Marx never lived to see some of his theories manifest but they
were later on developed by his followers into dialectical
materialism. His visions of the future largely failed to
materialize especially the idea of a classless society, a society
that has neither the rich nor the poor. However, this viewpoint
of having a classless society is considered by many utopian and
practically not applicable as societies have always had
inequalities and will forever have inqualities. His analysis of
class structure and class conflict have had profound influence
on history, sociology, and study of human culture.
Some of Marx greatest quotes and a summation of his ideas
include;
The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains.
Meaning all the poor people have to do is to be brave, refuse to
be controlled the rich and revolt against them.
The theory of the Communists may be summed up in the
single sentence: Abolition of private property.
Communism deprives no man of the ability to appropriate the
fruits of his labour. The only thing it deprives him of is the
ability to enslave others by means of such appropriations.
