    KARL MARX

    THE GERMAN
    IDEOLOGY
    IDEALISM AND
    MATERIALISM
    IDEALISM
    This is the view that the only reality is the ideal world. This
    would be the world of ideas.  It is the view that there is no
    external reality composed of matter and energy.  There are only
    ideas existing within minds.
    Idealism is the metaphysical view that associates reality to
    ideas in the mind rather than to material objects.  It lays
    emphasis on the mental or spiritual components of experience,
    and renounces the notion of material existence.
    FORMS OF IDEALISM
    • Skeptic idealism - starts with the thought that there is no
    proof that there are material objects outside of thought.   
    • Problematic idealism - is the belief held by Descartes where
    we can only hold one empirical truth, which is that it exist.
    • Dogmatic - starts with the assumption that there are no
    material objects outside of thought and the belief that space is
    an inseparable condition to all objects and that this space can't
    exist in itself. Thus it also says that all things in this space
    also can't exist and are merely images.
     Idealists regard the mind and spirit as the most
    essential, permanent aspects of one’s being.  The
    philosophical views of Berkeley, Christian science, and
    Hinduism embrace idealist thought as they relate it to
    the existence of a supreme, divine reality that
    transcends basic human understanding and inherent
    sensory awareness.- Omonia vinieris (2002)
    MATERIALISM
    Marx's theory, which he called "historical materialism"
    or the "materialist conception of history" is based on
    Hegel's claim that history occurs through a dialectic, or
    clash, of opposing forces. Hegel was a philosophical
    idealist who believed that we live in a world of
    appearances, and true reality is an ideal.
    Marx accepted this notion of the dialectic, but
    rejected Hegel's idealism because he did not accept that
    the material world hides from us the "real" world of the
    ideal; on the contrary, he thought that historically and
    socially specific ideologies prevented people from
    seeing the material conditions of their lives clearly.
    Marx's analysis of history is based on his distinction
    between the means of production, literally those things,
    like land and natural resources, and technology, that are
    necessary for the production of material goods, and the
    social relations of production, in other words, the social
    relationships people enter into as they acquire and use
    the means of production.
    Together these comprise the mode of production;
    Marx observed that within any given society the mode
    of production changes, and that European societies had
    progressed from a feudal mode of production to a
    capitalist mode of production.
    PROLETARIAN AND
    COMMUNISM
    PROLETARIAN
    • The people in a society who do not control
    production and must work in order to live, or the
    lowest social and economic group in a society.
    • The class of people who do unskilled jobs
    in industry and own little or no property.
    COMMUNISM
    Communism is a political and economic ideology
    that positions itself in opposition to liberal democracy
    and capitalism, advocating instead a classless system in
    which the means of production are owned communally
    and private property is nonexistent or severely
    curtailed.
