Classical Classroom 1

“Classical Classroom 1” (written by Tetsuzo Fuwa/2013/Shinnihon shuppansha)

A book that explains Marx's Capital Theory.

Marx spent his entire life writing Das Kapital, but his reward was less than the cost of the cigarettes he smoked while writing it.

Marx says. "Capital continues to run because of competition, even though it knows that it is doomed. Capital has no regard for the health or longevity of its workers. Therefore, society must impose compulsion on capital."

This book includes a chronology of Marx's life and a comparison table between Japan and Europe.
When talking about Marx, it is important to understand the flow of thought throughout his long life. It is also important to look at world history from a scientific perspective.

The author points out the problem that Japan's National Foundation Day is established based on imaginary myths.
The author also points out that one of the problems with Japanese labor unions is that the majority of Japanese labor unions are company labor unions, rather than industry-specific labor unions.

The Russian Revolution had many effects on the world. The International Labor Organization (ILO) was established, and countries with democratic constitutions emerged.
However, revolutions in other countries, even with slogans such as ''Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity,'' ended up being nothing more than a change of forces within capitalism.

Why did communist parties around the world disappear or become smaller?
Communist parties around the world (excluding the Japanese Communist Party) had no theory other than ''Marxism-Leninism (not Marxism)'' advocated by the Soviet Union, so with the collapse of the Soviet Union, they lost their theories.
