What is Marx’s solution to class inequality? Why has this not yet occurred in the United States?

Question

Please provide the best answer for the statement.

Answer 1

1. Marx believes that workers need to overcome their false consciousness, or lack of
understanding of their collective position in society, in order to gain class consciousness,
or an understanding of their position as part of a larger social class in opposition to the
capitalist class. This will unite workers to rebel and overthrow the capitalist system.
2. While there is vast class inequality in the United States, capitalism has changed
significantly since Marx’s time.
3. There are more classes now than the proletariat and the bourgeoisie, and with the middle
class, most people do have a higher standard of living today than when Marx was writing.
4. There have been many gains in worker protections, including the implementation of a
minimum wage, the 40-hour workweek, and laws against child labor.
5. Control of the means of production is more complicated today, as one cannot point to one
individual who holds the power.
