Class struggle is very visible in today 's life. There are people living on the streets and people living in homeless shelters do to drugs and alcohol. Drugs are the reason why people stay in the class they are in because it becomes an addiction and it makes them use less of their brain which causes them not to learn and stay the same. Their brains begin to be useless due to the brain not functioning correctly because of the drugs. Soma is used in Brave New World to keep everyone at the same…

The theory of communism has had a very influential impact since the 18th century. Fundamentally, communism is a system of social organization where property, resources, and means of production are all owned by a classless society not by individual citizens.

This is an important concept to acknowledge when attempting to understand the role of power in both Marxism and Anarchism. We must acknowledge each theories different idea of power distributions between individuals and authorities. Despite Marxist and Anarchist similarities they differ in ideas of the role of ‘the state’ and they conceptualize the use of power structures…

Karl Marx is perhaps one of the most important philosophers of recent history. Though perhaps most famous for inspiring Communism with his Communist Manifesto co-authored with Karl Marx, his entire theory of class struggle and the role of the proletariat and the bourgeois is very influential to this day. Writing in eastern Europe in the mid to late 1800’s, Marx inspired many of the writers of the day, which had a large role in thought, leading up to the eventual Communist Revolution in Russia in…

This is intended to make people rethink their current political standpoint and reconsider the labour party for power. In contrast to this, is the Inspector who is clearly a socialist. The Inspector reminds us of our responsibilities for each other: 'All intertwined with our lives, and what we think and say and do. We don't live alone. We are members of one body. We are…

The notion of maintaining a certain image is developed further by Priestly when we see Mrs Birling's embarrassment when her husband complements the cook, 'Arthur, you're not supposed to say such things-’ Her life is governed by her notion of correctness – as soon as someone behaves in a way which does not live up to their social expectations in society – she reprimands them. This expresses her narrow-mindedness as there is no flexibility here to step out of this stereotype – Priestly does this…
