Document Summary
September 27, 2013: marxism is often referred to as socialism. I believe that he created and thought up the basis and foundation for socialism to emerge. He did this with the help of frederich engles: marx thought that human nature was somewhat similar to liberalism. They both believed in the positives of humans. Marx thought that human nature rarely changed at all throughout history. People are able to create their own lives and wants: marx believed that for real social change two things were necessary. The philosophy of his social theory was important. He felt people needed a real materialistic understanding of the world and people"s relationships within it. The goal of his work was to develop his theory. He wanted his thoughts to be shared and penetrated into the minds of the people, and they would then have the ability to emancipate themselves: there are many problems that marx considers the capitalist system obtains.
