Communism
Marx thought all of history
is a STRUGGLE between
haves and have nots.

11. Primitive Communism:
this is how humans
first lived together –
in small tribes.
Primitive means
‘not very advanced’ e.g. hunting and gathering.
Communism means that everything was shared
amongst the tribe –food, jobs, belongings. No
one owned land.

12. Primitive Communism
•as seen in cooperative tribal societies
–everyone would share in what was
produced by hunting and gathering
–no private property
–primitive society produced no surplus
–few things that existed for any length of time were
held communally
–there would have been no state

13. Slave Society
•when the tribe becomes a city-state. Aristocracy is born
–Systematic exploitation of labour
–Compelled to work for another
–held against their will from the time of their capture, purchase,
or birth
–deprived of the right to leave, to
refuse to work, or to receive
compensation in return for their
labour

14. Slave Societies = Greeks & Romans,
this is the beginning of class struggle
between the
haves and have
nots.

15. The king becomes the ruler over all
the people. He gives land and
privileges to ‘nobles’ who rule the
people for him. The people are
kept uneducated and told that God
chose the king to rule. The church
helps the king this way. As trade
develops, some people get richer.
This leads to Capitalism…..

16. Feudalism
•aristocracy is the ruling class
•Merchants develop into capitalists
–derived from the Latin word feodum
–composed of a set of reciprocal legal
and military obligations among the warrior
nobility
–revolving around the three key concepts
•lord
•Vassals
•fiefs

17. Capitalism
•ruling class, who create and employ the true working class
–Economic system in which the private ownership of property
is protected by law
–mode of production characterized by
•predominant private ownership of the means of production
• distribution and
•exchange in a mainly market
economy

18. •has been dominant in the Western world
since the end of feudalism
•provided the main, but not exclusive, means
of industrialization throughout much of the
world Capitalism

19. Capitalism creates a huge
working-class of people
who soon get angry at the
way they are treated. They
organize in unions and
demand changes. This will
lead to a revolution and
Socialism…

20. Socialism
•Dictatorship of the Proletariat
•workers gain class consciousness
•share the belief that capitalism
unfairly concentrates power
•achieved via class struggle and
a proletarian revolution which
represents the transitional stage between capitalism and
communism

21. Communism
•classless and stateless society
•socioeconomic structure and political ideology •based
on common
ownership of the means
of production and
property in general

23. The Prophecy
•Revolution would be preceded by a series of
intensifying crisis
•Goods would be produced
which the impoverished
proletariat could not afford
to buy
•More workers would be
forced out of work because
their laborwas not needed

24. The Prophecy
•This would drive wages down further
•Lessen the ability of people to buy the products of
capitalism
•Enterprises would collapse and be
swallowed by larger organization in
the centralization of capital
