Karl Marx and the Communist
English 4
Karl Marx and the Communist Communism. First known as Marxism, later changed the name to Communism due to the practices, that were just performed like Communism. Communism is a political theory obtained and formed in 1844 by Karl Marx, supporting class war and leading to a society in which all property is publicly owned and operated, and also each person is paid according to their abilities and needs. Karl Marx had a desire for this group. He believed that there was a different political theory than just the ones that were around, a different way of looking at our economy and its problems. Karl Marx was a man, born May 5th, 1818 in Trier, Germany. His mother and father were Jewish. …show more content…
It took off quickly. After a while and grew up with many members. When these people grew communism, Capitalist began to fight with the communist. They started to try and get this group to not be there anymore. After Marx saw this he began his 8 book series on Capitalism and Communism. In his book: Theories of Surplus Value he writes about 5 main points. His first main one was about how: Modern work is alienated. He explains how today’s work isn’t the same as it used to be. He says that work can be joyful as long as the worker sees themselves doing that work and also see themselves in their final production. If a worker finds joy in his work, he will hard and the production will be perfect. So basically the way we work shows in our workings. A chair, for example, if a chair is made good and sturdy the maker had joy making it because it will show. But if that chair isn’t sturdy and it’s ragged, the worker doesn’t see himself in that product. Most modern work these days are computerized, so if a person sits behind a computer all day, what joy are you going to receive by typing all day? Which brings it to the next point by Marx; Modern work is insecure. With today’s work being in the computer you can make 20 copies …show more content…
He knew that maybe there was a place in the world for workers to be, not just computers. Our economy is so productive, that we often get caught in money, that we don’t take time to get a chance to take in what we have. Karl didn’t like the word “unemployment” he peered that word “freedom” because the person who is unemployed had a chance to take life but the reins and not worry about the responsibilities of a job. Yet money comes in a certain way. Marx saw this wakeup call of freedom as a chance and dream, to him it was almost as good as God’s gift of heaven. His fifth point was: Capitalism is bad for capitalist. Marx didn’t think the Capitalist were evil but he knew that there was secrets and lies that they were covering up. Marx also believed that Marriage was a business affair. Money, money, money. In those days they would marry into a rich family for the money. Inherits was big back then. Take the queen for example, when the queen dies that next one in line inherits all of the money and properties of the queen. Knowing that people are getting each other’s money
