Marx's analysis led him to adopt a position that came to be known as communism, which declared that the only way to end social exploitation was to abolish private property.
Key point in Marx's analysis was that the bourgeoisie exploited the proletariat because competition demanded it; if a factory owner chose to treat his workers more generously, then he would have to charge more for his goods and his competitors would drive him out of business.
In The Communist Manifesto,Marx and his collaborator Friedrich Engels argued that "all history is the history of class struggle." and later in the much larger Capital, Marx argued that a human being's relationship to the means of production gave him a social identity. In the industrial age of the nineteenth century, Marx argued, only two classes existed: the bourgeoisie, who controlled the means of production; and the proletariat, who sold their labor for wages.
Was called utopian socialism for the way in which they envisioned, and sometimes tried to set up, ideal communities (or utopias) where work and its fruit were shared equitably.
Sought to reorder society in ways that would end or minimize competition, foster cooperation, and allow the working classes to share in the wealth being produced by industrialization.
Emphasized the collective over the individual and challenged the liberal's notion that competition was natural.
