Abstract (2. Language):
This article explores the history of the renowned world economic and
political reformist, Karl Marx with a special focus on the social class
concept. It also discusses to what extent that the Marx’s concept of social
class struggle is capable to provide a way out to the proletariats, to free
themselves from the chains of cruelty, violence and alienation in the
capitalist system. Our main focal point is to scrutinize the relationship
between the concepts of social class struggle and the need for a social
revolution as a catalyst for the formation of a classless society. Along the
way, we studied and analyzed the documents produced on the primary
sources covering major works of Marx and the secondary sources consisting
reviews of the Marx’s class concept. As a result, we found out that Marx’s
concept of class fight is competent to represent the oppressed group to
battle for their freedom rights. The Proletariat dictatorship attitude was
used as their main shield to face the threat of the capitalist class. Marx’s
ultimate success is realized through a burst of ideas and beliefs that
supports the ideas of egalitarian Communism although many
contradictions arise between the ideas of Marx and the 20th centuries
Communism when they are translated into practice.
