Karl Marx and the Communist Manifesto (Blog #26)




Along with the Industrial Revolution came problems faced both socially and economically. With Laissez-Faire capitalism being the most prevalent economic model, a change slowly occured in response to the problems that arose due to industrialization. Utilitarianism, which is a backlash to the problems and states that when the government must get involved, then they should get involved for the greatest amount of good for the greatest amount of people. Socialism, is the next rung on the ladder which increased government control over industries. To finally, communism which is full control by the government in all economic matters.

1) Karl Marx was a german philospher and the founder of Communism.
2) The Communist Manifesto was the book written by Marx about the political theories of Communism.
3) Capitalism is when there is no government regulation in the economy and supports individuality. Utilitarianism only uses government influence on economy when it is needed. Socialism is basically a government controls the industries more and promotes equality in business.

1) Karl Marx was a German journalist. He introduced the world to a more radical form of socialism. This went further to actually be the creation of communism.
2) It is a 23 page pamphlet that was in favor of communism. Written by Marx and Engels, it is based on the fact that humans are warring classes. However, they believed that this problem could by solved by a communistic government.
3) Capitalism is every man competing for himself financially. Socialism is when the government interferes with businesses to promote equal distribution of wealth. Utilitarianism was a thought that things should be judged on their productivity or usefulness. Communism is complete control by the government. The government tells businesses what to do and when to do it.
