Marx’s Understanding of class
Class is determined by peoples relationships to the means of
production (corresponds with materialist conception of history)
Leads to one class (which controls the means of production to exploit
the other)
Capitalist system
the proletariat is exploited (workers are hired for a period paid for time,
pay workers less
and make more money. The capitalist take more- build more means of
production) because workers sell their labour at a value less than the
value the worker creates. The capitalist are able to appropriate this
surplus value
Marx’s Utopian Vison
Marx saw the transition to socialism/ communism to an ideal,
classless and human-focused society (with a more advanced means
of production)
His utopia:
anyone be accomplished in any branch
Society regulates the general production (can do one thing today
and another tomorrow)

Marx had a complex view of capitalism (good pov)
Recognized its dynamic nature
