         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. Before the 19th century, the bourgeoisie generally referred to the lower noble classes, higher than the proletariat.&nbsp; Proletariat is the class that is employed&nbsp; who has no means of production.<br><br>2. Marx believed that power is the embodiment of economic status in social operation, and when reflected politically, it is the embodiment of class capacity that dominates the economy.&nbsp; Social class, according to Marx, is determined by one's relationship to the means of production.<br><br>3. Capitalism is “a system of production that</div><div>contrasts radically with all previous</div><div>economic systems”. Capitalism has two main elements: capital and wage labour. According to Marx, Capitalism is an economic system in which relations between the two main classes ( bourgeoisie &amp; proletariat) are</div><div>characterised by conflict and not functional collaboration. Class conflicts is the motor of history and the motivation for historical developments. Although both classes depend on each other, but</div><div>this dependency is unbalanced: Workers have little</div><div>or no control over their labour and working</div><div>conditions. Whereas in alienation, Under Capitalism, workers are alienated as they lose</div><div>control over their</div><div>- objects of labour where workers have no ownership of the</div><div>products or tools of production.</div><div>- the process of production where workers do not play a part is</div><div>setting organisational goals</div><div>-&nbsp; workers : due to increasing division of labour and</div><div>competition.</div><div>- Himself/herself, where work is an enforced activity simply the</div><div>means for survival and no longer an expression of</div><div>individuals’ creativity &amp; freedom.</div><div>Marx regards ‘the capitalist relations of production as the source of alienation in modern capitalist societies.</div><div><br>4. There is going to be a revolution, Marx&nbsp;</div><div>suggests, that will destroy capitalism. The eventual replacement of capitalism is communism.Communism will put an end to classes in the society, hence, it will the final permanent state of the society.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. because marks believed that capitalism which was in its infancy&nbsp; at the time had serious flaws marks claimed that in pursuit of profit capitalists would encourage their ideology that work is good, leisure is bad and material things will make them happy.&nbsp;<br>2.First, the capitalist class monopolizes the possession of the means of production.</div><div>Second, workers do not understand the means of production and become hired workers who sell their labor for a living.</div><div>Third, the capitalist takes free possession of the surplus value created by the employed workers.<br>3.The essence of socialism is to liberate and develop the productive forces, eliminate exploitation, eliminate polarization and eventually achieve common prosperity &nbsp;<br>4.

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. Embracing mass production, depriving workers of kob satisfaction. At the same time, exploiting the working class. He abolish the class system and spread wealth equally. Based on the theory of Marxism came communism, the realization of a stateless society where all are equal.<br>2. He thinks that capitalism would lead to the rich getting richer, and the poor staying poor. Also, lead to boom and bust economics, globalization, and that a handful of firms would have huge market dominance.<br>3.The ideal society in Marx's view is to realize the common production materials, develop the social productive forces, implement the distribution on demand, and build a socialist society.<br>4. No. Because the utopian ideal of a fair and equal society failed to materialize. Communism tyrannised and impoverished it’s subjects and slaughtered them in the tens of millions.<br>5、Marxism has brought profound influence to social development, has become an important spiritual force, still has important applicability</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div>1. In the pursuit of profit, claiming that hard work is positive, that leisure is not acceptable, that material things make us happy, embrace mass production and deprive workers of job satisfaction.<br><br>2. wealth is not evenly distributed and a group of intellectuals wanted to abolish the class system and distribute wealth equally.<br><br>3. Communism, Marxism states, is not a doctrine divorced from reality, but a movement, the most practical movement that uses practical means to pursue practical ends.<br>4. Communism became a global movement, but the utopian ideal of a fair and equal society failed to materialize. Communism tyrannized and impoverished its subjects, and slaughtered them in the tens of millions.<br><br>5. Although capitalism dominates the world, many of Marx’s criticisms have never been more relevant. Today, the global disparity between rich and poor is startling. Marx predicted that capitalism would lead to the rich getting richer and the poor staying poor, and he was right. He also predicted that capitalism would lead to boom and bust economics. However, Marx underestimated the ability of capitalism to make everybody richer by making products much cheaper. He also got wrong the capacity of capitalism to reform itself by creating welfare states that redistributed wealth through taxation.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div>]]></description>
