Paper Abstract: His concept of historical materialism. Rise of capitalist society of divided classes and alienated individuals. Concept of class conflict and alienation leading to violent revolution; dictatorship of the proletariat and formation of ideal socialist society. Marx's focus on critique of capitalist society. Criticisms of Marx by modern theorists. Failure of Communism. Paper Introduction: The Marxian model of society is based on the concept of historical materialism, which gives rise eventually to a capitalist society of starkly divided classes and alienated individuals whose relationships are based on the mode of production. Marx sees society as a material entity which evolves from crude to more refined means of production, with ever greater gaps of wealth and power between the owner and worker classes, and individuals suffering from greater alienation as they become commodities themselves in the means of production. The alienation and class conflict eventually becomes so severe that violent revolution occurs, led by enlightened workers, and resulting in the dictatorship of the proletariat, which gives way to the ideal socialist society. Marx focuses more on his critique of capitalistic society Text of the Paper: The entire text of the paper is shown below. However, the text is somewhat scrambled.
