Marx follows Hegel to a certain extent. For Marx, Hegel is correct in claiming that a driving dynamic of human history has been the relationship between the bourgeoisie (owners) and proletariat (workers). Marx saw the factory owner as a kind of master, the factory worker as a kind of slave. Today we are told that we are in a post-industrial or the information age....Do you also think If it does, is his forecast of a workers’ revolution likely? If not, why not?
I just had class and this topic was quite interesting so I would like to know what others think!
