As research for these lessons I have been reading ‘The Communist Manifesto’ by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Reading this has widened my view on inequality in society especially between the classes and my view has changed from what it originally was, not that I am saying I now have Marxist views I just recognise that there is more inequality…

I thought I’d attempt to briefly summarize what we’ve read and discussed, so far. Marx’s Project and Context Marx was essentially trying to uncover the reason why society was the way it was. The 19th century was a time of tremendous political and social change. New technologies and forms of organization (the factory system) had significantly increased the productivity of manufacturing in all across Europe. Alongside this was the enclosure of common lands, which pushed peasants and craftspeople…

Marxism is an idea from German philosophers Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels. Marxism is a social system that people are classified as multiple individuals in a nation under capitalism, which are employers, working classes, and farmers.

Inequalities in the society are the ramification of the…

(Milanovic, 2011). In his paper he states that the division of the classes from poor to rich has long existed, and dates back to "Adam Smith," and "Francois Quesnay (Milanovic, 2011)." He also goes on to state that in his research of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, they both came to the conclusion that "people in all 'civilized' societies were divided into two large classes," that being the ones who owned the "means of production," and those who had to work for a living (Milanovic, 2011).…

Published in 1848, this dissemination of communist ideals, which called for the elimination of class struggle and an end to the exploitation of the working class, would become one of the most influential writings…

Socialism is a direct opposite to capitalism’s ideas of individuals developing to the best…
