What makes Marxism appealing?
(5)
-Money is an important motivator for people
-People fight about money; conflict is an important feature of life (fight for economic
survival)
-Contradictions between forces and relations of production
-Conflict between management and labor (bourgeoisie vs proletariat); increase in
money=increase in labor force
-the poorer the income, the better Marxism looks
Contradictions between forces and relations of production
contradiction between forces= what capitalism has to do to make profit
relations of production= what capitalism has to do to survive long term
Basic Marxism
(12)
-differentiated between bourgeoisie and proletariat
-bourgeoisie owns and controls means of production
-proletariat controls their own labor
-much of labor force is neither bourgeoisie or proletariat
-ownership and control is important
-bourgeoisie always exploits proletariat; always in conflict
-extraction of surplus value=company won't pay you a good amount unless they profit
from it
-all values come from labor
-working with embodied labor
-capitalism(owner) produces no value, executives contribute to the process
-economies become unstable when they lose surplus value
-energy becomes expensive
Communist Manifesto
(2)
-all capitalist societies will fall because of a workers revolution (most advanced nations
will fall first)
-too much use of capital = unemployment (people will be too poor to buy stuff)
Marxist Model
media, culture and government is controlled by capitalist class for the benefit of capital
, Marxist Model
(3)
-media pushes capitalist values (you NEED this; work to buy something)
-workers will wake up when they realize the economy is falling (workers will rise up and
overthrow capitalism which will create socialism)
-a class that isn't doing anything for itself is a class of itself
Capitalism
Bourgeoisie owns means of production &
Proletariat sells labor to bourgeoisie
Socialism
no private property, doesn't own any means of production, social democracy(tax the rich
to help the poor)
Bourgeoisie
owns and controls means of production
Proletariat
only controls their own labor
Surplus Value
-all value comes from labor
-value you created and are not receiving
Slave economy
someone owns the right to your labor
Arguments against Marxism
(5)
-capitalism will fall by revolution and get overthrown by working class (False- this hasn't
happened)
-workers get more revolutionary as capitalism progresses (False)
-capitalist economies have prospered over time; increases in wages/increase in
standard of living
-did not figure a technological change would happen
-did not figure liberal left wing reform would happen
