Question

What the video "Political theory" by Karl Marx The School of life: According to your objective analysis of the video, what good, if any, can be derived from Marx’s theories?

Answer 1

Good that can be derived from Marx’s theories include the development of an understanding that the exploitative nature of the relationship between capitalist employers and their employees is applicable even today as it is present in various forms in our society. The proletariat or those without property, today also seek employment from those with the property. The capitalist class has a decisive influence over the government and sufficient control over the supply of labor. The gap between the rich and the poor is still widening even in the USA. Education is helping the rich, especially in the USA as only the rich have the resources to get educated and find a job, which the poor cannot afford.
