Karl Marx

After reading about Marx's background and what circumstances he grew up under it was easy to see why he stood by the views he did. Since he grew up in the middle of the british industrial revolution class struggle and inequality was a part of his everyday life and shaped his political opinions accordingly. His idea of the oppressor and the oppressed is directly related to his early years and the difficulties he had to watch and face while growing up. He felt that capitalism was not effective because private property, competition and class structure did no allow the proper distribution of economics to the workers as well as the owners. Which is why in his model it is an extremely evenly distributed society with everyone doing there own part. His philosophy is, in my opinion, a much better system then reality and although it did not flourish i think that it is a possible society to obtain. In the end it would create a much more equal world that benefits ALL of us, even if the lucky like us must downgrade.
