marx and tocqueville

Marx and deTocquiville To understand what Marx and deTocquiville ;two of the great social thinkers of all time, believed, you have to understand what was going on at the time. They were living in the peak of the Industrial Revolution. The cities that housed this revolution were overflowing with factories and people. People who were once country folk decided to come out to the cities in search for a better life. These “working class” people …

…class discontent. DeTocquiville on the other hand was too nadve about it. He saw the social classes as coming together and being equal, I don’t know how or where he saw this, but he did. It must’ve been the fresh American air he was breathing when he was here studying the classes. The bottom line is that as long as money and wealth is the number one priority, true equality will never be.
