varneshia Hart The founder of communism is Karl Marx. Karl Marx believed there shouldn’t be upper or lower classes. In the passage it states “once everyone owned all things in common, class distinction would be erased”, since the beginning came to an end. This explains Marx‘s belief in posing a domestic threat through The Cold War and the era of McCarthyism and The Red Score. This was a hard but confusing time for many including Karl Marx. Cold war debated that they had high evidence about the…

The Communist Manifesto was published by Karl Marx and Fredrick Engels in 1848, a year of violent revolts throughout Europe. He writes during a time of nationalist uprising. Karl Marx states the main driver of history is class struggle. These struggles start from early ages, “From the serfs of the Middle Ages sprang the chartered burghers of the earliest towns. From these burgesses the first elements of the bourgeoisie were developed” (Manifesto part 1). Human history is history because of…

Communism by its very nature sits on the very opposite side of the spectrum as compared to capitalism. It is often thought that capitalism favors the people who actually own a certain business but at the same time create unfair working conditions for the people who actually work inside of the business. It’s as if the wealthy are getting that way on the backs of the laborers in a capitalistic society. This association is important to keep in mind as we begin to discuss the symbolism and power…

In the attached image we see what seems like an ordinary industrial setting, with industrial workers and an overseer. While one can take no care into analyzing the image, there are a diversity of perspectives, but Adam Smith, Charles Dickens, and Karl Marx can provide the strongest ideas. The ideas of human labor, progress, and happiness are strong concepts in the writings of all three men, and within their scriptures they often contradict each other’s ideas. In discussion of human labor, the…

Adam Smith was a Scottish moral philosopher and an innovator of political economy and contemporary capitalist economic system, who lived during the early 18th century. Many of Smith’s ideas and theories are still used in modern economics, several including the effect of self-interest, self-love and selfishness affected. Because Smith’s theories and ideas were the most methodical and comprehensive study of economics up until that time, his economic thinking became the foundation for classical…

The communism and capitalism clash polarized the world during the cold war. Since in the end a capitalist country won we were taught that the theory of communism is wrong and inferior to that of capitalism. The question that should be asked is whether a country’s economy would excel better while controlled through communism, in contrast to the free economy through capitalism. To decide which of these extreme socioeconomic theories meets the needs of its citizens one must look at the differences…

“Society does not consist of individuals but expresses the sum of interrelations, the relations within which these individuals stand,” said Karl Marx. In the story “The Great Gatsby”, Marxism is shown along with the setting and characters of the book. Marxism is the theory of struggle between classes in a society. Each set area has a resemblance to Marxism and they show example of the social classes and how they are each divided and each struggled. “The Great Gatsby” is an excellent…

The source of alienation and discontent has been argued by may people, two major people being Sigmund Freud and Karl Marx. Marx believed that the source of man’s alienation came from society, specifically the economy/state, but Freud argued that discontentment came from a more personal place, on more of a physiological level. Marx’s solution was to abolish private property, eliminating peoples’ feelings of not seeing their work pay off. Freud’s method to get rid of discontentment was for people…

Modern society’s most incredible feats and most gruesome cessations of social justice have come as we, the people, strive for an ideal life for ourselves and those closest to us. Sir Thomas More, through Utopia, and Friedrich Engels, through The Condition of the Working Class in England, give us firsthand perspectives into the inception and development of the capitalist society we know today. Our graduation from communal property to private property has torn through the Cottage Industry, the…
