SummaryKarl Marx began his work as a social theorist contemplating the various riddles of modernity. He was able to unveil and bring light to ideas, as well as concepts that allowed and encouraged the citizens of the late nineteenth century to ration the contradictions hidden in the social worlds. Although a theory is always “drawn from” the experience itself, Marx was able to sympathize with the working class, therefore creating his own theory of estrangement. He correlates his theory of estrangement with the capitalistic movement that was developed in the European Diaspora; later moving west. He shows how the capitalistic structure is salient and can endure revolutions to maintain its goal in creating surplus value. Through his riddles, he assesses the separation between the bourgeoisie, the proletariat, and the hierarchy of industry.
