Marxism

Karl Marx argued that capiltalism based on the profit motive and that under capitalism, profits are generated by expliting workers. Marx believed that capitalist society is divided into two two social classes

The working class, or proletariat, who sell their labour and do not own the means of production.
The bourgeoisie, who own the means of production and employ the proletariat. The bourgeoisie may be further subdivided into the wealthy bourgeoisie who dont need to work themselves and the petty bourgeoisie who employ others, but also work themselves.

Why i am a Marxist
I am a Marxist because i believe that social class has an impact on how far you get in life and wealth seems to determine your intelligence. Although not only are some discouraged by class but also by gender, which infact makes it even harder.
