Marx and Society
Marx's thoughts on labour were related to the primacy he gave to the economic relation in determining the society's past, present and future, society is influenced when the working class and the ruling class does not met with required specifications, both are interrelated to each other in a way that one cannot survive without the other, still the profit made by the ruling class is lot more than the working class as the ruling class are feeding from the wages of working people. For Marx, social change was about conflict between opposing interests, driven in the background by economic forces. This became the inspiration for the body of works known as the conflict theory. Despite Marx's stress on critique of capitalism and discussion of the new communist society that should replace it, his explicit critique is guarded, as he saw it as an improved society compared to the past ones (slavery and feudalism). Marx never clearly discusses issues of morality and justice, but scholars agree that his work contained implicit discussion of those concepts. Marx stressed that capitalism was unstable and prone to periodic crises. He suggested that over time capitalists would invest more and more in new technologies and less and less in labour, Since Marx believed that profit derived from surplus value appropriated from labour, he concluded that the rate of profit would fall as the economy grows Marx believed that increasingly severe crises would punctuate this cycle of growth and collapse.
“Communism is for us not a state of affairs which is to be established, an ideal to which reality will have to adjust itself. We call communism the real movement which abolishes the present state of things. The conditions of this movement result from the premises now in existence.”
