Libertarian socialism

Karl Marx was a harsh critic of capitalism. He claimed that capitalism sowed the seeds for its own destruction. Marx saw capitalism at its worst, when there was an urban explosion and large migration of people to cities after machines began to mass produce, starting modern industry. However, his belief was that people have more freedom, but acknowledged that history was driven by class struggle. The class struggle he focused on in his book, Capital (Volume I), was the class struggle driven by…

Poverty is a condition where people lack of money, material, or even don’t have anything to be used for living cost. Every country must have a number of poverty with a few or a lot of amounts.

It has been said by social critics that a society based on class differences, on differences in wealth and power among people and groups is destructive of basic human values. The theme of money and work is that money and power have more value than the actual act of work. It does not matter how much one works but how much power they truly have because of money.

Originated during the late 19th and early 20th century, neoliberalism has witnessed a worldwide adoption, and became a dominant economic policy during the 1970s and 1980s. The major tenets of neoliberalism are “laissez faire”, free market economy, and “minimal state”, minimal governmental intervention (Hartwick & Peet, 2009). Leading figures of this economic philosophy, Ludwig von Mises (188-1973), Friedrich von Hayek (1899-1992) and Milton Friedman (1912-2006), believed in the power of free…

"It's going to be a perfect 'dating movie,'" says Michael Moore, director of Capitalism: A Love Story. "It tells the story of desire, passion, love, and 14,000 jobs that disappear every day, a forbidden Love, a story I dare not name, I call it capitalism. "Moore told us that it was love for American democracy, a story about awakening. The story of love begins to always be sweet. Americans always want an American dream, a democratic, equal society and what do they get? Americans are falling out…

firmly clung to the possibility that free enterprise prompts to ravenousness and disparity. Intrinsic to the possibility of rivalry is insatiability, opined Karl Marx, which would bring about inborn flimsiness and treachery in a general public. Socialism offered the best model – both political and financial – with its collectivist possession, creation and focal arranging highlights proposed to circulate riches fairly and dispense with the qualifications between…

The European Industrial Revolution was a time of drastic change. In England it became a transformation from hand tools and handmade items to machined and mass-produced goods. The growth of factories replaced the cottage industries and spawned the development of cities. Growing cities and factories led to changes in transportation, labor, and working conditions. These changes generally helped workers lives, even though initially there were more negatives than positives. Before the…

2016 United States presidential election approaching, an abundance of people are considering the various political and economic theories that each candidate seems to uphold. For example, Bernie Sanders is a widely-known candidate who advocates for socialism, a theory based on equality of opportunity. He has brought back a theory most politicians have thrown to the wayside, and it has even been considered a ‘dead’ theory. The voting population is looking at these seemingly new political ideas,…
