Communism Solves All
To most of you the above statement sounds
outrageous, but to Karl Marx he truly believed this. He believed in two social
classes, the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. The role of the bourgeoisie in
society was to innovate and make society better. This class was the middle class;
their wealth was based off of their property value. Bourgeoisie’s were necessary
for improving the country’s portrayal of itself to other nations. By passing on
industrialization ideas it made that particular nation seem more prosperous. The
proletariat on the other hand was the poor people whose main source of income
was labor. They were continuously living in poverty.
In Marx’s eyes communism would alleviate
the proletariat class from poverty. By having the government own all land the bourgeoisie
class wouldn’t exist because they wouldn’t have anything to base their wealth off
of.
On the topic of alleviating poverty, I do and don’t believe that
donating will solve the rich and poor problem. If rich people are donating to
the poor, there still is going to be rich and poor people. The poor need to
learn to work and fend for themselves instead of just always taking from the
rich. I think Carnegie’s example of dispensing the wealthy’s money while they
are alive is a good plan because at least they will be able to see what is
being done with their money yet at the same time I don’t think the rich people
should have to be responsible for the poor.
