Karl marx and Das Kapital

in #daskapital6 years ago

Marx lived during industrial capitalism , where there was poor condition of working class ,excessive exploitation of haven’t class , abject poverty ,and economic inequality prevailed , ### marx literally wanted to study the present society and why exploitation is happening because he wanted to change it , he knew that in order to understand the present he has to understand past and in order to predict future he have to create a link between past and present , he understood that past society was slave society and feudal society and present was the capital society and present was the result of past , according to him society develops by following a law , and this law of changing society is pure science concept , according to marx the world around us is the real , and our ideas are the reflection of it ! at the rudimentary level world developed then the ideas , and our ideas directly and proportionally depends on who we are and where do we live , he considerd change is the law of nature and a theory is stated to explain change , he observed that from slave society to feudal society and from feudal to capitalist society there is a link that is the link of struggle between haves and haven’t classes , so progress or development is the result of struggle between contradictions. Marx considered each stages refereed to a class , origin of classes lies in economics and economics is the engine of the history ,and ideas also can be considered as engine of history because whenever there is struggle between ideas , there is progress in the society , marx considered that history is nothing it is the story of struggle for survival ,it is the story of human labour and struggle , it is the story of struggle in human society and against a hostility . ,it is the story of struggle of one class against another . in slave society there were master and slave , so slave society history explains the struggle between master and slave , feudal society consisted of lord and serf , so feudal society explains the struggle between lord and serf, in similar way capitalist society consist of capitalist and worker, so capitalist history explains the story of struggle between worker and capitalist, so history is nothing but class struggle ,over opposing material or economic interest and resources ,. Marx said that the initial work of being human is to produce the means for their subsistence , everything else follows from the necessity to produce material means of our subsistence , our first priority should be on food we eat, cloth we wear, and house we live . in society dominant class are those who have the control over the material force of production ,and dominated or subservient class are those who don’t have command or control over it . but in dominant class the numbers of dominant people are less and dominated class population always outwaight the numerical strength of dominated class, and dominant class exercise control over dominated class by the use of army, police and by controlling over the consciousness of dominated class and by placing ideological superstructure , and working class or dominated class always suffer from false consciousness , they remain class in itself ….but dominated class should know the potential embibed in them, until and unless the false consciousness is removed from working class they will remain class in itself , but they should be class for itself not the class in itself...
