Significance Of This Allusion elliott_blecker https://padlet.com/hayrmail_class/x19qc2lqtd1y/wish/154709454 The Communist Manifesto. Marxism/dialectical materialism/ Marxist-Leninist. Marx had faith in a classless society because he believed labels inevitably lead to prejudice and inequality but made it very clear that denying all people of their social standing doesn't mean they'll be denied their independence and freedom. Karl Marx was a German philosopher and theorist who wrote about the fundamental principles of socialism. The political group "Marxist-Leninist(s)" combines Lenin and Marx because Lenin is credited for applying Marx's theories to the October revolution. The only major difference between Marx's prediction of the proletariat revolution and the October revolution is that Marx predicted the revolution would occur in a very industrialized, machine-based country whereas the October revolution occurred in a very barren, agriculture-based country. Karl Marx wrote the Communist Manifesto in 1848 and died in 1883 but the October Revolution started and ended in 1917, so even though Lenin was fighting for his belief in Marxism, Lenin and Marx didn't have a mutual connection. Understanding Marxism in the midst of the capitalist United States in 1932 is important when reading A Brave New World because the concepts of equality and liberty were being challenged at the time. Especially after the Civil War which made enslavement of individuals illegal even though Plessy V. Ferguson, Jim Crow and the KKK preserved racial discrimination towards Africans and colored people in general. One fundamental aspect to Marxism is that a violent revolution for the Proletariat is inevitable because the system that they're expected to democratically co-operate with is the source of their oppression. Marx and Lenin challenged the idea of providing liberty for as many people as people by overthrowing their government as outsiders. Especially since Vladimir Lenin died while ruling the Soviet Union for such a short amount of time, less than eight years; a false image of communism has been established worldwide due the totalitarian rulers such as Joseph Stalin (planned a coup to replace Lenin even though Lenin had Trotsky in mind) and the Kim Dynasty. In addition, Lenin and Stalin were atheist and one nation under God was added to the pledge of allegiance during the 50s/60s to further separate the country from communism. Possibly due to the limited accessibility of the Communist Manifesto, Eugene V. Debs was a socialist who ran for president multiple times on Democratic and Socialist platforms from 1900-1920 who was largely unpopular compared to Roosevelt who annexed countries in South America and Wilson who openly supported the KKK. Debs is also important to note when analyzing Marxism and the allusion to it because Debs made socialism more accessible for people in the United States even though he was campaigning in the early years of the first major red scare.
