Modern Times and Marx

The critical theory of Marx, which he developed with a collective production focus and which divides the society based on dialectical materialism into two parts proletariat and bourgeois, is a reaction to the problems caused by capitalism. At the heart of the ideology lies a criticism of the ruthlessness of labor exploitation in the economy and the strengthening of the profit rate to strengthen the bosses, based on class conflict. The fact that the proletarians work with low wages and in difficult working conditions with busy working hours increases production, but for the workers, an increase in production or a high rate of profit means nothing because the working class does not get a share from the product it produces. And when this is the case, the working class earns less and is exposed to a poorer life, despite their labor. As in the movie "Modern Times", bosses live a much better quality of life, for example, when the boss has a lot of variety and quality food at his lunch, the working class's food is not like that, there is less variety and there is no room for pleasure, they just have to feed their stomachs. Marx opposed this capitalist system in which bosses are stronger and workers who work for wages are poorer.
