Paper Summary:

The writer of this paper examines the impact of a Marxist philosophy on art and culture as well as the consequences of a society free of class struggles. This paper discusses society's need for different classes to push the economy into a productive system by arguing that if everyone were on equal footing there would be no future Picasso, Warhol or Einstein.

From the Paper:

"Ralph Ellison puts it best when he says, "We are all realists and materialists. It is a question of who shall determine the direction of events."2 In this instance Ellison is pointing out that
due to being a realist and materialist we cannot govern ourselves but must be shown the way. This is one example of the negative role that capitalists serve as they help to shape the ethics and moral of the working class. The workers are encouraged, in a capitalist market, to believe that material goods are necessary. In other words the more an individual posses the better off and happier he is."
