Three Theories of Justice: Marxism

This video is a very basic introduction and (to be honest) an overly simplified version of Marxism as a theory of justice for for my Introduction to Philosophy, Current Issues in Philosophy, and Bioethics course.

Marx initially made observations about labor use and profitability while looking specifically at slavery, where wages were not paid at all, rather than in a capitalist system where trades men and other itinerant laborers were being paid piece rates etc. Certainly the industrial revolution tipped most ideas about the value of labor on its head as many people lost their incomes to machinery.

that was really helpful, thank you :D

At 1:39 on the first slide, I am thinking, this strategy sounds just like what happen to labor in America. Which means it is rife for the Marxist picking if they do not reform their outdated social capitalist system.

Sorry, but I don't see any discussion of a Marxist concept of justice in your video. Your discussion of differential impact of income or wealth of youth is not something specific to Marxism, in fact is more of a problem in mixed capitalist economies.
