1) Throughout history, the state has served the interests of the dominant social classes, not the common good. The government and parliament are subordinated to the financial system and dominant classes.
2) Early human societies had collective ownership and no social classes or private property. Functions like defense and justice were shared by all. The development of social classes led to these functions being reserved for ruling minorities through the state.
3) Gramsci argued that the state encompasses both political society using coercion and civil society influencing ideology. True democracy and transforming capitalist states requires strengthening civil society organizations through a "war of position" rather than insurrection.Socialism

Socialism is an ideology that argues citizens are best served by policies that meet the basic needs of society rather than individuals. It originated in Western Europe in the 1800s as critics advocated for reforming the inequality of the Industrial Revolution through egalitarian wealth distribution and small communities without private property. Socialism aims to provide all citizens access to survival needs and care for those unable to participate economically. However, criticisms argue socialist economies may be inefficient and incompatible with civil liberties, and do not eliminate poverty despite redistributing some wealth.17. socialism

This document discusses the development of socialism and Marxism in response to the problems caused by industrialization in the 19th century. It outlines the ideas of utopian socialists like Fourier and Owen, before summarizing Karl Marx's scientific socialism which argued that capitalism would inevitably lead to revolution as the proletariat grew in size and oppression. It then discusses the varieties of socialism that emerged, including reform socialists, revolutionary Marxists, anarchists and syndicalists, as well as international socialist organizations like the First and Second Internationals. In conclusion, it examines the growth of socialist parties and unions in Germany and Britain in the late 19th century.Primitive communism and egalitarian society

Communism and socialism differ in their economic systems and political structures. Communism calls for public ownership of the means of production and the abolition of private property, along with a totalitarian government. Socialism allows for some private property and means of production can be owned by public enterprises, cooperatives, or individuals. Socialism can coexist with different political systems including participatory or parliamentary democracy.Dek Keenan - What do we mean by socialism?

Social stratification refers to a society's hierarchical arrangement of individuals and groups according to factors like wealth, income, occupation, education, and social prestige. It involves the classification of people into categories with varying access to resources and power. Major forms of stratification include primitive communalism, slavery, caste systems, and estates. Stratification exists due to various viewpoints including natural inevitability, structural functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interactionism. Stratified systems have characteristics like social rankings that can change, life experiences that depend on social category, and slow changing social ranks over time.Socio 101 group 3 - social stratification in the philippines

Karl Marx and Frederic Engels wrote the Communist Manifesto in 1848 arguing for socialism based on the conflict between social classes. They believed capitalism exploited workers and caused inequality, and that the government should control the economy to redistribute wealth more fairly. Their ideas promoted workers' rights and the overthrow of the bourgeoisie by the proletariat. Unions and reform laws attempted to address inequality and improve conditions for workers.Communism & Capitalism Notes

- Social stratification refers to a hierarchy based on property, power and prestige that exists in all societies. The major stratification systems are slavery, caste, estate and class.
- Karl Marx and Max Weber proposed different theories for what determines social class - Marx argued it is ownership of production means, while Weber argued it is a combination of property, power and prestige.
- Functionalists argue stratification is universal because societies must offer greater rewards to attract capable people to important positions, but conflict theorists see it as a result of elite groups struggling over limited resources.
- Nations can be divided into three groups based on industrialization - most, industrializing, and least industrialized, representing their relative property, power andGlobal stratification

Marxist theory analyzes society through three main levels: the infrastructure, structure, and superstructure. The infrastructure involves the basic economic relationships and production of resources. The structure consists of organizations like government and laws that arise from economic relationships. The superstructure comprises institutions like religion, culture, and education that influence people's consciousness. According to Marxist structuralism, it is the underlying economic structure that determines the nature of society, state institutions, and social relationships, not individual interests. The state and its legal system function to reproduce and ensure the long-term viability of capitalism, rather than serving short-term ruling class interests.Lecture 4 Evolution of Global Economies Capitalism, Adam Smith & Marxism

Karl Marx was a 19th century philosopher who developed theories about capitalism and communism. He believed that capitalism exploited workers and predicted it would be overthrown by the working class. Marx outlined the stages of societal development from primitive communism to capitalism to socialism and finally communism. Under communism, the government would own all property and resources equally distributed. However, applying communism proved difficult and often led to authoritarian governments with lack of individual economic freedom. While Marx's critique of capitalism raised important issues, real-world communist states struggled to achieve the classless, stateless society he envisioned.Lecture no. 6 marxism

In order to understand the problems which sociology tackles, we need to first understand the social context from which it arose. Discuss
When we discuss the emergence of sociology, it is vital to consider the social upheavals which were taking place prior to sociologys foundation. These unprecedented, sometimes violent, upheavals led to the transformation of the traditional social order; and to people seeking new explanations of their societies. Thus, this essay will discuss the three revolutions (in agriculture, industry and politics) that led to this birth of sociology as a new scientific discipline.
The agricultural revolution was the first upheaval to transform European society from a feudal to a capitalist social system, during the early eighteenth century. Under the feudal system, land ownerhship was established through hereditary rights which tied labourers to the land on which their ancestors had worked. The introduction of capitalism, however, saw these rights revoked and the peasants forced off the land on which they had worked and lived for generations. This movement came about once the lords realized that land could be used to generate profits, rather than for subsistence farming. And because sheep grazing (for profit) required fewer labourers, most peasants were then left with no land, and only their labour to sell for a wage.

, Overview of Theories
The relationship between individuals and
the society in which they are embedded has
been conceptualized in diverse ways and has
given rise to very different understandings of
how social reality is maintained and
reproduced over time. This chapter presents
an overview of major contemporary
approaches to sociology, their assumptions,
and the differences and similarities among
them. Their comparative strengths and
limitations are examined through critical
questions that sociologists, inspired by
different approaches, have directed toward
each other. Different perspectives start with
different problems, ask different questions,
see and ignore different things. It is import-
ant to try to see how they complement each
other, to learn to challenge the contradic-
tions, and thus to explore for the truth.
However deep t.he differences between
approaches, all share the same fundamental
concern with developing our knowledge of
the character of social life.

Labor unions formed to advocate for workers' rights and reforms gradually limited child labor and established safety standards through laws. The reform movement also sought to abolish slavery and fight for women's rights.Routledge encyclopedia hi
