Greed

"The only wheels which political economy puts in motion are greed and the war of the greedy, competition" (59).
I believe that this is the driving factor behind many if not all of Marx's policies. He tries to alleviate any competition among individuals by equalling out every persons status. If everyone receives the same, then people won't be motivated by their greedy desires to advance beyond others. In policy, Marx's visions and communism eliminate any type of competition in the economy.
