Marxing Capitialism

When Karl Marx speaks of capitalism, not everything he says is bad like one might think. Instead, Marx finds some benefits to capitalism. One of the perks he finds is that capitalism helps release countries from the grips of feudalism and other states of poverty by increasing infrastructure and making it possible for anybody to earn money. Marx also gives praise for capitalism and the fact that it released the global economy and made way for rapid development across the world. He even says that capitalism helped paved the way for the modern industrial era, brought forth by the wrold-trade that was quickly developing due to the discovery of America. However, here the praise stops as quickly as Marx had started. He quickly shows that all these good things had extremely negative effects on the social environment of the world. While feudalistic societies were eliminated, they just created larger class issues. Anybody could earn money, but not everyone was able to earn the same amount of money. When Marx claims that larger class issues were created, he is speaking of the fact that individual class battles did not disappear. Instead, they were absorbed into the larger problem that began to face people. High, middle, and low classes developed and mobility between classes was limited. He complains that the low class people got stuck in there position. No matter how hard they tried, the fact that they were low class meant that they were only ever awarded low-paying, menial jobs. Marx pointed this out as a downfall of capitalism.
