Additionally, although many workers worked long hours, their pay did not match up to the amount of effort put into their jobs. According to “Document A: Early Industrial Society: Progress or Decline?” by Peter Stearns states, “ Sick workers were rarely paid… wages fell, sometimes as much as 50 percent; up to a quarter of the labor force lost their jobs.” This shows inequality because the owners of these businesses underpay their workers on purpose to achieve greater wealth. While the rich gets richer off of the working class’s efforts, the working class become poorer due to their unstable financial income.
This essay will attempt to analyze and discuss the ways tycoons and corporations could be exploitative without government intervention. One of the main ways capitalism could be seen as exploitative
During World War II, most of the European theater used fascism; however most of Asia did not. In Europe, Italian ruler Benito Mussolini and Germany ruler Adolf Hitler adopted something like fascism to dictate their countries. Some say that fascism is only associated with Mussolini and Italian government, however, Adolf Hitler forcibly suppressed opposition and criticism, and emphasized an aggressive nationalism and racism, so he is a fascist. The Soviet Union (Joseph Stalin) used communism, which is a society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs. Japan used a different type of fascism.
To begin with, Fascism is a term that describes a political party who wants to gain power, usually through dictatorship or totalitarianism, they tend to serve economic and social regimentation usually by using force. Benito Mussolini was a socialist, he also was a fascist leader of the National Fascist party in the year of 1922 to 1943. Mussolini use fascism to gain power and built a first totalitarian state with the Fascist party and he gained his supporters by combining the into combat squads that wore black shirts, they rejected the democratic process and used violence instead. It seemed like Mussolini was desperate for power in any way and used violence to gain control. In the beginning Italians allowed these Fascist strategies to take control because the believed that it could restore power for the country and gain a strong and stable government.
Communism is similar to fascism,because in both theory and practice. The difference in the both is that Fascism is established in nationalism and worked towards to create a socialist utopia. Communism is a political theory derived from Karl Marx,advocating class war leading to a society,and also property is publicly owned and each person works and is also paid according to their abilities and needs. Adolf Hitler was Member #7 of the National Socialist German Worker’s Party.
Mussolini founded Fascism, which means everything one does should be for the country and the country only. Fascism is led by a dictator who suppresses strict rules. It is a form of totalitarianism.
These corporations became increasingly powerful and influential, controlling vast amounts of wealth and resources. However, the success of these corporations came at the expense of workers, who often endured
Communism believed in a classless society, while Fascism followed a dictatorship, but maintaining a dictatorship required the suppression of the people. Fascist ideology believed that “war alone brings up to their highest tension all human energies and puts the stamp of nobility upon the peoples who have the courage to meet it,” which requires constant violence to prove power (Lualdi 236). By 1924, Mussolini was able to gain 65% of the vote for fascism, but in 1933, the Nazi party only gained 44% of the vote, and even with a minority ruling party was able to gain control of the government. Both Mussolini and Hitler came into power through legal means, but Mussolini was named Prime Minister in the hopes of avoiding war but after gaining control. Yet after their legal rise into power, they used coercion and violence to further their fascist rulings.
Benito Mussolini, a former social Journalist, who was the leader that seized power and coined the term of Fascism. His ideas were fascist that aligns more with the authoritarian of modernity, believing that everything an individual does needs to be for the State over all other motives. Fascism combines mass movement with the aggression of authoritarian nationalism, antisocialist, and anti-liberal values. Mussolini’s fascism represented a counterrevolution following the Russian Revolution of 1917. Landowners and factory owners paid vigilante groups to attack socialist leaders.
In 1919, Benito Mussolini described fascism as “A movement that would strike against the backwardness of the right and the destructiveness of the left.” That “Fascism sitting on the right, could also have sat on the mountain of the center… These words in any case do not have a fixed and unchanged: they do have a variable subject to location, time and spirit. We don’t give a damn about these empty terminologies and we despise those who are terrorized by these words.” Fascism came into prominence in the early 20th-century Europe. It originated in Italy during World War I.
The idea of classes was something that the Fascist organization did not believe in. Instead of focusing on the class struggles the Fascist state looks to unite the classes (236). According to Mussolini, “Fascism is totalitarian” meaning the state holds centralized power (236). For this reason, Fascism is also opposed to Democracy. The political idea of Democracy is defined with the power centralized in the majority.
Fascism was founded mainly by Benito Mussolini the Italian dictator from 1922 to1943. Mussolini was the only request in Italy to be strong. Its leader began as follows; after the war in Italy. Mussolini has established the ‘National Fascist Party’. This political party was founded in 1992.
Preconditions and Contradictions of a Capitalist Society According to Karl Marx, the revolutionist and sociologist, there are preconditions as well as contradictions in a capitalist society.

There will be discussed who Karl Marx was, the influences in his life, the theory he studies named Marxism, conflict and contradictions, dialectic thinking, Materialism, Society, What Capitalism is?, and the critique based on Marx’s work from others.

Fascism started in Italy with Benito Mussolini and he was influenced by people like Niccolò Machiavelli, Thomas Hobbes, and G.W.F. Hegel. These three men influenced the development
Richard Wolff argues that this relationship is fundamentally conflicted because employers seek to maximize the surplus value created by workers while paying them the least possible wage. The solution proposed is workplace democracy, where workers collectively make decisions about the distribution of the surplus value they create. I agree with Wolff’s argument that the core of capitalism is the relationship between employer and employee, and that this relationship can be exploitative. The surplus value created by workers is often siphoned off by owners and shareholders, leaving workers with a fraction of the wealth they create. This creates an uneven distribution of wealth and perpetuates inequality.
