Document Summary

Trying to make social change occur in society for the future: he prophesized that man would someday create a paradise on earth. That we would all someday live in brotherhood, sharing our talents and our wealth. There will be no inequality in his view of the future: he saw an alternative to the status quo. He saw the alternative to the capitalist system in which he lived: in his ideal world, there would be no more class inequality. This will only happen if and when certain social conditions come into play. It is not an automatic thing for this to occur, things in society have to occur, but they cannot occur prematurely. Even if we have the right time and the right conditions, it still might not happen if something intervenes with the variables at play. False consciousness: in this course, we will focus on marx"s role as a sociological theorist.
