I have to disagree with the theory of Marxism. We are not what we make. We as humans go beyond that idea. The human is capable of anything. And I mean anything. We have created the working class and the capitalist. We allow capitalist to treat working class with less respect and make more money then the working class. But have we ever stopped and wondered what the Capitalist would do without the working class? Struggle! Yes struggle, because we are and do what there money provides us to do. If we were treated equally and with equally I mean with respect and not looked down upon because of our hourly wage, then this world would be a better place. Capitalism wouldn’t be the way it is today, out of control and overwhelming. Marxist thinking claims that Capitalists and Workers are in a constant state of struggle, which is called Materialist Dialectic. But are they both in trouble. Doesn’t the capitalist pressure and lower the wages of the working class to make more profit? Marxism do says that in order for capitalists to make profit, and to double their profit, they have to lower the wages of workers as much as possible. And on the other hand working class has to struggle to keep their wages up if not try to make sure they don’t get a decrease in pay. This my friends is called class struggle. Sad but true and we still see this very notion continue till this very day.
