Karl Marx argued that capiltalism based on the profit motive and that under capitalism, profits are generated by expliting workers.

Marx believed that capitalist society is divided into two two social classes

• The working class, or proletariat, who sell their labour and do not own the means of production
• The bourgeoisie, who own the means of production and employ the proletariat. The bourgeoisie may be further subdivided:
• Wealthy bourgeoisie who dont need to work themselves
• Petty bourgeoisie who emply other, but also work themselves.
  

The reason why i think i am a marxist is because i beleive in the capitalist society, as other people must work under more powerful people tom live their lives in society today. Someone has to be in charge in order for the society to remain civil or everything will be out of control and no rules or norms would be followed or obeyed. The rulling class have somewhat power over the media and control what people beleive in. However, its up to the public, shows how easily maipulated some audiences can be.
