Capitalism, By Karl Marx

Most people agreed that an improvement to the economic system was needed somehow, yet was also often ardent to dismiss the ideas of capitalism's most famous and enthusiastic critic, Karl Marx. This isn't very surprising in practice his political and economic approaches have been used to design and plan economies that resulted in injurious dictatorships. Nevertheless, we shouldn't reject Marx too quickly; we ought to see him as a guide whose examination of capitalism's errors helps us to navigate towards a more promising future. Capitalism is going to have to be improved, and Marx's analyses are going to be part of his answer. Marks was born in 1818 in Trier in German; soon he became associated with the Communist Party, a small group of philosophers

Every crisis is dressed up by capitalists as being somehow abnormal and rare and soon to be the last one; far from it argued Marx, crises are endemic to capitalism, and they're caused by something rather odd: The fact that we're able to produce too much, far more than anyone needs to consume. Capitalist crises are crises of abundance, rather than as in the past disasters of shortage. Our factories and systems are so efficient we could give everyone in this planet a car, a house, and access to a decent school and hospital, that's what so enraged Marx; but, also made him so hopeful too. Few of us need to work because the modern economy is so productive. But rather than seeing this need not to work as the freedom it is we complain about it masochistically, and describe it in a deprecatory word, unemployment; we should call it democracy. There's so much unemployment, for a good and profoundly commendable reason, society is so good at making things efficiently, we're not all needed to pursue the work front. In that case, Marx believed, we should make leisure admirable; we should redistribute the wealth of the massive corporations that cause so much surplus money, and give it to everyone; this is in its way as beautiful a dream as Jesus's promise of heaven but a good deal more realistic

Marx argued that marriage was an extension of the business and that the Bourgeois family was abounding with tension, oppression, and malice. Through this example, he showed that people often stayed together not for love but, for financial reasons. Marx believed that the capitalist system overpowers everyone to put economic matters at the heart of their lives resulting in people losing knowledge of the joys through deep, honest relationships. He called this psychological tendency, commodity fetishism because it makes us value things that have no objective value. He wanted people to be freed from financial constraint, so that they could, at last, start to make rational, healthy choices in their relationships. The 20th-century feminist answer to the oppression of women has been to argue that women should simply be able to go out to work. However, Marx’s answer was simply explained; this feminist emphasis, merely continues human slavery. The point isn't that women should emulate the difficulties of their male colleagues; it's that men and women should have the perpetual option to enjoy
