Reflections on Marxist Communism.

In my opinion, Marxism was correct upto a certain point. For example, it is argued in Marxism, that the bourgeois class is the cause of exploitation of the proletariat. If the ultimate tenet of communism is followed, which is "From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs", then does not the existence of the bourgeois class emerge, even long after the establishment of the emancipation of the communist ideal? Perhaps. The reason why Communism did not see the light of day, is because the accumulation of possessions is incidental, and the loss of the accumulation of possessions is also incidental. Are not the proletariat bourgeois in their outlook, when they look at their wants, in terms of their needs? The material manufactured and obtained from the Earth, belong to no one, before the beginning of it's utility. But do not even the proletariat come to call the material possessions their own? How can the proletariat say that they possess no material possessions? Perhaps, in the past, the bourgeois did exploit the masses, but the bourgeois themselves make the lot of the exploited masses better, by the exercise of their own conscience. Living in a society has put certain curbs on the actions and interactions of the individual towards society. Perhaps, even when they do not willingly want to, the individuals put limitations on themselves, on the matter of their interaction with society. It becomes difficult to justify existence of the bourgeois among themselves, as how they do so with the proletariat. This explains the change for the better in society. Human beings want to improve on the difficulties that they face, hence, that are always looking for the immediate and future solution. Society in my opinion, cannot be exclusive, or inclusive. It exists in the interaction of the different people who make up society. A person may choose to live alone, or he may choose to interact with others in the immediate society. When a person perceives another person, the person always chooses to interact with the other person, as he does with his environment. The human being believes in the benign sentiment, in his interaction with other humans, and disbelieves the malignant sentiment.
