Question

Durai Subbiah · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  Karl Marx believed in the idea that capitalist societies would ultimately experience a conflict between the capitalists who owned the means of production and the workers who sold their labor to these capitalists. This conflict was known as the class struggle, and Marx believed it would be the driving force behind societal change towards a socialist or communist system. Therefore, option D is the best choice as it aligns with Marx's core belief. Option A is incorrect as Marx believed that control of the means of production (ownership of capital) was crucial for creating an equitable society. Option B is incorrect as Marx argued that business owners made profits by exploiting workers and paying them less than their labor was worth. Option C is partly correct as Marx believed that control of the labor supply was necessary for control of society, but it was not the only factor influencing societal dominance.
