Hegel was a strong believer in god, but personally, I’m convinced there is no such thing as “divine”. According to Feuerbach’s beliefs, God is invented by human beings. The worship of God hindered humans from enjoying and using their own human powers. As a member of the young Hegelians, or the German left, I believe the only way to free humans is to destroy the material conditions we hold. The Holy Family,“On the Jewish Question,” “Theses on Feuerbach,” and especially A Contribution to the Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Rightare all works written by me which mainly focuses on the socialism. There is no such thing as political nor personal freedom in the society we live in. The only concept that is driving our conscious mind is the economic interest of man. Capitalism makes all the choices revolve around economic interest, which is the root of human depression. ]]> 2018-09-12 07:42:10 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_ng/vb3n063np1ol/wish/280223759 “Workers of the world, Unite!” anna_ng https://padlet.com/anna_ng/vb3n063np1ol/wish/280224036 Capitalism is the root of all evil because in order to survive and make profit, a capitalist must exploit its workers to the greatest legal degree. The worker in return does not have a choice but to take the job if he or she wants to survive. In a world like this, you can either exploit others or be exploited by business owners. Furthermore, when a business owner produces something, another worker buys it, which in return benefits the business owner who will become even richer and will have the ability to exploit even more workers. This vicious cycle will cause a greater inequality gap between the rich and the poor. ]]> 2018-09-12 07:43:10 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_ng/vb3n063np1ol/wish/280224036 “The philosophers have only interpreted the world; the point is to change it” anna_ng https://padlet.com/anna_ng/vb3n063np1ol/wish/280224141 A revolution is inevitable in the process of moving toward a world with equality. First, there should not be any private property or inherited wealth. There must be steeply graduated income tax in order to ensure the wellness of the unprivileged. The control of transportation and banks should be centralized. Last but not least, public education should be assessable to everyone. ]]> 2018-09-12 07:43:32 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_ng/vb3n063np1ol/wish/280224141 Major Work and Publication anna_ng https://padlet.com/anna_ng/vb3n063np1ol/wish/280225522 2018-09-12 07:48:29 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_ng/vb3n063np1ol/wish/280225522 Capitalism is the root of all evil. Here is why: anna_ng https://padlet.com/anna_ng/vb3n063np1ol/wish/280745727 Modern work is alienated: Modern work is specialized, which makes the work force high efficient, yet none of the workers will develop a genuine sense of contribution toward the product of their work.

Modern work is insecure: There are no guarantees for a low-class worker. Workers could get fired just because the cost of production rose or because the economy is not doing so well.

Primitive accumulation: Workers get exploited because in order to maintain their place, capitalist business owners needs to keep the prices low while making profit, therefore, they exploit the workers. Profit is a fancy term for theft where business owners steal the effort of their work force.

Capitalist is unstable: Capitalist is a leap from crisis to crisis. Crisis happens because of abundance of production. The factories in modern world are so efficient that everyone could own the necessities for living. However, the majority of wealth is in the hands of the top 10 %.

Cause of depression: Capitalism harms the bourgeois as well since monetary values becomes the heart of daily life. Marriage is more of a business than a union of relationship originated from love. A world like this lacks deep and honest relationships.

Commodity Fetishism: Everyone in a capitalist society value things that has no objective value. I insist that men and women should enjoy leisure.

To conclude, one of the biggest evil of capitalism is not that there are corruption, which is inevitable in every society, but the feelings of being anxious, competitive, and worthless that is making people unhappy.

My two most important works, The Communist Manifesto and Das Kapital have critiqued the system of capitalism which plagues our world, helping society understand how and why conflict happens.

My book The Communist Manifesto was widely circulated during the 1848 European Revolutions, and in the early 20^th century, my works set the foundation of the Russian Revolution and following that many revolutions across East Europe and Asia (though it should be noted that I share many differences with the policies and beliefs of socialist governments of the Cold War). The importance of class struggle and the nature of class conflict cannot be understated, and in recognition of my works, many have sought to implement my beliefs in various levels of governance. While no country has achieved what I sought out for in The Communist Manifesto, the importance of the proletariat in society is coming to greater recognition in the modern world. This takes the form of public healthcare, good public services, and mechanisms for equality (like progressive tax). They have built off my principle beliefs in equality and the empowerment of the proletariat, and continue to serve society well.

The political nature of economics is often left out of discussion. I am one of the earliest economists to recognize how political groups interact with one another. My understanding of the behavior of the proletariat and bourgeoisie has helped empower billions around the world, telling them that their suffering at the hands of inequality is ultimately unjust. ]]> 2018-09-13 11:16:00 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_ng/vb3n063np1ol/wish/280757061 Influences on the Economy samuelsoh_soh https://padlet.com/anna_ng/vb3n063np1ol/wish/280757350 2018-09-13 11:17:05 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_ng/vb3n063np1ol/wish/280757350 Influences of Communist Manifesto vs Das Kapital samuelsoh_soh https://padlet.com/anna_ng/vb3n063np1ol/wish/280759043 Perhaps the most famous of my works is The Communist Manifesto. I put forth an explanation as to how conflict occurs between social groups, and offer an end-goal for humanity: the abolishment of class itself.

As mentioned in "Empowering the Proletariat", The Communist Manifesto was highly influential during the European Revolutions which occurred in 1848. It was the Russian Revolution, however, that was the first to endorse The Communist Manifesto as one of its guiding documents. In fact, it was required for members of the political elite to know The Communist Manifesto. To date, the book is taught around the world in universities and other academic institutions, widely regarded as one of the most important political/economic documents ever written.

Das Kapital discusses the nature of capitalism as a method of exploitation used by the bourgeoisie to suppress the proletariat.

As news media, the internet, and economic globalization make the flaws of capitalism more apparent, Das Kapital's critique of how capitalism functions becomes more relevant. Multinational companies around the world have been found to exploit workers in regions where there are little mechanisms for workers to fight back. The power these companies hold in the political realm is a present danger to society, and lobbyists and investors continue to pursue political gain for their own economic interests. Das Kapital was one of the first books to discuss this exploitation, and I have no doubt my predictions and arguments on what capitalism truly is will draw many to the idea of the proletariat revolution.]]> 2018-09-13 11:23:00 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_ng/vb3n063np1ol/wish/280759043 Bibliography samuelsoh_soh https://padlet.com/anna_ng/vb3n063np1ol/wish/280785974 https://learnodo-newtonic.com/karl-marx-contribution

I was born on May 5th, 1818 in Trier Germany, to a middle-class family. I am an economist, philosopher, historian and a revolutionary socialist. My parents are Henrietta and Heinrich Marx. My grandparents were Jewish. However, my father converted from Judaism to Lutheranism to continue his career as a lawyer. Whereas, I have become atheism.

( Growing up in a society (Germany: full of religious discrimination ), and having a Jewish background, somewhat inspired the desire for social change.)

In 1842 I moved to Cologne, working as a journalist. I got married in the year 1843 to Jenny Von Westphalen.

Paris
A year later my wife and I moved to Paris where I meet my Fredric Engels, who has a similar ideology as I, thus we became friends. Frederick Engels inspired me with my ideology. With the help from Engels, I was able to publish several books throughout 1844-1845. The Which includes The Holy Family (written by Engles and me), Theses on Feuerbach, and the ”The economic and Philosophical Manuscripts. ”

In 1845, I was expelled from Paris due to the “incitement to armed rebellion” because I have contradicting and socialist views. Two years after the I was expelled, I wrote my most famous work called “The Communist Manifesto.” (Which was published in 1848)

In 1846, Engels and I set up the Communist Correspondence Committee. In 1847, the "League of Just" was introduced（"Workers of the World Unite".)
Then, in 1 Engles and I published the “The Communist Manifesto.”

London
My family and I moved to London in 1849. From 1850-1864 my family lived in deplorable condition. I was unemployed, so there was barely any income. During these years, Fredric Engels continuously provide financial support to my family.
In the year 1881, my wife passed away as well as one of my daughters.

I find that your suggestion regarding the necessity for the absence of private property to be beyond egregious. From my personal viewpoint, I believe that for individuals to productive, they have to feel a certainty that they can enjoy the commodity of land, capital, and labour as a direct result of their individual labour. However, by removing the possibility of individuals enjoying the commodity of private property as you suggested, the productivity of these individuals will progressively deteriorate. This will in turn not only greatly hinder the economic prosperity of an economy, but moreover, damage economic stability and health of an economy to immeasurable extents. To reiterate, your suggestion for the removal of private property from an economy is ludicrous, and ultimatly obstructs the progress of an economy through the decline in an individual's productivity.

I admire your works on the destruction of capitalism, and I must say I agree with you up to a certain point. It seems like you point out many meaningful flaws of capitalism and come to a conclusion that it will ultimately lead to proletariat revolution and destruction. I agree that capitalism will destroy itself, but it won’t be due to the flaws of capitalism. Rather, it would be due to the success of capitalism. Capitalism will be successful and it will lead to corporatism. Corporatism enables intellectuals to debase aspects of capitalism such as unemployment in favor of restrictions, eventually weakening entrepreneurship and leading to a more socialism-based government. In other words, destruction.

I completely disagree with you on the statement that capitalism is the root of all evil. Without capitalism, workers cannot work to their fullest extent since extra labor is discouraged and workers will not work as hard. In totalitarian socialism where there is no private property nor freedom, citizens are required to work without any choice. Although all citizens might be equal, if they are all poor, then socialism is not a good alternative to capitalism. I do acknowledge that capitalism has some flaws, such as the gap between rich and the poor. ]]> 2018-09-17 14:40:51 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_ng/vb3n063np1ol/wish/282357201 Comment from Adam Smith https://padlet.com/anna_ng/vb3n063np1ol/wish/282715035 As a supporter of capitalism, free trade and the free market, i absolutely disagree with your idea that “Capitalism is the root of all evil”. You claim that capitalism is linked to society becoming inequitable, where through the use of capital, the upper class bourgeois would oppress the lower class proletariat by maximising profits for themselves and keeping the wages of the proletariat working under them low to preventing the proletariat from moving upwards in society. However this theory if faulted because without capitalism and the free market for the economy to grow, there would be no wealth to give out as charity. Capitalism functions because of the trust people have in each other to make the transactions, therefore capitalist need to be moral for capitalism to function, making capitalism inherently good since it would not function otherwise, as shown in my work, "the theory of moral sentiments".
