Marxists refuse to accept the concept of natural equality.
- Most of the social, economic and political inequalities existing in human relations today are historically created. They are therefore not natural.
- Since they are humanly created, they can be solved by human efforts.
- The origin of this inequality comes from the division between mental and physical efforts and from the division between primary producers and the owners of production.
- This division of labor led to the formation of two important classes. One class exploited the other.
- Therefore for the Marxists, the problem of the abolition of inequality is primarily the problem of the abolition of class dominance, exploitation and class distinction.
- Only in a society where there is no class distinction, can there be equality.
- The social control theory of such a society will be not “Each person according to his ability, but each person according to his needs.”
