Page 46 - THE PATH

COMMUNIST UTOPIANISM

Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels are the founding

fathers of communism. They saw communism as the

ultimate social system in which people would be happy
and content. The perfection of this new society is

contained in its main definition: “Work as much as you

please and take as much as you need!”
Communist utopians did not apply dialectical

realism in their study and analysis of the society. Their

main weakness was that their analysis of the capitalist and

workers’ class was rigid and fixed.
The capitalist and the worker are variable

categories, soft and changeable elements. Has it not ever

happened that a capitalist bankrupted and a worker

became a capitalist?
Karl Marx’s work Das Kapital is in fact critique of

capitalism but he does not offer any correct and normal

solutions of the problem.
