This is a section of my site that is under construction. In this
section of the site the cotton industry is followed from the 1600's.
>From the time that land was taken out of cultivation to be able to
bleach new cloth on the fields, since the sun was the only bleaching
agent (no chemicals) this took months. This section will go up through
economics and more.

Impressions on the life and times of Karl Marx
1) Karl Marx lived in a time when technology was having an
major impact on an individuals productivity and
standard of living. What he saw was that while machines were
increasing the standard of living, the workers that
ran the machines were living at substance level. Believing that
the cause was the territorial aristocratic nobles and
their belief of territory at the expense of business, Marx termed
territory accumulation as capitalistic. He thought
that a state should be based on business and corporations instead
of territory or individuals and that any threat to
productivity should be eradicated. Threats to business were
national pride or any other oaths or commitments
outside of the business.
2) Inventions like the printing press, gas lamps, electricity,
indoor plumbing, and machine woven cloth were
increasing the standard of living and domestic productivity while
making money for the businesses that produced
them. Marx saw that the biggest market for these items would be
the common worker, yet the common worker
seldom had the money to buy and considered many of the new
inventions, luxuries. Visualizing a way for
businesses to keep production up in the face of technological
change that would require a business to buy the
new machine to stay competitive, Marx hit on a plan to have state
run businesses.
3) If a nations priorities were based on business instead of
religion, national pride, or individual rights, Marx
believed that the average worker would reap the benefits of
technology. Up to this time tithes and taxes to the
aristocracy and church took up a large portion of the workers
extra money, if that extra money were to go to
buying the products produced by machines then the business could
buy more machines. He figured that the
cheaper that product could be made then the more would be sold of
the product. If a workers loyalty were to
the business instead of family, national pride or religion then
they would support the state business and give their
best work, which would ultimately result in a less expensive
product that the worker could buy too.
4) Marx defined territorial aristocratic nobles with landed
titles as capitalistic. He also saw education as
making workers dissatisfied with their lot and a potential waste
of time for many since all they would need to
know is how to use the new items. Except for a few skilled
workers to keep the machines running, education
that might lead to individual dissatisfaction and strikes was
discouraged. A blind obedience and belief was
required for a business to keep up in the face of changing
technology.
To make sure that the state's business was business instead of
territory or anything else that would threaten the
businesses productivity, any idea of individual worth would have
to be changed. Threats to business were
national pride or any other oaths or commitments outside of the
business. The worker's first priority would have
to be making money by working and family or any other activities
outside of the business would only be allowed
if they did not conflict with the business. Any sense of self
worth, self confidence, or self discipline would be
decided and defined by the state business.
5) What this has led to in the present day is a country where
the only real accomplishment that an individual
can achieve is in the arts or sports. The art is technically
perfect but sometimes lacks originality or
spontaniousness since to not be perfect mean that the person may
lose their standing and have to find another
career field. New thoughts or philosophies that are discouraged
since they may endanger the state. Education
or knowledge of how the human body operates that may increase a
individual workers worth is discouraged.
6) Marx's state philosophy has resulted in a country run by
people that often see no worth in natural products.
Unless the item can be made by a company or mass produced it has
no value. An example might be instead of
farmers saving seed to grow next years crop, that the farmer would
have to buy a special company seed.
Problems with this philosophy gradually happen because of the
strangle hold on education and new ideas, since
the business is based on new technology to be able to build a new
improved item that the worker needs to buy.
Gradually the state business would have to rely on other countries
for new ideas and machines.
7) Eventually the lack of worker education and ideas will
topple the business, and when the business does
attempt to start education it will have rampet plagiarism because
the workers are taught to work together at the
machines pace. This means that any worker having a different pace
from their peer group will stand out, since
workers do not compete against their own work they have a natural
metronome in the shape of a machine that
will slow them down or speed them up. State workers are not used
to the stop and go pace of education that
required the individual to have their own motivation. State
workers have never had to set their own pace, they
have always had other workers or the state defining the pace.
They have not had to compete against their own
previous work, so they end up competing against others. The
overall level of the peer group gradually
deteriorates since anyone that sets a faster pace or a higher
standard is messing with the type of flow these
workers are used to.
N O T E S
My interpretation of Marx, is that his ideas are not self
sustaining, and eventually the state company will
deteriorate
that all self worth is derived from doing as well as if not better
than the next worker. The workers do not attempt
to better themselves because to do so would mean that the assembly
line would not run smoothly, stay at the
level of your peers, do not do or think differently than your
peers.
During the time of Karl Marx the majority of people in England
were workers and their standard of living
depended on the merchant class more than the aristocracy.
Marx attempted to figure out have progress could continue in the
best interest of all people.
Technology was leading to increased productivity.
Plagues, sickness, religion and family problems made machines seem
to have greater reliability than people. -
better investment
Bottlenecks to business would have been nationalism or laws that
gave individual people rights greater than the
merchant. the laws of the country.
He believed that a country's priority should be in taking care of
businesses above the interest of territory or
people. That taking care of the businesses would take - the rest
would take care of it's self.

was the church would control / run things better than capitalist
or noble control.
Marx seemed to believe that merchants could control a countries
economies better than territorial nobility.
