justifiable revolt against the oppressive middle class. The.
conclusion of this revolt was envisioned to be a classless.
society, one in which its people benefit from and that.
benefits from its people. The overthrow of capitalism would.
create a socialist society eventually flourishing into.
communism. Karl Heinrich Marx (1818 - 1883) was the.
philosophical analysis who created communism and saw it.
as an achievable goal. Marx denounced religion and.
created what were thought to be radical ideas, which.
resulted in the banishment from his native land of Germany.
and then France, eventually ending up in England.
(Compton's Encyclopedia, 121) Through dialectical.
processing Marx was able to synthesize a theory of a.
classless society. This society would be achievable through.
the joint union of the proletarians and overthrow of the.
governing bourgeois. For the working-class man does not.
benefit from the labour which he provides. His labour is.
external to himself and is not actually belonging to his.
essential being. Therefore in work, the proletarian denies.
himself and does not validate his worthiness as an.
individual.(Marx from Haberman, 183) The worker has no.
existence except to work, which furthers the employer, but.
degrades the labourer and eventually results in a grasping.
individu! al. Marx realized that with the unification of the.
working-class, they would be able to better themselves and.
their lives, and in doing so, better society on the whole. The.
aspiration to achieve this was purely theoretical and though.
Marx felt attainable, it was undoubtably flawed. The.
communist ideals are purely a utopian dream which cannot.
be reached because of humans inescapable desire to satisfy.
their own egos. A proletarian society would not remain.
harmonious without individuals seeking personal.
satisfaction, and without a governing body chaos would.
result, paving a road which would lead to totalitarianism.
Marx's views were of the proletarian class rising to crush.
