There are many. I just did a basic google search for: "Adam Smith" philosophy\nand The first site gave a lot of information about how he felt about workers, that they need to contribute their labor to benefit the state. Karl Marx's philosophies were very similar. Go ahead and do some basic searching of your own, and you'll have very little trouble with this assignment.

You will have to research Marxist history, Do not focus ont the revolts of 1848 in Europe, Focus on The Paris Commune of 1872, The Revolt of 1905 in Russia, and The Bolshevik revolt. I believe it originated in the Paris Commune. The other two revolts will tie in Vladimir Illich Ulaynov.(Lenin)

Hmm, does someone have a politcal theory midterm coming up?\n\nKant was largely a predecessor to Marx/Engels and was critisizing the same social structures they work and their inevitable ends of ruin. \n\nMachiavelli on the other hand was an advocate of the totalitarian ideal. Force makes right, but the quite "The ends justifies the means.", in itself is not correct. Even Niccolo would not entirely agree with that. \n\nTheir deep philophies are much to deep to get into because they were largely addressing different periods in political history.  Machiavelli was witnessing Roman decline and revolution, while Kant was witnessing the rise of the industrial revolution and its impacts upon the masses. \n\nIs there a specific topic you were intrested in like free will? social revolution or something?

For Karl Marx, the basic determining factor of human history is economics. According to him, humans — even from their earliest beginnings — are not motivated by grand ideas but instead by material concerns, like the need to eat and survive. This is the basic premise of a materialist view of history. At the beginning, people worked together in unity and it wasn’t so bad. \n\nBut eventually, humans developed agriculture and the concept of private property. These two facts created a division of labor and a separation of classes based upon power and wealth. This, in turn, created the social conflict which drives society. \n\nAll of this is made worse by capitalism which only increases the disparity between the wealthy classes and the labor classes. Confrontation between them is unavoidable because those classes are driven by historical forces beyond anyone’s control.

Marxist think everyone should be equal and contribute to the common good.  Sort of like if everyone worked for free because it is good for the community.  I suppose a high brow Marxist would think that this way of thinking is better than how somebody else would approach life.\n\nMarx wrote lots of stuff, but the Communist Manifest is interesting and a fairly short read.

I am talking in a economical sense. Politcally I do not how to answer your question. True communism requires equally distribution of capital. Socialism does not. Both have high levels of government ownership of industry.

If you are talking about the economist / theorist of the early 19th Century, you are thinking of Thomas Malthus.  (English, 1766-1834)\n\nMany science fiction books have been written based on his premises.

Karl Marx once said: "A house can be large or small; as long as the surrounding houses are equally small it satisfies all social demands.  But if a palace rises beside the little house, the little house shrinks into a hut."\n\nIn other words, the value one places on their own material possession is relative to how that individual perceives the value of of the material possessions of others.  \n\nThroughout history and in all societies, there has always been some notion that society can be divided into the "high" and "low" classes, and, Karl Marx held that the primary social division was between a "ruling class" and a working class.  \n\nCriminologists, for their part, evolved early on in history from being poverty researchers into becoming inequality researchers.  Poverty and inequality are not the same thing.  The last "poverty causes crime" criminologists were Guerry and Quetelet in France during the early 1800s, and perhaps a few Marxist-inspired criminologists in the early 1900s. \n\nThese three quotes are from the paper, “Poverty, inequality, and crime.” At:\n\nhttp://faculty.ncwc.edu/toconnor/301/301lect07.htm\n\nMarx concluded, the malefactor, the cause of all this limitless human misery, was the capitalist. His crime, felonious by all canons of human decency and fairness, was the unrecompensed piracy from the defenseless industrial workers of most of the wealth which they alone created. No plunder in history, said Marx, could compare with the enormity of the offense of the capitalist who, without working himself, appropriated the products of the worker, leaving the worker with only the minimum amount paid as "slave-wages" to keep him alive and to enable him to produce.\n\nThis is a quote from an article at:\n\nhttp://www.cesj.org/thirdway/almostcapitalist.htm\n\nMarx blamed the capitalist, the class distinctions, the unequalness of people.  He completely missed the point that the capital of the capitalist creates new wealth and jobs for others.  That such creation is a ladder which people can climb on their own initiative to better their lot in life.  Where Marxist concepts ruled, people (except for a ruling elite) dropped to the lowest common denominator.  Where capitalism flourished the average standard of life increased as did the opportunities for one to change the direction of their life.\n\nMarx’s theories are interesting but not realistic.

Try Fumio Hayashi's "Fundamental Economtetrics".  Used it in ECON 560 - 'Advanced Economics' last term and really liked it.  You might also want to look into a collection of essays on economic thought called 'Second Thoughts' by Williamson (I forget the first name, but looking that title up at your local library should produce the book).

You can do Nietzsche and Søren Kierkegaard.  Big difference.

Since you're obviously new to the game of rhetorical slandering, I'll go easy this time and offer a bit of advice:\n\nExamine closely which party most resembles the  Marxist doctrine, and try again.\n\n\nFozzy: if I could give thumbs up, I'd give you one.\nnice lesson.
