The Theories Of Materialism & Marx's Capitalism
Capitalists, "the bourgeoisie," need to consistently support technological change, with the threat of complete social turmoil, disturbing social customs, and other societal changes. Historical materialism is the theory that physical circumstances and class relationships attribute to the state of the economy. The economy determines relationships and communication within a society. Marx thought that all other systems other than communism could be exploited. Capitalism has the working classes being exploited for low-cost wage work by the bourgeoisie that controlled the factories and jobs.
This exploitation is what Marx declares to be histories greatest dilemma. The bizarre habit of Capitalism's need to suffer from different diseases, wars, and other socioeconomic issues are foolish, they derive from economic surpluses in the society and the implosion of goods. In a Capitalist society, these business plummets and economic shortages come from too many goods, the paradoxical outcome is that businesses go bankrupt, poverty grows, jobs are lost and many people suffer from too little. Too much production and not enough demand is the issue, the continued capitalist innovation of society and technology, is still an issue that hurts current market economies in today's society. Marx doesn't plainly convey that capitalist economic societies must become 'imperialistic societies' to endure.
The capitalist society must locate an ever-growing market for all of the economies goods that chases the bourgeoisie over the entire surface of the globe. Capitalist economic societies that are facing economic depression, mostly because their production machines and factories can yield a surplus of products for the population to buy, will then begin their transition to over-seas marketplaces to drop prices and prolong the process. In this process of prolonging and transitioning their economic support, these societies spread capitalism beyond its original location to the rest of the world and becoming the dominant economic type, with astonishing results, both good and bad. Unlike many radicals in present time, Marx strongly admired the productivity and the power of a capitalist society, even if he criticized its power to abuse it's workers and the countries colonialist wars.
Marx believed that capitalist economic societies had made imperialism truly practical for society solely based on the idea that the society was now generating such wealth that now the whole population could be supported. He thought that the sharing of wealth and goods and general equality within society was made almost impossible while being repressed by the previous capitalist economic system, partially societies that had evolved past the stage of tribal communism. The Communist Manifesto discusses in depth, "utopian" imperialist members of the population, mostly to criticize them. There had been considerable research and ideas about communist & socialist economic structures before Marx & Engels; they were not inventing or designing a different economic structure or idea, but reshaping a previously existing structure.
The Communist Manifesto's ideas about the "class struggle" between the working class and the wealthy as the engine that powers the change in history was based almost entirely on previous, non-communist philosophers and researchers who identified history being designed and molded by the conflicts caused by the difference in classes in society. In history, after a time of repression by the wealthy class, a vanguard party would then gain support and raise awareness of the conditions and plights of the proletariat and be the push that will cause a revolution within society against the bourgeoisie. The population of the working class would then set up an economic socialist state that would then begin to redistribute the wealth attained from the production of goods evenly so equality would materialize into society and to destroy the prominent capitalist idea of economics. After a substantial period of this worker's state, the state would wither away and be replaced with a classless, stateless society in which the worker's owned the means and products of production are commonly known as communism.
