Question

Compare the ideas of early socialist with with that of Maxists.​

Answer 1

hi dear!

The Utopians have imagined of a society which will have equality abolition of private property, no exploitation, no poverty. All these are ambitious economic goals. But, according to them, these are to be attained without changing the political system.

By appealing to the existing political authority and capitalists and adopting reforms all these economic objectives can be achieved. On this point Marx and Engels are at variance. First of all, the political structure is to be changed.

In a bourgeois set-up, workers cannot improve their economic lot. Moreover, the state is the instrument of exploitation. So it would be the first task of the proletariat to capture state power.
