Marx and Nietzsche: Slave/Proletariat and Master/Bourgeoisie.
The world has problems, it always has. People all over the world are being exploited, are working, and are taking advantage of the production of others. This is the way it has always been, regardless of the form of the economy or political system. Freidrich Nietzsche observed that the world has had two dominant self concepts and systems of morality - that of the slave who views the world in terms of good and evil, and that of the master who views the world in terms of good and bad. Marx perceived the world as being divided not by morality, but by social structures and economic differentiating points that are as arbitrary as the pattern of stars in the sky. It is the purpose of this paper to examine the differences between Marx and Nietzsche in terms of the polarization of society.
