As I alluded to in my last post, we have been discussing Marxism in class recently, which has many connection to today's world. Although not many, if any at all, nations are Marxist country's, almost every society has some piece of Marxism within it. For example; since Marx released his ideas, we have been witness to communist nations (famously Russia, China, North Korea, and Cuba), socialist nations (Sweden and other Scandavian countries, as well as other countries), and even capitalist countries that have some fragments of Marxism. The idea of Marxism, is a social and economic system that is primarily known for its lack of classes. Sounds similar to both Communism and Socialism. Obviously, nations that use these religions two systems take a lot from Marxism, but nations who follow capitalism (which is the system that sparked the rebellion of Marxism) also have take some ideas from the system. For example, there are many groups in our country that argue that more Marxist ideas should be implemented and there are some Liberal ideas, like affordable health care, better public education, raising the minimum wage, and trying to lower the wealth gap, that, in my opinion, relate to Marxism directly. As I said in my last post, I'm not sure if Marxism could work (there are some examples of socialism being successful and some examples of communism being totel failures), but the idea is quite interesting to me. In our country specifically, there are many people who would stand behind Marxism, and say that if it were to be implemented properly, it would work successfully... and there are many people who believe that it is utter balogna. I think it is pretty obvious that the topic of Marxism is both interesting and intriguing to me, and I believe that it has a multitude of connection to the real world today.
