Question

Critically explain the theory of class struggle.

Answer 1

• Karl Marx rendered the theory of class-struggle.
• Its criticism can be done in following ways.
• Stress on exploitation : This theory indicates the method of exploitation from man to man. 
• Brith of hate : This principle sows the seed of hate.
• Encouragement to non-violence: This principle gives rise to violent revolution. 
• Principle of opposition : This is the principle of opposition in place of cooperation because this principle causes opposite feeling in labour class against capitalist class so that labour class can revolt against capitalists.
• Inspiration of organization : The theory of class struggle inspires labour class to form an organization against capitalist class.
• Lack of historicality : This class struggle is not proper from historical point of view. In this theory, stress is given on the continuity of rich and poor class. But in history, such example is not seen where we can see closeness between rich and poor.
• Fictitious society : This society will be founded after classless society. This statement of Marx is almost imaginary because after the destruction of capitalism there will be an organization of labours, this is not compulsory. 
• Destruction of capitalism is impossible : This opinion of Marx is not true that capitalism will destroy automatically after reaching on the summit of development. Even today, the existance of capitalism can be seen anywhere.
