Confused about Marx?
Marx and his Marxism is more difficult to understand that even capitalism. First, you must remember the discussion on capitalism and the concept I introduced--the "Industrial Caste System." Remember?
Now, Karl Marx developed his view on history from a historian by the name of Hegel. Right now, go to google and type Hegel. How does his view on history differ from the traditional? What does he say about "great men"? Rather than looking to the men or even the different aspects of the ages, what does he determine to be the driving force of history?
If you have looked at Hegel, now look how Marx manipulates this into class stuggle. According to Marx, what is the last class struggle? Explain.
What does Marx really believe?

Look at Hegel viewed history. Marx takes this concept and alters it to class struggle.
so, im reading, because i swear i will have a well thought out write-up for both posts before i enter your class tomorrow, and im seeing that Hengel's "thesis-antithesis-synthesis" triad is innacurate and was based more on kant's and fichte's philosophes. Scholars are now saying that, though "thesis-antithesis" is correct, "synthesis" should be replaced with "whole". The objective should be the unification of the moral whole and the reality of freedom in the state, opposed to a simple combination of the two previouse ideals sated in thesis and the antithesis. (this is, at least, my understanding.) It then goes on to say that reason is speculative, not dialectical. wtf?
gishane--you have the stucture of the philo down. The failure is you understanding that Marx believed that the Proletariat Revolution would end all class struggle and that there would form some type of utopia. It is out there, but you have the gist.
