led “Marxist” revolutions
• Many weretotalitarian.

of many political parties– (old Labour for
example).

(bourgeoisie)
Workers
(proletariat)
Ownersand workers
• Ownersexploit workersand live
off themoney which theworkers
earn.
• Workersput up with this
inequality because:
1. They areoppressed wageslavesand
cannot fight thesystem.
2. They areindoctrinated by ideology and religion
into believing what they aretold by the
powerful.
A job for United Labour
“Theworker
becomesall the
poorer themore
wealth he
produces, the
morehis
production
increasesin
power and range.”
Marx and
The Revolution
• Marx predicted that wealth would
belong to fewer and fewer people.
• Theworkerswould eventually realise
their position and overthrow the
bourgeoisie
• Therewould bean armed revolution
which would begin in Britain.
• It wascoming SOON.
I don’t care
about you!
• Therevolution NEVER
OCCURED (in theform hesaid it
would).
• Peoplearenot poorer?
• Wealth isnot concentrated
in thehandsof afew rich
people(but it’smoving there).
• Britain hasn’t had a
Communist revolution yet
and isnot likely to in thenear future.
Marx in hisown words # 1
“Men maketheir own history, but
they do not makeit just asthey
please; they do not makeit under
circumstanceschosen by themselves,
but under circumstancesdirectly
found, given and transmitted from
thepast. Thetradition of all thedead
generationsweighslikeanightmare
on thebrain of theliving.”
“History repeats
itself, first as
TRAGEDY,
second as
FARCE.”
# 2
Marx in hisown words
# 3
“Thewriter may very
well servea
movement of history
asitsmouthpiece, but
hecannot of course
createit.”
MAY SPEAK FOR
HISTORICAL
MOVEMENTS
CREATION OF
HISTORICAL
MOVEMENTS NOT
PERMITTED
“In bourgeoissociety
capital isindependent
and hasindividuality,
whiletheliving person
isdependent and hasno
individuality.”
I wish I didn’t
need THEIR
money to
survive.
