sector of the economy, averaged across all spheres of the economy. Capital inherently generates an annual surplus, which in turn influences the level of variable capital employed. The surplus produced by capital is divided into revenue for the capitalist or reinvested in production. This reallocation of surplus ultimately determines the degree of accumulation (if more capital is reinvested, and less kept as revenue for consumption, then accumulation will be higher). It also has an effect on wages

although social change is inevitable in the eyes of Marx, it is at the same time not the only thing happening. Rather, Marx is hinting that there is an underlying theme that constantly remains the same. Simply put, this is the conflict between the capitalist and the worker, leading to the next issue to be covered in this paper. Going back to the collapsing of the Rana Plaza, Prashad reveals that there appears to be a trend of factory buildings collapsing in the twenty-first century, specifically "poorly

alienation forms are the result of living in a capitalist society. As well known, capitalists own the means of production and seek to maximize benefits. They reduce workers to mechanistic parts, not persons and pay them wages rather than the things or the value of the goods and services, which are produced with their labor. As a result, workers are unable to determine the purpose of their actions and directed to activities that are dictated by the capitalists, and finally lose the chance to be an autonomous

discernments formed in Karl Marx’s Capital is that in the colonies of capitalist nation-states the apparitions of the law of the supply and demand of labor are crushed. In the home country, the magnificent allurement of capitalist production can be found in its capability to reproduce the wage laborer by regularly setting him or her free, — firing him or her — and by creating a surplus population that rests in approximate exteriority to capitalist manufacturing as the prerequisite for the commodification of

Womb: A Marxist Analysis of Surrogate Motherhood In the context of classical Marxism, the moral permissibility of surrogate motherhood is forcefully negated. Marxism condemns the practice of surrogacy as an exemplification of commodity fetishism in capitalist society, viewing surrogacy arrangements as a commercialization of the female womb.

However Lublinskaya points out that the continual exploitation of the peasantry eventually forces them to resort to the sale of their labor power making them a cash consumer.

In his paper, General Crisis of the Seventeenth Century, he attacks

contemporary global capitalist model. As a Marxist geographer and anthropologist, Harvey analyzes modern capitalism through a lens of skepticism that results in a scathing renunciation of the capitalist goals of perpetual accumulation and creative destruction. Harvey argues that in a world constrained by scarce resources and burgeoning social barriers, the capitalist process produces a strange dynamic that oscillates between periods of crisis and boom (40). In the end the capitalist may be able to hedge

Marxist socialism is nothing in common . " [ 6 ] He also believes that " egalitarianism in terms of needs and personal life is a reactionary petty-bourgeois fallacy , " to point out that Russia can achieve equality : " One, after the overthrow of the capitalists and deprivation all workers are equally exploited and get rid of liberation ; Second, the outcome of the whole
