Class struggle By Karl Marx ppt
presentation on Karl marx theory class struggle.
definition, stages, types. and criticism.
classical sociological theory
Karl Marx (German: [maʁks]; 5 May 1818 – 14 March 1883) was a German-born philosopher, economist, political theorist, historian, sociologist, journalist, and revolutionary socialist. His best-known works are the 1848 pamphlet The Communist Manifesto (with Friedrich Engels) and the three-volume Das Kapital (1867–1894); the latter employs his critical approach of historical materialism in an analysis of capitalism and is the culmination of his intellectual efforts. Marx's ideas and theories and their subsequent development, collectively known as Marxism, have exerted enormous influence on modern intellectual, economic and political history.
A presentation about socialism, a political and economic theory of social organization that advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned or regulated by the community as a whole.
Communism
- is a political, social, and economic ideology that advocates the replacement of private ownership and profit-based economies with a classless economic system under which the means of production, such as buildings, machinery, tools, and labor, are communally owned, with private ownership of property either prohibited or severely limited by the state.
Marx believed that history could be explained through class struggle
Marx was convinced that history would pass through certain phases (I.E. Feudalism, Capitalism, Socialism) until finally a Communist society would emerge. The idea of communism as a philosophy of government or society is predominantly based on the ideas of Karl Marx. It shares its ideals with Marxism or socialism. Given below are a few characteristics of the ideology:-
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

3. Why did the Industrial Revolution
face Critics?
• What were some of the problems associated with the IR?
Capitalism?
• Marx and Engels are particularly appalled at the development
of industrialization and capitalism and the social, economic,
and political changes it produced.
• It is in their engagement
with and thinking about
this new capitalist and
industrial world that
drives the development
of Marxist ideology.
4. Who was Friederich Engels?
• 1820 – 1895
• German
• Self-educated in philosophy
• Worked in England for his
father’s textile firm where
he personally observed the
working conditions of
industrial English workers
• Financially supported Marx
throughout his career
6. Who was Karl Marx?
• 1818-1883
• German
• Attended the University of Berlin
and earned a doctorate in
Philosophy.
• While in university he joined a
radical leftist group called the
Young Hegelians.
• After graduation he earned a
reputation as a radical and was
exiled to London.
• Spent most of his career living in
poverty while writing his famous
works.
7. Marxism
• Together, Marx and Engels are the founder of
Marxism
– Set of political, economic, historical, and sociological
ideas put forth by Karl Marx and Friederich Engels.
• Key Texts:
– Economic and Philosophical Manuscripts of 1844
(1844)
– The German Ideology (1845)
– The Communist Manifesto (1848)
– Das Capital (1867)
8. Core Ideas of Marxism We Must Consider
1. Class Conflict
2. Bourgeoisie and Proletariat
3. Alienation
4. Class Consciousness, False
Consciousness, and the Communist
Revolution
9. 1. Class Conflict
• What are classes?
– Economic groups defined in terms of their
relationship to the means of production
• In any given society, there have always been
two groups:
• Oppressing Class
• Those that own the means of production
• Oppressed Class
• Those that do not own the means of production
• But use the means of production for the benefit
of the oppressing class
10. Class Conflict Drives History
• In any given society when those
two opposing classes come into
conflict it propels history forward
into a new stage of history and
new classes emerge.
• Ultimately these new classes will
also come into conflict until
history reaches its end point: the
classless society Marx and
Engels call communism.
Communist Revolution
11. Stages of History and Class Conflict at
Each Stage
Stage
Oppressing
Class
Oppressed
Class
Primitive
Communism No classes = No Conflict
Slavery Slave Owners Slaves
Feudalism Landowners Serfs
Capitalism Bourgeoisie Proletariat
Socialism State Managers Workers
Communism No Classes = No Conflict
12. Communism is Inevitable
• Marx believes this evolution of history is
inevitable.
• Communism is inevitable
– Because capitalism contains within it the
seeds of its own destruction.
13. Stop! Take Our Pulse…
• How does Marx define class?
• What are the two major economic classes
of the industrial era?
• What is the function of class conflict?
14. 2. Two Social Classes in the Industrial
Age: Bourgeoisie vs. Proletariat
• Marx argued that the emergence of capitalism had ushered in a
new stage of history in which there were two new opposing social
classes.
– Bourgeoisie (Oppressing Class):
• Own the means of production
• Factory owners, bankers
– Proletariat (Oppressed Class):
• Sell their labor and do not own the means of production
• Factory workers
15. Exploitation
• In a capitalist system, bourgeoisie exploit
the proletariat by using their labor to make
goods that are sold for more than the
proletariat is paid.
• This taking of “surplus value” is the
source of exploitation in capitalist society.
16.
17. 3. Alienation
• Proletariat not only suffer because of
exploitation, but also because the
capitalist system causes them to
experience three types of alienation:
1. Alienation from Species-Being
2. Alienation from their Product
3. Alienation from Fellow Worker
18. 4. Class Consciousness
• However, the revolution can only occur
once the proletariat develop class
consciousness.
• Class consciousness:
– Collective
realization that they are
being exploited and that
this must stop.
19. 4. False Consciousness
• In the absence of class consciousness,
workers suffer from false consciousness in
which they cannot recognize their own
oppression.
• Religion actually facilitates false
consciousness.
• “Religion is the opiate
of the people.”
What does this mean?
20. 4. Class Conflict in the Modern Age
(Or the Coming of the Communist Revolution)
1. Individual
members of the
proletariat become
angry and may clash
with individual
members of the
bourgeoisie or may
destroy the means
of production
2. Proletariat
develop class
consciousness and
come together as a
class to realize their
shared interest in
overthrowing
capitalism
3. Proletariat
overthrow the
bourgeoisie in a
violent and
inevitable revolution
leading the creation
of a communist
society.
21. Attainment of Communism
• But before long, the workers would learn to
share everything equally – “from each according
to his abilities, to each according to his needs” -
and live in government-less society. Karl Marx
called this Communism, or the Ultimate
Classless Society.
22. Attainment of Communism
• After the workers rise up and revolt violently
(and overthrow the capitalists), they
establish a temporary Dictatorship of the
Proletariat.
• At first, the Dictatorship of the Proletariat
would need absolute powers to make sure
Reactionaries didn’t bring back capitalism.
23. Stop! Take Our Pulse
• Who are the Bourgeoisie? The
Proletariat?
• What are the three types of alienation?
• What is the relationship between class
consciousness, false consciousness, and
the communist revolution?
• What does a communist economic
system look like?
Editor's Notes
Stress to students that we need to keep an open mind when we study Marx.
The domestication of animals and plants following the Neolithic Revolution through herding and agriculture is seen as the turning point from primitive communism to class society as it was followed by private ownership and slavery.
