    However, Mill does not believe it is in the nature of people of backward society or in the nature of children to be free because these are the types of people who needs to be educated first before they have the opportunity and chance to be free or else it will be futile for them to improve and progress at this stage as humans. Marx on the other hand, believes that the Socialist revolution can only happen in industrialized country. It is not that the nature of the people in the country are of a better natures than others, but because the country themselves has the capital necessary to sustain the people. This is refuting Marx’s optimistic belief on human nature and his claim that people are inherently good to maintain and sustain a society through their moral and work ethics that they do not need the government’s help to maintain their communities. Marx probably view that by taking down the bourgeoisie and capitalists, the ruling class now will be the working class in which the society can still sustain itself because the government still can support the people through the capital the government has an the industries and commerce that are still producing goods to sell.…

In the abstract from Marx’s manuscript The Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right, he claims that “to abolish religion as the illusory happiness of the people is to demand their real happiness.” Marx believes that in order to find real self-happiness, people should not have to rely on religion, and that religion should be completely abolished. In his text, he focuses on the importance that humans should stop seeking happiness in a metaphysical world, and to find real happiness within themselves.
