Marx and socialism

Socialism is the ideology that land and money should not be owned by individuals but should be common property. Communal ownership can also be considered as the ownership of that money and land by a democratic government. This is not possible in countries where democracy is not in place.

The commons can also be the property of a group of men and women who are not ruled by power or authority. These groups are independent associations. This is the Anarchist view.

Some socialists believe that such a common property can be achieved gradually. Others believe that it can be achieved immediately by a revolution. The way they think it can be achieved gradually is by the method of gradually bringing one type of occupation into common property. Some socialists believe that all land and all money should be owned by the poor people. Others believe that even if they do not own all of it, it does not matter if the private sector is large enough to control them, because some of it is still private. All socialists agree on the elimination of all private ownership, all private ownership of money, and all work, and that democracy is the way.

Socialists, anarchists, and syndicalists are all essentially socialists. They differ only in the democratic system they favor.

Orthodox Socialists, who call themselves "Orthodox Socialists," advocate a parliamentary democracy, which involves the use of parliament in the government and attempts to improve the rights of the poor. They are called parliamentary socialists.

Their belief is that the flaws found in this administration will disappear with the disappearance of the moneylenders.

The Anarchists and the Syndicalists, however, reject all means of government. Their desire is to improve the condition of the masses in some way. But they are all those who want to eliminate the situation of superiority and inferiority, of the few having more rights and the many having less rights. In this they are all in agreement. They are those who seek only to make the wage-earners better off. They believe that the work of hire and hire is an oppression of the poor, and they are those who try to eliminate this bad condition by making all jobs, all land, all money, the property of the poor.

However, there are many differences within this ideology. It would not be wrong to say that the power of socialism was the influence that emerged with the help of the man called Marx. It is true that socialist ideas existed in England and France even before that person appeared. During the French Revolution (1848), socialism also emerged with great influence. But it did not last long. At that time, socialists only did impossible thoughts, ideas, and works and did not become a stable political party.

The present socialism has become a solid ideology thanks to the efforts of these two men, Marx and Engels. This ideology was so popular and logical that it spread throughout Europe and America, and even became a large foreign socialist organization. The International Socialist Movement developed over the course of fifty years.

To fully understand Marx's socialism, it is necessary to know the origins of Marx's ideology. He was born in 1818 in Trier, Rhineland. His father was a Jewish lawyer and a nominal Christian. Marx studied law, philosophy, politics, and history in various German universities. He was particularly fond of the ideas of the famous philosopher Hegel, and his ideas were influenced by them. Marx believed that changes in the world are caused by a change in one state of affairs to another, according to the law of cause and effect.

This change was not a gradual process of evolution. It was a complete change all at once. However, there were also some differences with Hegel. Especially in his old age, he abandoned some of Hegel's ideas. He excelled in school. He could have become a rich and powerful official or a great scientist. However, his political views and political passions forced him to do hard socialist work.

In 1842 he became editor of a newspaper. His newspaper was banned by the Prussian government for its opinions. He then went to France and acquired the name of Socialist. He also adopted the methods of his predecessors, the French Socialists. In 1845 he was expelled from Paris and went to Brussels with Engels. The socialists and the Anarchists were not self-seekers. They were people who wanted the world to be better and who suffered. Their writings were more full of hatred than of love for people. Therefore, we are speaking the truth and deliberately resisting it, and so there is a tone of hatred. The pride that is aroused by knowledge is not without its own.

He organized a German Workers' League in Brussels and published a newspaper. Through this work, the German Communist League in Paris heard about him. In January 1848, at the request of the League, he co-authored and published the Communist Manifesto with Engels. This was the first appearance of Marx's system.
