"X" Marx the Spot

Karl Marx created the famous theory that class struggle is the basis for historical change as well as capitalism being overcome by communism and a classless society. Although his argument is not relative to today's day and age, his collective thoughts make for an obscure but questionable theory based on what was going on in the world at that time in history.

But the reality of the matter is that nothing worked, none of his theories were true. Well, if his prophesies are false, why do we still read and study about him? Because of simply this. It puts us in the mind of another being, behind the papers he wrote, and in the era he lived in. He helped expand the mind of economic choices and what they led up too. In his instance, he thought it would lead up to a dictatorship.

Middle class disappearance and growing class polarization were part of this theory. The polarization of classes means "the inevitable historical process of the class structure becoming increasingly polarized." These guesses turned out to be opposite of that he predicted. As we know now, the middle class is the largest class in the United Stated, so it obviously did not work out for him.  

He also tried to predict the middle class' end in poverty, which, even during his lifetime, was stated to be wrong. And finally, he came up with the thought that there would be a proletarian revolution. This is where the middle class would try to overthrow the so called 'bourgeoisie', which from what I've read is the higher class society and exploiters of the working class. His inevitable revolution never seemed to come around.  

Marx's theory works under the situation where the proletariat forces itself as ruler over the other classes (going against what our nation stands for). I'm sure he thought that the richer class would dictate because they were known to be more successful. But with the knowledge that the middle class was larger, it could have been the start of the revolution he was initially predicting. He was aware that a ruling needed to happen so that socialism would be in order.

And from socialism evolves communism. Similarities in both parties were the first recognition of dictatorship. Their motto's included the same will and act of what they stood for The socialists', "From each according to his ability, to each according to his work" to the communist slogan, "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs." Their ideology was to unite the workers of the world (in the said image above). The word 'socialism' was in fact taken over by Leninist-Stalinist socialism, which is now known as communism. All these ideas originated in democratic countries who wanted to open trade and work economics with other countries. What would've happened if we had stayed on the trail of socialism?

Their idea was for an alternative society that had been created through the process of Marx's theories and the act of creating socialism. Little did he know that he was missing key points to having a successful prediction.

Abortion: The Safe And Legal Way To Kill Your Child

"It's not the right time." "It was an accident." "Oh it was too early, we're too young to have a baby" say the young couple. Ironic right? What you call a mistake was actually ordained by God and it was your choice to do the deed knowing there could be consequences. Upon looking up Willie J. Parker, it was plain to see that he is very well-educated and invested into the lives of women planning to have an abortion. He claims to be a truth seeker amidst his day job as an abortion doctor. Maybe the truth he was searching for was an act from God that says its ok to continue in your works. Now his conviction makes it seem like he has changed.


Parker first off states that he was torn from his religious understanding and what he felt was right. From what he is contemplating, all he had in his heart was good intentions. But we know that our hearts can deceive us. If he was truly wanting to live a life according to God's will, he would've read the Bible on how Christ cherishes every life. Jeremiah 1:5 says, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."

One statement said by the interviewer would immediately set the tone of his whole stance, religious or not. "You concede in the book ("Life's Work") that abortion is, actually, a life-ending process." He could go two ways from here. Say yes, a fetus is a baby or no, it is not considered a life until after _blank_ weeks. But he goes to say, "A fetus is not a person; it’s a human entity." He lite-
rally just said a fetus is a human being. It says 'being' right there in the definition.

The feminist movement currently sweeps across our nation like a tidal wave. Most woman are furious that Trump wants an abortion ban in America and have called him every name including 'woman killer'. If anything, Trump is preventing killings by means of preventing woman to get an abortion. "Its my body, I can do what I want!" Parker wholeheartedly agrees with their cries of anger. He connects his heritage as a descendant of slaves to ownership of women's bodies, claiming to feel the same way they do. But we do not in fact have control of our bodies nor complete ownership, God does. I think Willie Parker would have known that being a converted believer.  

Clinics like Planned Parenthood give you the option to end what you have started, like a get out of jail free card. No consequence and no worry about caring for another human being. We need more places like A Woman's Friend, they offer help and advice, but they do not perform abortions. A woman can't keep 'hoeing' around and just expect to get an abortion if she gets pregnant, one time or anytime. That person shouldn't be allowed to have their own choice.

Or would they stop to say, "well my mother could've done whatever she wanted." It's not like they would have a say in the matter then huh.
