'', where slavery was introduced and economies were split between the exploited slave who worked and the owners who did not.That eventually turned into a ''Feudal Society'', where the peasantry worked, but all the benefits of their labor went to the landowning aristocracy and nobility. That relationship evolved into a ''Capitalist Society'', where technological changes let the bourgeoisie exploit the proletariat.However, since the bourgeoisie do not actually own or control the proletariat the way masters owned slaves or nobles controlled peasants, capitalism allowed for the creation of greater freedom and the expansion of political rights. |
