of ideology is to legitimize those forces in a position of hegemony‚ it tends to obfuscate the violence and exploitation that often keep a disempowered group in its place (from slaves in tribal society to the peasantry in feudal society to the proletariat in capitalist society). The obfuscation necessarily leads to logical contradictions in the dominant ideology‚ which Marxism works to uncover by returning to the material conditions of a society: a society’s mode of production.

class relationships. Marx posited that there are two main classes in any capitalist society‚ the bourgeoisie and the proletariat‚ and that the two classes are defined by their relationship to resources specifically the means of production.

Karl Marx’s claim that capitalism is important to human development but must be overcome and a system put into place that would eventually evolve into communism is unrealistic. Although the idea of communism‚ a social system designed to promote a classless society where everyone is truly equal and social problems such as racism‚ sexism and oppression do not exist‚ would be favourable to a capitalist society‚ it is unachievable as it doesn’t comprehend an individuals personal desire‚ the labour classes
