Marx


I had a very hard time reading this piece. At times I think I understood what it was saying, while at others I had no idea. However, I think this article was trying to support communism and give reasoning as for why it is something that should be allowed. If everything is the same for everyone then what is there to fight about? What is there to be envious about? If there is no "higher" class then everyone is able to live within society peacefully. While this is a good idea in theory, it can never work in reality. First, it says with the higher and lower classes one will try to over throw the other, but there will always be that higher class regardless of the type of government that the people live under. Secondly, while everyone has the same things and there is no competition for anything won't that hinder society’s progress in new inventions and technology? If there is no incentive how can we continue our progress?
