9. Marx’s Problem With Capitalism
Based on private ownership.
Owners want the most work for the least cost.
Workers are fighting to prevent exploitation.
Creates an antagonistic class struggle.
Workers will overthrow the owners and implement communism.

10. Marx’s Style of Communism
Eventually, the working class will implement a mode of production based on collective ownership.
“From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.”
Stateless, classless society.
All people are equal, and no one person deserves a better quality of life than another.
Our awesome beards don’t make us better than you.

All transportation and communication is centrally controlled by the state.
Collective/state owned farms
Everyone works equally, mostly to support agriculture.
