by his father never to talk about her. It was a terrible burden to Morrie.

• As they are presented in the introductory essay, do you think Marx’s works are intended to be theoretical interpretations of communism, or was Karl Marx primarily focused on, and an expert in, the workings of capitalism?

Even though Marx lived in poverty for most of his life and was not treated well by many of the governments in the world, he was an important person in history. He contributed to much of the sociological and economic world, and one of those contributions was the creation of Marxism. He spent a lot of time creating Marxism, which proved to be a worldwide view that would

Karl Marx was a German philosopher in 1818 through 1883 and he lived during the Industrial Revolution. The Industrial Revolution was the creation of modern society and the creation of machines where Marx gets his new ideas and beliefs. Marx philosophy was about class struggled and how we progress throughout history of a group conflicted with another group. Marx believed that time drags us to a higher level after every conflicted we had in history also known as a transformed society over time of history, system, and existence. Marx myths of Primate Accumulation are that people’s ancestors were lazy and capitalism starts with violence of one class against another.

The text of Marx was hard to read, but it was also really interesting. In its text Marx implied many ideas that he developed later in his other texts, such as the concept of false consciousness or the superstructure and the infrastructure and the relation between the two. The two are so different in their way of working, but at the same time really alike because they both have the same goal. Which come back to the general idea of contradiction and to the dialectic. According with Marx’s ideas even if there are differences between two people or two social classes there is also a similarity they all work to transform things and to survive. Their understanding of surviving may be different and vary according their ownership of the means of production,

Karl Marx, an extremist, with most of his ideas, but intelligent and very intuitive toward our future. Marx believed there were 2 groups of persons, those who were the wealthy, or the bourgeoisie and the proletariat who were the lower class or those who worked for the bourgeoisie. He saw what was happening during the industrial revolution and could deduce a great sketch of society. Those who didn’t hold a job he called, “lumpen proletariat,” in which those were the slums, or as our book calls them parasites (Siegel, 268). Together, they made the society that existed during that time period.

Marx points to class struggle as a main point in his argument. In a faceoff between the haves and the have nots. Those that produce goods and those that do not but own the capital that production is derived from. In this system moving up is almost impossible to do while losing wealth and status is very easy to do. He views the system very one sided where wealth is accumulated and passed from generation to generation and almost impossible to penetrate the upper class because those that work barely survive. The bourgeoisie are forced to continue mass production to fuel mass profits at any cost even at the expense of their own workers. Only caring enough to ensure bare minimal survival. Maintaining status and wealth is at the utmost importance.

In this time, Marx see a new way of life that has a hand in everyone’s life. Marx propose history and the future are on a timeline of stage. In these stages, society has a different economic statis. It start with the tribal way where people share their products. Then, society moves onto the slave. In this society, everything is made on the backs of the slaves and they never get to see any of the income. Next, society when into the feudal system where the peasants who the land in return for a place to live. Finally, society arrived to the time period that Marx was writing his pamphlet from, the capitalist. In this time, the labors worked for the bourgeois to make a product that the bourgeois would benefit from the labor’s work.
