Document Summary
Life we are able to be sociable - we are social creatures. Each and everyone of us is an artist but the economic system disallows us to pursue it. Everyone is allowed to make a change in world. Natural is where we start but we move towards socially constructed so we move to capitalism then back to socialism and then communism. Start on marx" analysis on how things went wrong in history. Making it up as it goes along. Manifests something is not right- emerges because people are not happy. Responding reality with unreal ideas - utopia - nowhere. Systematic - in order for theory to be useful it should be able to be applied to multiple time period. Neutral - wont favour any ideas, will push ideas out- ideas = reflection of false consciousness. We can look at past and look what conditions were like based on. Strip away inessential to the basic humans.
