Marxist: Capitalist and worker

What make people in the society different?  I think the thing that makes people different is money which is the most important variable.  The society is inequality between the capitalists and working class.  Social classes are economic arrangement of groups in society.  Marx and Engels noted that, “On the ‘material conditions of life’ and the economic structure of society,’ Marx and Engels are sharp and compelling; on the subject of the creative and critical consciousness of persons and cultures, they falter” (650).  People are separate into two classes which are capitalists and working class.  They are placed in one of these class based on their wealth.  The gap between the capitalists and working class would just keep getting bigger and bigger.  The capitalists would be running the country, so they just getting richer and richer while the working class people keep getting poorer.  The working class people have no opportunity of getting richer because they all work for the rich capitalists.  Work is scary, wage is low, and the worker is resented, resisted, and repressed by the capitalists.  Marxist represents ideology of class society.  People each class relates to each other by reproduction.  Labor is the source of value.  The working class people must sell their labor in order to survive with exchanging of money.  Moreover, the capitalists are dependent on working class for production.  For the capitalists, it they are wealthy, they will more than likely have more power, and if you are very wealthy, you will have even more power.
