Emotional Enlightenment
December 31, 2021 | By Hannah Turner, BK ‘23+1
The concepts Karl Marx did not grasp led to the downfall of communism, but may also lead to the magnification of our societal understanding. He believed that there must be an enlightenment of the proletariat for the realization of the bourgeoisie’s exploitation of them. A revolt would follow. Finally, once the proletariat is in control of the state, a communist society would be born. Everyone would live, “from each according to his ability, to each according to his need.”
