If Marx believed in this mode of thought, I surely would not want to be a part of it. If outside forces manipulate its inferior pawns in such a way that the pawns become something they choose not to be, then this is wrong. In life today, there are those who control others so much that the inferior person inevitably will become someone or something the dominant one desires.

Marx appeared to find it necessary for the balance of power to be unequal in order for a society to thrive.
