I didn't read it, but in general, this is how every Marx theory works: (I can't remember the names of the groups, so bear with me) at the top are the business owners, and at the bottom are the workers. His whole idea is that the business owners exploit the workers and use every establishment (be it religion, media, whatever) to make them believe that they are supposed to conform. The workers have hope that they will become the business owners, but it rarely, if ever, happens. The workers become very passive and are like sheep, being led around by what they are told from the varying establishments. The ideals in his social conflict theories generally follow this pattern. Look for something
along these lines in the article.

spectre,
You might be right, but I believe that the ideas behind his thread is from Marx's book,
Communist Manifesto. I think his question might come from
Das Capital, his book dealing with economics. I have never read
Das Capital , but I have read
Communist Manifesto.
