POLITICAL THEORY – Karl Marx


The majority agree that we need to improve our economic system in some way
But we ignore the ideas of the most famous critics of the capitalist system: Karl Marx
It is not surprising.
In fact, his political and economic ideas were used to design catastrophic economic and tyrannical economic systems.
To design catastrophic economic and tyrannical economic systems.
Despite this, we should not reject Marx so quickly, we must see him as evidence,
In his analysis of the problems of capitalism, we will move towards a better future.
Capitalism will change, and Marx’s analysis will be part of any answer.
Marx was born in 1818 in Trier, Germany.
Early joined the Communist Party,
A group of pro-government intellectuals to overthrow the class system
And revocation of private property.
He worked as a schizophrenic and was forced to leave Germany, stable in London.
Marx wrote a huge number of books and articles, some with his friend Frederick Engels.
Marx wrote more about capitalism, the dominant system of the Western world.
Which in his lifetime was a continuous system. Marx was one of his brightest critics.
These are some of the problems that Marx defined as the capitalist system:
Modern work is “a cause of alienation”.
One of Marx’s greatest ideas is that work may be one of our greatest sources of happiness.
But in order to be accomplished at work, Marx wrote that workers had to see
Themselves in the things they made.
Think of making this chair straight, strong, reliable and stylish.
It is a clear example of the ability of work to give us an opportunity to extract the best of us.
But this is rare in the modern world.
Part of the problem is that modern work is very codified.
Make formalized functions of the modern economy very effective
But it means that it is rare for an individual worker to realize the true meaning of his participation in the service of humanity
Marx argued that modern work leads to:
Alienation.
Or, a sense of separation from what you do throughout the day
What you feel about yourself, and what you think you can do to exist.
Modern work is not safe.
Capitalism makes man a consumer currency.
Can dispense with any individual of the labor without mercy, the moment that
Where costs rise or technology is replaced by an alternative. As Marx wrote,
In our depths, we do not want to arbitrarily separate
We are afraid to leave.
Communism is not just an economic theory.
After understanding them emotionally, socialism expresses a long-term passion that we have a place
In the depths of the world, we will not be subjected to exile.
Little is paid to the workers while the capitalists become rich.
This may explain Marx’s doubts about capitalism.
In particular, I think that capitalism reduces workers’ wages as much as they can to get a high profit margin.
He called it: the initial accumulation
While capitalists see profit as a prize for creativity and technical progress,
Marx sees it as a curse. Profit is simply stealing and what you steal is the skills and dedication of your employees.
Whatever the concepts, Marx insisted that capitalism in its most extreme forms,
Means paying a certain amount to the worker to accomplish something and sell it for a lot more
Profit is the polite term to describe exploitation.
Capitalism is the antithesis of equilibrium.
Marx suggested that capitalist systems are characterized by a series of calamities
Each catastrophe is described by the capitalists as strange and rare and will be the last. Marx argued that,
The calamities of capitalism. It is the product of something strange.
Our ability to produce a lot, more than the individual needs.
The calamities of capitalism are afflictions of abundance. Contrary to what was previously, scarcity of deficiencies.
Our systems and factories are effective, anyone on the planet can get a car,
A home, a prestigious school, and a hospital.
This angered Marx and made him optimistic. Few of us need to work,
Because the modern economy is very productive.
Rather than seeing the need to act as freedom
We are chagrined by this defeatism and half are “unemployment”.
But we must call it freedom.
We have many unemployed people for admirable reasons:
Because we are good at making things effective. We are not all wanted for primitive work.
But in this case, as Marx believes, we should make our leisure time fruitful.
We must redistribute the wealth of big companies that make money and give it to everyone.
This, in turn, is a dream equal to Jesus’ promise of Paradise, but a more realistic promise
But it is a more realistic promise
5. Capitalism is bad for capitalists.
Marx did not think the capitalists were evil.
For example, Marx was familiar with the sorrows and tragedies of a bourgeois marriage.
Marx argued that marriage was an extension of trade
And that bourgeois families are full of tension, persecution and boredom.
And that not to seek divorce is not due to love, but for economic reasons.
Marx believed that capitalism forces everyone to put financial concerns to the core of their interest
So that they do not care about deep relationships.
This is called psychological tendencies
Desalination of the commodity
Because they make us appreciate things that do not have real value.
He wanted people to be free from financial constraints
So that they can make healthy and logical decisions in their relationships.
A feminist response in the 20th century to the persecution of women was provided
However, women should go to work. Marx’s answer was more subtle.
Women’s claims mimic human slavery.
The goal is not to imitate women in their suffering, but to have the option of enjoying leisure time.
Why do not we all think about them like Marx?
An important aspect of Marx ‘s ideas, in which the slander and ingenuity of the proposition is presented
The financial system colors the ideas we believe.
The economy generates what Marx calls an “ideology”
A majority of those in capitalist society, rich and poor, believe in things
Are only discretionary provisions that derive from the economic system.
For example, that the unemployed are worthless. And to leave several weeks a year is a sin.
And that the abundance of widgets will make us happy
And that people and things of interest will always make money.
In short, the biggest problems of capitalism are not the existence of corrupt people on its head,
– This exists in every hierarchical system –
But the ideas of capitalism taught us to be troubled, competitive, docile and politically persuasive.
Marx not only identified the disadvantages of capitalism
We can see what Marx wanted for the future utopian to be.
Describes in his book the statement of the Communist Party a world without private property or inherited wealth,
Rising income taxes, centralized control of banks, media,
Transport industries and free education
Marx also expected communism
That allows people to develop different parts of their characters:
“In communist society, it is possible for me to do something and do something tomorrow,
To practice fishing in the morning, to fish in the afternoon, to feed cattle in the evening,
I am criticized after dinner, because I have a mind, without being a fisherman, Smaka, a shepherd or a critic.
Marx received support from his friend and thinker Frederick Engels after moving to London,
A wealthy man owned his father’s cotton factory in Manchester.
Engels paid Dion Marx and was keen to publish his work.
Capitalism paid communism.
They even wrote poems to each other.
Marx was not a well-known or famous thinker of his time.
The people and people of interest in the era of Marx would laugh at the idea that his ideas would change the world.
But it did after several decades.
His writings became a cornerstone of the most important intellectual movements of the twentieth century.
But Marx was like a doctor in the early days of medicine.
He was able to diagnose the nature of the disease, but had no idea how to treat it.
At this point in history, we should be Marxist in acknowledging our problems.
But we need to find effective treatments for it.
As Marx himself stated, and we fully agree:
Philosophers have so far interpreted the world in different ways, but the goal is to change it.
