Marx, although, believed the forces of production disenfranchised man from his ability to see nature in its grandeur. That is, nature in its beauty, has already existed in such form outside man's idealism and it is man's productive essence to work with the material around him that in turn recognised that beauty. Man`s natural work is warped by the unnatural forms of capitalist labour: the “superfluously coarse labours of life [make it so] its finer fruits cannot be plucked by them” (Thoreau, “Economy,” 2). Man’s drive is directed towards the desire of capital in “commerce” and “industry” (Marx, “Manifesto,” 210) which repurposes the labouring conscience of man’s “essence” (Ibid., “German Ideology,” 182) to the working “appendage of the machine” (Ibid., “Manifesto,”…
Marx believed that all humans were radical and that this directly influenced their organization of government. Similarly, to Locke, Marx classified society into two groups; The Bourgeois and The Proletarians. Marx believed that a ruling class was inevitable, “we find almost everywhere a complicated arrangement of society into various orders, a manifold of gradation of social ranks,” (Marx 9). All though, Marx sees no way to exist without social ranks, he also believes that in this case the bourgeois will join the proletarians in living a good life, “a portion of the bourgeoisie goes over to the proletariat, and in particular, a portion of the bourgeoisie ideologists,” (Marx…
Before expounding upon these ideas, it is necessary to establish a baseline from which to view these topics. It is important to realize that we as humans view everything from our own cultural perspective. Marx speaks of this saying, "Your very ideas are but the outgrowth of the conditions of your bourgeois production and bourgeois property, just as your jurisprudence is but the will of your class made into a law for all, a will, whose essential character and direction are determined by the economical conditions of existence of your class."…
Marx developed the idea of Marxism (a conflict theory between Upper and Lower social classes) in the 18th Century, when social classes were very clearly defined- the ‘Bourgeois’ and the ‘Proletariat’. For this very reason, what is known as ‘Traditional Marxism’ is now quite evidently outdated, mainly due to the emergence of the ‘Middle Class’ throughout the 20th Century and the ‘Digital Revolution’ also in the late 20th and 21st Century, which has blurred the lines between the different social classes, particularly the ‘Digital Revolution’ which has seen the birth of the Post-Modernist theory of Pick ’n’ Mix Identity, in effect allowing people to ‘choose’ their ‘Class’. Due to these reasons, Marxism has developed and produced more relevant theories.…

He held the radical antithesis view on social inequality. This view holds that equality is the natural order of society and inequality is a problem that must be fixed. Marx believed that society’s struggle was primarily due to class conflict. He said that the basis of modern society revolved around its mode of production which consisted of two parts; means of production (technology) and social relations of products (parts that people play in relation to products) (Sernau 15). The means…
In 1848 a 23-page pamphlet entitled “Manifesto of the Communist Party” was printed in London and quickly spread across Europe. Written by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels, the short work, now known as “The Communist Manifesto”, was an attempt to explain the goals of communism. It details the volatile nature of a capitalistic society and the struggles of social classes and capitalist modes of…

Radical criminologists argue that capitalism is an economy system that requires people to compete against each other in the individualistic pursuit of material wealth. In this theory people are classified in two groups; “ruling class” wich are those who have power by virtue of the ownership of material wealth and “working class or nonworking class” wich are those who struggle to survive on the society.…
In Marx’s Communist Manifesto, capitalist societies are discussed at length. An important thing that is noted is that capitalist societies experience a new sense of time. Six characteristics are described as to why capitalistic societies are in a state of “radical transformation”.…
Radical Theory derives its views from Marxist Theory. It is therefore sometimes referred to as Marxism, Socialism or Socialists internationalism. Radicals believe that the state is nothing more than a machine for the oppression of one class by another.…
Every society has an ideology at the base of its structure from which general public opinion and assumptions are formed. This common and prevailing dominant ideology is usually invisible to most people within the society who unknowingly adhere to it. As this core ideology goes largely unnoticed it appears neutral and conventional, and so often goes unchallenged. Alternative ideologies and opinions that stray from the dominant norm stand out boldly against such a neutral invisible background of conformity, and so are seen as radical. (BREINER…
THE HISTORICAL ROOTS OF LENINISM ¶1 THE foundations of Leninism is a big subject. To exhaust it a whole volume would be required. Indeed, a number of volumes would be required. Naturally, therefore, my lectures cannot be an exhaustive exposition of Leninism; at best they can only offer a concise synopsis of the foundations of Leninism. Nevertheless, I consider it useful to give this synopsis, in order to lay down some basic points of departure necessary for the successful study of Leninism. ¶2 Expounding the foundations of Leninism still does not mean expounding the basis of Lenin's world outlook. Lenin's world outlook and the foundations of Leninism are not identical in scope. Lenin was a Marxist, and Marxism is, of course, the basis of his world outlook. But from this it does not at all follow that an exposition of Leninism ought to begin with an exposition of the foundations of Marxism. To expound Leninism means to expound the distinctive and new in the works of Lenin that Lenin contributed to the general treasury of Marxism and that is naturally connected with his name. Only in this sense will I speak in my lectures of the foundations of Leninism. ¶3 And so, what is Leninism? ¶4 Some say that Leninism is the application of Marxism to the conditions that are peculiar to the situation in Russia. ¶5 This definition contains a particle of truth, but not the whole truth by any means. Lenin, indeed, applied Marxism to Russian conditions, and applied it in a masterly way. But if Leninism were only the application of Marxism to the conditions that are peculiar to Russia it would be a purely national and only a national, a purely Russian and only a Russian, phenomenon. We know, however, that Leninism is not merely a Russian, but an international phenomenon rooted in the whole of international development. That is why I think this definition suffers from one-sidedness. ¶6 Others say that Leninism is the revival of the…
The main problem with capitalism for Marx was that he saw ‘us’ as a society, separated within this capitalistic society, that there was a gap between ‘human essence’ and human existence, meaning what we are as human beings and how we are living in today’s society. Marx describes the ‘human essence’ to be social, creative, and productive (Marx, 43). His argument is that we’re not living as stated by this idea of ‘human essence’; therefore we are alienated in society.…
