Document Summary

Exploitation: workers are paid less in wages than the value they produce. Surplus value: social product which is over and above what is required for the producers to live. Capital is dead labour, that, vampire like, only lives by sucking living labour, and live the more, the more labour it sucks (marx, capital: 233). Communist manifesto (marx & engels)- capitalism > communism -> socialism. Social life is based upon conflicts of interests between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat. Society is based upon a set of tensions and struggles based upon our class position. Class conflict represents a process whereby change comes about through the opposition of social classes as they pursue what they see to be their collective interests. Not concerned with individuals; concerned with social classes. Economically determinist everything comes down to an economic relationship; override all other relationships (e. g. , family).
