2 Karl Marx and Vedas varnas are not different from each other. We
started the society welfare where the rulers listened to the scholars who
listened to the traders who wanted the workers to get along with them.
Chtur varna Brahman, shatriya a, Vysya and shudra are only to prevent the
class ar.Karl advocated the same and as varnasrama failed so too the Karl
theory.
3 According to Marxism, the whole history of societies is brought about
by class conflicts. He says that these class struggles are a law of history
and the main engine that pushes changes in economic development. Marx
explains that class conflict is present in any society that has different
social classes because these classes are in a continuous battle for the
means of production. Marx believed that every society contains different
social classes and that the means of production are always the point of
competition between these classes. This competition results in the division
of social classes in society.
Two main classes exist in a capitalist economic structure: the bourgeois,
or business owners, and the proletariat, also known as workers. The
bourgeois owns the means of production, ( all 3 varnas) while the
proletariat turns materials into finished products. Being the owners of the
modes of production, the bourgeois is the class that wields economic power
and has more political influence. The proletariat is neither wealthy nor
politically influential.( shudras) This imbalance in power allows the
bourgeois to keep the proletariat under their control and dictate the rules
of their relationship.
Marx identified four stages( chatur varnas) that a society undergoes in its
ability to produce. ( Chamakam in Rig vedam pleads for the production
safety etc only for all) The first stage is *primitive communism*, (shudras)
wherein tribal societies (shudras) cooperate to keep their collective
production going. The next stage is the *slave society*, wherein tribal
city-states come into being and give rise to the aristocracy.( trading
money pouring vysyas) This is followed by the third stage, called
*feudalism*, in which the ruling class ( kshatriyas takes the reign to
capture the powers of food and economy) is the aristocrats, and the traders
become the bourgeois.(kshatriyas and the vysyas) The final stage is
*capitalism*, characterized by the capitalists’ domination, who dictate the
nature of work and compensation that the proletariat has to accept.(Here
the Brahmins step in by their knowledge to control the subjects all
together and propagate devices of religions and rituals as controllers;
virtual and real power do clash; whether church vs Kings or Priests vs
kings) Marx did not claim to have unlocked the mystery of human history but
instead explained that his thoughts were based only on a serious
examination of real situations in Europe.
Marx states that capitalism’s main feature is commodities, which can
be divided into goods and services. He says that in a capitalist system,
workers are mere commodities offered on the market. Whether they are
against this situation or not, workers are helpless because they lack
political influence and do not control the modes of production, which
include machines and raw materials. Moreover, workers can be easily
substituted with other workers during difficult economic times. Marx
further states that business owners always provide minimal salaries to
workers. This enables the business owners to squeeze out the maximum amount
of effort from workers and, simultaneously, increase their profits. The
foundation on which the capitalist system rests is the same foundation on
which slavery is based. Both are established on exploitation, imposed by
the smaller, more powerful social class on the larger but weaker one. On
top of these, business owners take the added value that is the inevitable
result of the workers’ efforts. Then they sell the products on the mass
market, separating them from the lives of those who work to produce them.
This separation of the products of labor from the laborers is the central
meaning of the often-used term in Marxism — “alienation.”
The Architecture of Capitalism, According to Marxism
------------------------------
Business owners are perpetually devising new ways to keep and accumulate
more power against the working class. Meanwhile, the authorities in
government, who portray themselves as the high priests of economic growth,
implement the desires of the business owners because they hold the means of
production. And so, this is how political power uses laws and rights to
keep the present imbalance intact. According to Marxism, the media plays
down the imbalance of power and instead promotes the merits of capitalism.
At the same time, the religion of the state offers fantasies of divine
rewards and punishment to ease the pains of the workers and calm them down
and accept the existing situation. The perpetuation of capitalism is also
strengthened by banks who step in and rescue the bourgeois every time a
financial crisis threatens them.
The Social Classes
------------------------------
Marxism lists different social classes based on who owns the modes of
production and who controls the labor force.
*The Proletariat*
This class sells their labor capacity on the market in exchange for basic
wages to attain the basics of existence. This class has no ownership of
equipment and resources to start production independently. In a capitalist
system, the proletariat is used by the bourgeois to create an excess value
on the products of labor that is higher than the proletariat’s salary.
*The Lumpenproletariat*
This is a class made up of people who lie outside society’s accepted
circles. These are prostitutes, criminals, and beggars. They are not
concerned with the power imbalance and have no stake in any political
upheavals. This class is unaware of its own class and will not participate
in the inevitable revolution.
*The Bourgeoisstrong*
This class holds the means of production and therefore wields economic
power and political influence. Being the holder of power, it subjugates the
proletariat under its dictates of working conditions and limited wages.
*The Petite Bourgeois*
The petite bourgeois is made up of people who work and, at the same time,
can pay for labor. This class is exemplified by trade workers and small
business operators.
*Landlords*
This is a social class that owns considerable power and wealth.
*Farmers*
Like the lumpenproletariat, the members of this class are widely dispersed
and do not have the ability to initiate social or economic change. Some
members may eventually become proletariat, while others may become
landowners.
Marxism defines class consciousness as a social group’s awareness of its
characteristics and its capability to achieve its needs. A class can
initiate a social revolution against the existing power structure only if
it is aware of its existence and situation as a social class.
Social Revolution
------------------------------
Marx asserted that the capitalist system is an instrument one social class
uses to exploit a weaker social class. Business owners, or the bourgeois,
engage in this exploitation by providing only poor wages to the
proletariat, ensuring that the proletariat will only have the basic
finances to carry on with their basic existence. This way, the workers will
not have any financial momentum to improve their lives. On the other hand,
the proletariat unavoidably forms feelings of hostility towards the
bourgeois. They feel they are an integral part of the production process
and deserve a larger wage. On top of this, they feel that their work
degrades them and only enables them to survive one day at a time.
Eventually, the proletariat will feel the necessity to overthrow the
power-holders, the business owners, by rising and starting a social
revolution. When one social class is concerned with the accumulation of
capital and power while the other is burdened with survival, revolution
necessarily follows.
Marxism claims that a social class’ amount of control over the modes of
production is the root of the conflict. Marxism argues that there is no
other way to eliminate the existing imbalance of power except through
revolution.
According to Marx, the capitalist system is bound to destroy itself. He
expressed this in a powerful way when he stated that the bourgeois is
digging its own grave. Large companies would eventually buy small
companies, and this would make way for a monopoly. When this happens, only
a small part of the population will have control of production. At the same
time, the rest of the population will not have the capacity to buy the
capitalists’ products. Marx said that the proletariat cannot endure its
miseries forever and would eventually rise up and take control of the means
of production. After this revolution achieves its purpose, the common
ownership of the modes of production would then be put in place. As a
result, a socialist economic structure would be set in place of the old
system. The new system will run not on the competition for increased
profits but on cooperation to achieve the improvement of human lives.
Conclusion: Never the power will remain with the dharma in getting
along with the peace of the society. By rejecting the varnasrama as well as
Marx, all nations are facing the variety (virility) of the powers only. KR
