capitalism

Marx's hatred of capitalism seems to spawn from what he coins the "exploitation of the proletariat". I believe that Marx exagerates the exchange between capitalist and proletariat in an attempt to sway the reader into believing the "real truth". Page 215 states his opposition towards capitalism, but this is a point that I would strongly contest. Profit and accumulations of wealth seem to be the underlying entities that Marx opposes. I, unlike Marx, do not see wealth as a negative quality. This does not mean that the exploitation of the lower class is wrong, however the proletariat is not always exploited in order to gain wealth.
