Karl Marx was a well known philosopher he was a scholar and a political activist. He was labeled the “father of communism” He was a strong believer in communism but frowned upon capitalism. He thought of capitalism as immoral for a few reason. Marx argued with many issues because a lot of people say that communism is related to capitalism but Marx would disagree.

Marx argued that capitalism would have the same affects as previous socioeconomic systems had faced; he believe that capitalism will help to cause internal tensions and will lead to its destruction. Marx’s was not a big believer in social economic classes. From what I have read I feel Marx’s believes its not fair that the upper class have the most power and the middle class be stuck with less power when then work the hardest and to add to it he did not think it was fair that the lower class should be stuck working for less wages. He was not a believer let the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Basically Marx believes capitalism was immoral because the labor work force was looked over, and he believed people where getting cheated out of life itself.

I think because of Marx’s philosophy focus on human nature and equality. In Marx writing “Communist Manifesto,” He wrote, “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.” In this statement he reflects what his society would be like. Marx wanted everyone to only have one wage. Therefore, I think Marx’s would envision a moral society as a non-class society he would want everyone to be equal and make the same wages. He would want to be fair to nature and humans as a whole and not judge by who is rich and or poor.
