Karl Marx was a hugely influential 19th century philosopher and economist whose ideas centered around social and economic inequality under capitalism. He argued that industrialization led to a split society with the wealthy bourgeoisie owning the means of production and the working proletariat forced to sell their labor for wages. This dynamic exploited workers and enriched capitalists, leading Marx to conclude that capitalism would inevitably give way to socialism through revolution as workers became increasingly alienated.

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 French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

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.

2. Karl Marx was a hugely
influential revolutionary
thinker, political
economist and
philosopher.
1818 - 1883
Published The Communist
Manifesto with Friedrich
Engels in 1848.
His ideas deal with social and
economic power relationships and have
been influential in economics, politics &
sociology.
3.
4. Marx basically argues that since industrialisation,
society is in a state of conflict between the rich and
the poor because these social groups have unequal
power.
Industrialisation led to the creation of a capitalist
society…
Methods of production
moved from being
agricultural to factory
and industry based.
5. Industrialisation meant that
power in society fell into
the hands of the wealthy,
because they were the
ones who owned most of
the land, could afford
machinery, build factories
& own big businesses &
they also employed the
people to work for them.
6. In a capitalist society, the
economy is based on business,
trade & consumption with an
aim of making big profits.
The problem is that this doesn’t
benefit all – the rich get richer
& the poor get poorer under
capitalism.
7. Those who are poorer (Proletariat / working class) &
have limited access to owning the means of production
(factories, mills & businesses) are forced into working for
those who own the means of production (Bourgeoisie),
who have the wealth and are businessmen or members
of the government.
Although the workers receive a wage for
producing the goods that consumers need &
want, the goods are sold at a profit, for more
than they cost to make, and this surplus value
goes straight back into the pockets of the
‘fat cats’ (Bourgeoisie).
8. As such, capitalism leads to
social inequality…
Marx sees a capitalist society
as a split society.
Those who control or have
power are called the
bourgeoisie.
Those who don’t and who
have to sell their labour for
minimal pay (and often no
share of the profit) are called
the proletariat.
9. Under capitalism, the means for
producing & distributing goods are
owned by a relatively small group.
The majority of people sell
their labour in return for a
wage or salary.
Marx famously said:
“The proletariat have nothing
to lose but their chains.
Workingmen of all countries,
unite!”
10. Power was held by a minority (the elite / bourgeoisie) who had
access to capital and could use their money and power to
generate more wealth.
The majority of the population (the mass / proletariat) had only
their labour (strength & time) to help them make a living.
Industrialisation had meant that the elite were the only ones
who had access to the means of production.
Without the ability to produce for themselves, the mass were
dependent on the elite for survival.
To maximise profits, the elite needed to get as
much labour from (exploit) the mass for as little
cost as possible.
The elite needed the mass to accept their
position as powerless workers.
11. Why do we let this social inequality happen?
Firstly, industrialisation meant families no longer
worked on their own land or produced their own
goods. Because they couldn’t compete with the
means of mass production they didn’t have enough
income coming in and so had to
seek employment elsewhere in
towns, working for the bourgeoisie.
People had no choice but to work
for the capitalist bourgeoisie &
therefore had to accept their new
place & role in life.
12. How do the capitalists /
ruling class make sure
everyone conforms to
this new status as
subservient or unequal?
The bourgeoisie in
any society are
outnumbered by the
proletariat, so why
don’t they simply
rise up & overthrow
their masters?
13. How do the capitalists / ruling class make sure everyone
conforms to this new status as subservient or unequal?
From a Marxist perspective,
social institutions like the
mass media play a key role
in shaping our beliefs &
limiting our behaviours, i.e.
brainwashing the proletariat
into seeing their situation as
natural & right, ensuring that
the working class remain
happy despite the inherent
unfairness of the system.
14. Marx described the situation in which members of the
subordinate classes cannot see that they are being
duped as ‘false consciousness’ - the belief in ideas &
values as truths when in fact they are constructed
ideologies which support the ruling class.
The dominant ideology of a society is the ideology of
the dominant or ruling class.
