Post 6

Marx was a strong believer in communism. He believed that people should not be separated into different classes. Capitalism is the exact idea that Marx did not believe in. Capitalism is communism’s opposite. In the "Communist Manifesto", Marx describes the working conditions and the way that people of the working class are being de-humanized. He argues this by showing that due to the technology and the works that they must do make them nothing more than labor. They are not looked at as humans, but rather, machines. This is an ethical issue that is present in the capitalist society. Marx believed that capitalism grew made advancements in technology well before they were ready to make laws on regulations for this new technology. By creating new technology without laws, the society is hurt. Marx believes that a society should run on communist beliefs. He bases this on the idea people should not be divided into a working class and an upper class because the labor force becomes purely that; labor. Marx’s ideal society would be one that involves communism and equalizing everyone, rather than the capitalist way of running a society.
