Marxism – the basics

Karl Marx

Mid- Late Nineteenth Century Britain Unrest and protest – Chartism Long hours, low pay Periodic unemployment No Welfare State No universal right to vote

Mid-Nineteenth Century Europe Revolution in France Revolutions elsewhere in Europe Times of Turmoil

Marxs insight: Its all about money

Some have it…… They are called capitalists (or the bourgeoisie)

Others dont ….. They are called the workers (or the proletariat)

Capitalists and workers are thrown together into relations of production

They dont get on too well

Capitalists want the maximum PROFIT – and the lowest costs

Workers want the highest wage for the least work

These two groups are locked in mortal combat

The Capitalists compete with each other. The successful capitalists get richer and richer

… and the failed capitalists fall down into the working class

The workers meanwhile are more and more exploited by the remaining capitalists – they get poorer and poorer

Marx said that eventually the workers will rise up in revolution against the capitalist class A new communist society will be created

Key Differences from Leninism Marxs revolution was a natural one that would only occur when a nation that had reached point in industrial society. It would not be dictated by the state! It would be a revolution of the Proletariat… a Dictatorship of the Proletariat.

Key Differences from Leninism Lenin's Russia was led by a dictatorship of the Communist Party, whose leaders simply assumed they knew what was best for the working classes The development of Lenin's ideas about a "vanguard" party leading the proletarian revolution developed into the notion of a centralized governing party, a communist party, which would rule on behalf of the working classes. Instead of Marx's ideals of a "dictatorship of the proletariat," Lenin's Russia was led by a dictatorship of the Communist Party, whose leaders simply assumed they knew what was best for the working classes. After Lenin's death, Josef Stalin carried this even further, developing a totalitarian dictatorship.
