Karl Marx

Karl Marx’s ideal society was one in which all of the people were equal. The proletariats (the workers in society) and the bourgeoisie (the owners) would no longer be the workers and owners, because there would be no owners, and everyone would work for themselves. With this theory the people would form a society based on equality. Marx wanted to get rid of the capitalist society all together and to do this people must start back at square one and redevelop the society as a whole. Marx wanted the new society to be based upon common ownership of productive resources. Marx believed that the capitalist society was a form of domination over people. This domination produces inequality; which Marx did not agree with. He desired an equal society where everyone was given the opportunity to develop themselves individually and freely and where there was no class domination. Marxist ideas rest upon a materialistic understanding about society. Marxist ideas say that the social and technological organization on production and the way production is managed is the main way to shape a society. Different societies have different modes of production. Marx believed that in the beginning people lived together in a way of primitive communism. Primitive communism means that the people lived based on their primary instincts, and they worked together. The people in the beginning hunted animals for food, and used the recourses and materials that nature provided them to live their lives.
