Karl Marx

The social teachings of the church condemn communism because it goes against the principles of private property, individual freedoms, and the dignity of the human person. The church believes that communism undermines human rights and leads to the suppression of religious freedom and autonomy.

No, Marx anticipated that Germany or England would become the first socialist countries because they were the most industrialized of the capitalist countries. Because of that they had the most developed proletariat. Marx believed the workers revolution required that intense capitalist phase in order to crystallize the differences between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. In Russia, that hadn't happened yet, so Marx did not see communism taking root in Russia yet. In fact, he thought Russia was totally unsuitable at the time.

The both agreed that social justice and oppression can never happen only if the person that is to be oppressed is educated or conditioned to think a certain way. For example, Freire argued that teachers sometimes act as oppressors by teaching students to memorize facts, and not really explaining the relevance of such lessons. This oppresses students, since many start thinking a certain way just because the teacher said so. If students are taught to think for themselves since their young, they will have a better chance at being able to live independednt without relying so much on others. Karl Marx, argued the same thing but he said it a little different. He said that being and living, helps you start thinking and making up your mind.

Yes, they are one and the same work. "The Manifesto of the Communist Party" is the same work as "The Communist Manifesto." It simply is the full title of the work translated from the original German "Manifest der Communistischen Partei."

According to Engels, Karl Marx was smarter. According to Marx, Karl Marx was smarter. Marx thought he was smarter than everyone else. He even referred to some of his supporters as "useful idiots."

Engels always gave Marx the lion's share of the credit for their philosophical writings. Marx's life work, "Capital", the theoretical foundation of his philosophy was written by him only with some editing help by Engels. "The Communist Manifesto" was written by both of them but it was only a short pamphlet.

This viewpoint is a key tenet of Marxist ideology, which argues for the working class (proletariat) to overthrow the capitalist system controlled by the bourgeoisie. According to Marx, this revolution would lead to a classless society where the means of production are owned collectively. However, whether or not this overthrow is necessary or achievable is a subject of ongoing debate and interpretation.

Talcott Parsons is often associated with modernization theory, which posits that societies progress from traditional to modern forms through industrialization and economic development.

No, Marx did not believe in heaven. Marx was a dedicated atheist. Since he did not believe God existed, God's reward for good behavior did not exist.

Marx's famous criticism of religion is that it is "the opium of the people." He felt that God's existence could not be proved scientifically; therefore it was idiocy to believe in religion. Religion, so he believed, was a tool imposed upon the people by the upper class in order to manipulate and control them. The vast majority of people, according to Marx, were uneducated and superstitious. Religion gave them some a basis for a belief that life has some kind of purpose and that one could get to heaven by being well behaved. The common person could not see through the logic that religion was false, because religion was administered by charlatans and mystics whom the people trusted without question.

Since the existence of God could not be proven scientifically, he did not believe God existed. Since God did not exist, heaven, as God's reward for good behavior, did not exist either.

Karl Marx argued that social, economic, and political inequalities are dependent on the exploitation of the working class by the capitalist class. He believed that this class struggle is at the core of society and that it shapes the structure of power and the distribution of resources. Marx viewed capitalism as inherently creating and perpetuating these inequalities.

Marx went to France because his newspaper editorials and other writings were radically revolutionary. The repressive Prussian police and government felt he was being disruptive and wanted to stop him from continuing to stir up trouble. Marx knew eventually the government would find some way to arrest and imprison him for being subversive so he left the country and went to France.

Because he did not see Russian Capitalism as sufficiently mature compared to the European Capitalism.

It was not until 1861 that Russia abolished serfdom, which formalized its move from Feudalism to Capitalism.

Marx, who first published Das Kapital in 1867, saw Russian politico-economic system as a hybrid between Feudalism and Capitalism. He believed in a natural progression of political systems from Feudalism to Capitalism to Communism, with Capitalism being more progressive that Feudalism, and Communism more progressive than Capitalism. Each system, according to Marx, was intended to resolve the conflicts of the previous system, mature, run its course, create its own conflicts, which, when they came to a breaking point, would result in the next system change.

He saw the class conflicts in Germany and England as more pronounced and promising than those in Russia. If the proletariat (working class) was the engine of the next revolution, he figured, how could the Russian nascent proletariat be ready for it?

Of course, Russian revolution was anything but Marxist.

You can create a manifesto by first determining your beliefs and values, and then writing them down in a clear and impactful way. Manifestos are typically concise, powerful statements that outline your core principles and vision. You can use them to communicate your message, inspire others, and promote change.

class struggle and economic inequality. Marx's ideas about the inherent conflict between social classes and the exploitation of the working class by the bourgeoisie have influenced many literary works that explore themes of oppression, inequality, and revolution.

Frederick Engels proposed that patriarchy developed in conjunction with the emergence of private property and the division of labor within societies. He argued that the subjugation of women was intertwined with the rise of social classes and the economic power that came with it.

Marx had been pressured to leave his native Germany, but was not expelled from it. He went to Paris, France but was expelled. He went to Brussels, and was expelled from there as well. France invited him to come back to France. He did but France again expelled him and he went to England, spending the rest of of his days in London.

Marx's main categorization was that people are either part of the class of bourgeoisie or the proletariat. The bourgeoisie are those who control the means of production in society, which gives them the power to then control the proletariat. The proletariat consists of those who are common workers, who because they have no power to control the means of production are powerless to avoid being exploited and oppressed. Marx gave short shrift to the middle class, whom he called the petty bourgeoisie or small capitalists. In his model, most middle class aspired to be part of the Bourgeoisie rather than the Proletariat, therefore he had no use for the middle class.

alienation. Karl Marx believed that in a capitalist society, workers become alienated from themselves, their work, and their sense of purpose due to being treated as a commodity by the bourgeoisie. This leads to a sense of disconnection and lack of fulfillment in their lives.

Marx's ideas directly impacted society by influencing political movements, such as communism and socialism, which aimed to challenge capitalist systems and advocate for workers' rights. His critique of capitalism highlighted issues of inequality, exploitation, and alienation, sparking discussions and reforms in economic and social structures worldwide. Marx's works, like "The Communist Manifesto" and "Das Kapital," inspired revolutions, political ideologies, and social movements that aimed to create a more equitable and just society.

Communism is most closely associated with the former Soviet Union (now Russia) and China. Additionally, countries like Cuba, North Korea, and Vietnam have also adopted communist ideologies to varying extents.

Yes, Karl Marx believed in the redistribution of wealth as a core tenet of his political and economic philosophy. He argued for the redistribution of wealth to address economic inequality and advocated for the abolition of private property in order to create a more equitable society.

Bernard Marx was considered a misfit in "Brave New World" because he was shorter, had unconventional thoughts about society, and struggled to conform to the rigid social norms of the World State. His desire for individuality and his questioning of society's values made him an outsider among his peers.

A) Primitive communism

B) Slave societies

C) Feudalism

D) Capitalism

he predicted that each ruling class produces the class that will overthrow its own, so the capitalist society will be overthrown by the proletariat. This has been largely disagreed with......but take a look a society right now...Maybe Marx did have an idea...

E) Communism

The bourgeoisie are capitalists who are interested only in the personal accumulation of wealth at the expense of the ordinary worker. The bourgeoisie will keep exploiting the ordinary worker more and more to accumulate more and more wealth. This will create a larger class of workers and will create a larger and larger disparity in wealth between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. Eventually, the class of the proletariat will become so large and so dissatisfied with their lot in life that they will revolt against their masters and take away the means of production of the society. Marx felt this was an inevitable force of human nature and that this was the inherent contradiction in capitalism that would eventually cause its own destruction.
