[amp_mcq option1=”a classed unique society” option2=”a united society” option3=”a classed society” option4=”None of the above” correct=”option3″]<\/p>\n
The correct answer is C. a classed society.<\/p>\n
Karl Marx was a German philosopher, economist, historian, sociologist, political theorist, journalist and socialist revolutionary. Born in Trier, Germany, Marx studied law and philosophy at university. He married Jenny von Westphalen in 1843. Due to his political publications, Marx became stateless and lived in exile in London for decades.<\/p>\n
Marx’s theories about society, economics and politics\u00e2\u0080\u0094collectively understood as Marxism\u00e2\u0080\u0094hold that human societies develop through class struggle. In capitalism, this manifests itself in the conflict between the ruling classes (known as the bourgeoisie) that control the means of production and the working classes (known as the proletariat) that enable these means by selling their labor power in return for wages.<\/p>\n
Marx argued that capitalism would inevitably produce internal tensions which would lead to its destruction. Just as capitalism replaced feudalism, he believed socialism would, in its turn, replace capitalism, and lead to a stateless, classless society called pure communism.<\/p>\n
Marx’s thought has informed much of subsequent intellectual history, and his ideas are still debated and analyzed today.<\/p>\n
Option A is incorrect because Marx did not advocate for a classed unique society. He believed that all societies are divided into classes, and that this division is the root of all social conflict.<\/p>\n
Option B is incorrect because Marx did not advocate for a united society. He believed that the only way to achieve a classless society was through revolution.<\/p>\n
Option D is incorrect because Marx did advocate for a classed society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
