First of all we should clearly keep in mind that marx only focuses on the economy and divided the society on the basis of the economy...
Marxist political power....
Marx belive the there is only limited power in society and it is accessible by only few people or by few group ( e.g., ministers)
Marx said that in capitalism capitalist class hold the power and exploit the working class...
( Companies exploit the workers )
Marx believed that the structure if the society is determined by the nature of its economy.
Capitalist, socialist.
In capitalist the capitalisy class holds the power and regulate workers according to their will. And thats why the many countris have power only in few hands.
To
Marxist says that the rulling class can impose their ideology on the working class and the working class can believe that this is true if it is against their interest. ( False conciousness)
E.g we are just following the rich people in our society and without thinking they arr doing culturally right or wrong we are adopting their culture..
Critics...
1. The companies run by the shareholders and the share are owned by the many many middle class people so it is wrong to say that the capitalist class is holding the power. ( Managers also)
2. Only emphasis on the economy not on the biological differences..
