Essay / Analysis of the writing of the Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx
Capitalists have their own idea of justice that suits their own needs and desires, obviously ignoring the working class. This leads the wage-earning class to form its own conception of justice, as Cohen points out: “The exploited class…the proletariat develops a conception of justice different from that which prevails and arrives at a negative evaluation of the existing distribution of productive wealth and income. » (Cohen, M. 2014) In addition to this, Husami states: “it is valid… for the proletariat and its spokespeople to criticize capitalist distribution using proletarian standards of justice. Marx…offers such a critique. (Husami, 1978). Through this argument, he shows that Marx condemned capitalism as unjust from the point of view of employees. Marx was adamant that the capitalist state was only beneficial to those individuals who were able to exploit it to reach the top of the social ladder.
