He also said that if a species doesn’t adapt

Karl Marx and Charles Darwin were very cognizant of these day to day interactions‚ yet they produced two very different texts as they fleshed their ideas out; however‚ what remains a constant through both The Communist Manifesto and The Origin of Species is the notion of struggle. In looking at the way both thinkers contextualize “struggle‚” we are given the notion that struggle is not only inevitable‚ but that it is the result of exploitation.
