Marxism

Paper Summary:

This paper gives an insight into Marx's ideas as expressed in the "Communist Manifesto." It argues that although Marx's idea of equality among people sounded desirable; in theory it was abused by the likes of Lenin and Stalin. The communist idea works against a person's natural desire to succeed. History has shown that most communist countries have failed to prosper economically. When the people have no personal investment in their labor, then their productivity steadily declines which eventually leads to complete degeneration of the economy.

From the Paper:

"In "The Communist Manifesto," Karl Marx addresses members of the bourgeoisie and proletariat classes. The latter he rallies to action while to the first he prophesies their inevitable fall from power. he begins by establishing the fact that society has always been arranged into varying systems of social order. Because of a rise in industry, a wealthy class he refers to as the bourgeoisie have come to dominate society. Since its ascent to power, it has completely destroyed the former social classes, who then lose their identity and become mere drones serving an unsympathetic system."
