Marx And Arendt's Analysis

The signing of the Declaration of Independence and Constitution, as well as winning the war itself had shown other nations that it was possible to throw off old regimes, ones that no longer worked for the people. This effect was particularly profound on the French. French soldiers returned from America to France to see a monarchy, much like Britain, that did not favor anyone who was not part of the upper class ("Impact of Revolution on Other Nations"). This was one of the causes of the French Revolution in 1788-1789. This shows how the eyes of the world were on the United States after the revolution, and this was a change for the

The primary goal of the French was to end the old government and rebuild a new one. Meanwhile, Haiti was trying to eliminate an oppressor and enslavement. These are two different focuses, and although they have influenced each other, they have no deep connections. France’s government in 1774 was an absolute monarchy represented by King Louis XVI. There was a great imbalance of power between the rich and the poor that lead the lower classes to revolt.

However, for Lenin the working class was incapable of achieving socialism and then communism without leaders. The transition from capitalist society, developing towards a communist society, is impossible without a ‘political transition period’ ” (6). We can see these stages that occur after capitalism: socialism and communism in Zamyatins’ We when D-503 refers to the ancient world. However, Lenin makes the observation that it is impossible to refer to the ancient contemporary world when factors are still brought up in the present “rationale” period. For Lenin the jump from capitalism to communism was effortless because they were essentially the same thing with different labels leading to the next idea of never ending revolutions: “The replacement of bourgeoisie by the proletariat is impossible without a revolution” (5).

Rousseau’s argument that empathy is missing from a reasoned society is evident all around us, yet our educational institutions, workforce and government reward the ambitious. Perhaps we can eliminate the chains we have put upon ourselves, but societal institutions provide no incentives to do so. 5 Points 1. Rousseau emphasizes the illegitimate social power of domination and its source in economic inequality. The author takes the position that these issues are under authorized by political theories.

“If, in a state that lacked constitutional balance, one class or one interest gained control…. It would plunder all interests (Hofstadter 57).” This shows the fathers knew social classes had to stand for a reason. Without social classes the population would slowly turn into a communist government by demanding equal assets. The rich have to stay rich and the poor must stay poor, otherwise there may be an uprising. “....fearful the poor would plunder the rich… (they) admitted that the rich, unrestrained, would also plunder the poor (Hofstadter 57).” One class can not have too much power because it would lead to an anarchy.

For those reasons, the practice of socialism must be limited to only in times of national security, but it must be guided in caution as the government 's influence can manipulate its citizens. As a citizen, one must defend the integrity of the United States by speaking up in times of atrocities when the government is against one’s liberties and rights to the Constitution. The “Price of Victory” was beneficial for the war efforts, but ultimately it was at the price of

This unjust society not only hurts individuals within it, it hurts itself. Though a just society of this type may sound like an impossible utopia, many countries and philosophers have made strides in trying to attain this equity among their people. Socialism is one extreme, but positive idea that attempts to be just by supplying people with the freedoms necessary for success. While America tries to create equality by helping the economically disadvantaged, socialists try to create equity by getting rid of economic

The Oprah Ideology spiritualizes economic and political issues because it focuses on the positive side of the situation, rather than the negative. Instead of dwelling on our failures, the Oprah Ideology states that we need to take action and responsibility to ensure a better future for ourselves. The Oprah Ideology makes the American Dream seem attainable. Individualism of capitalism is when individual good choices can positively change the negative consequences of capitalism. Capitalism remains unchanged when these tactics are combined because people who work hard for their goals and adapt to the changing world will succeed, whereas those who don’t will likely not

This system was too inefficient and oppressed to many people. Philosophies of enlightenment are what set the flame to begin the rebellion. Brains of John Locke, and Montesquieu were throwing out their philosophies. The French people wanted to redesign their countries policies and century old institutions and ideals such as absolute monarchy and the feudal system. Similarly to the American Revolution the French were influenced by the ideals of enlightenment such as popular sovereignty.

Also, in communism, everyone would supposedly be equal. That would work in a perfect society. However, no matter how much people have tried, and will continue to try, there has been, and always will be discrimination and bigotry because human emotions cannot allow true equality to exist. Finally, in The Communist Manifesto, Marx argued that private property stifled motivation to work in a non-communist society. Nonetheless, the abolishment of private property would actually be one of the major causes of laziness and lack of enthusiasm in a communist society.
