Marxism can be thought of as a philosophy of learning to see the world in terms of this allegedly self-perpetuating, stable social cycle and then destabilizing it and seizing the means of its production in order to redirect it toward the desired end, Communism, which Marx believed captures Man’s true nature as a fully social “species-being,” from which he has been estranged by the division of society caused by the establishment of a special form of property and a myth of privileged access to it (for him, the division of labor and private property).
