Marx and Capitalism

Capitalism is defined as "an economic and political system in which a country's trade and industry are controlled by private owners for profit, rather than by the state." Karl Marx, a widely known German philosopher, criticizes the idea of capitalism due to his prominent belief that it is basically a social, economic relationship between people and not based on the needs, good, nor political conduciveness of all people of a society. Capitalism happens to be the society in which we live today which, according to Marx, will be followed by the existence of a communism society to his delight. Marx feels that the class struggle of capitalism becomes violent for three reasons: society is separated into only two classes, the bourgeoisie and the proletariat, the mode of the distribution of goods does not correspond to the contributions of each class, and the conditions of the workers will only get worse and poorer as the wealthy get richer and fewer in number. Marx would rather prefer a revolutionary take over resulting in communism. Communism is a political theory advocating class war and leading to a society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs. Though capitalism has its flaws, it is greatly favored over communism.  Personally, I would prefer capitalism over communism as well because there is room for advancement if you are creative and work hard enough to overcome the barriers, struggles, and feuds presented by it. Communism seems to be very cut and dry and doesn't allow one to have much surplus for the people who'd live in such a society. I understand the concept of Marx's thinking and idea of material order; however, I disagree because there would be no room for growth nor advancement in my opinion.
