Abstract
From the Greek philosopher Plato to Robert Owen and the Saint-Simonians communism was completely a Utopian theory. It was Marx who discovered from the course of history that the coming of a communist society was a necessary consequence of developments within the capitalist system itself. The theories of Marx may be generalized in three parts: historical materialism, the concentration of capital, and the class struggle. Marx prided himself on using the scientific method and on holding an objective attitude in laying out accurately the laws of history, the development of capitalism, and the final transition to a communist society. Therefore, Marx refused to make any subjective judgments on whether history, determined as it was by material conditions, was good or bad, or whether the capitalist system or communist society was good or bad.
