Why did Marx think that capitalism would “dig its own grave”?
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: Marx thought that capitalists in the higher social classes would produce their own "grave-diggers" as the insatiable individual capitalist desire for greater profits will ultimately create a system in which very few people reap the greatest wealth at the expense of the majority's suffering. When the suffering majority becomes large enough and angered enough with the unequal spread of wealth/power, they will rise up and there will be a shift in the power so that the working class will ultimately be in control.
