Marxism is a Philosophy
The main differences will be explained here.
One of these systems comes about organically, while the other is contrived.
The Tenets of Marxism
Lets start with Marxism, Marxism it is a philosophy. It came from the mind work of Carl Marx.
He wrote The Communist Manifesto in 1848.
Marxism is a political, economic and social system.
The Tenets of this philosophy are mainly that society is divided by social classes.
That there are two main classes, which he calls the bourgeoisie, and the proletariat.
The bourgeoisie being the business people, and the proletariat being all of the working class people.
The main tenet of Marxism, is that the business owners take advantage of the working class people.
While Marxism may seem innocent enough, it is actually controlled by those at the top.
Capitalism
Capitalism with all of its faults actually comes about organically. That’s because it comes about by individuals exchanging of values.
With capitalism you share your abilities with others for a price. Originally it would have been trading item for item.
An example of a problem with this monetary system arrives when one wants to trade something that is more valuable for something of lessor value. This is where money came into existance. Using money instead of direct trading is much more desirable.
Since money earned can be broken into smaller increments, which makes trading much easier to do.
The Winners and the Losers
The issues come about when those who understand the system can take advantage of the system and subsequently earn more since they understand how the system works. Its really that simple those who understand the system can take advantage of that knowledge and get rich.
Many people not understanding what is happening they may become agitated with those who do and do enjoy the benefits of that understanding.
Slick politicians have always attempted to use this lack of understanding by the average person to cause a division between these classes of people, because it’s easy to do.
There you have it in a nutshell.
