ABSTRACT
The partial conservation of property seemed to Karl Marx a strange way to produce socialism. Marx wants to justify communism against the defenses of the triad: nation, family, and property. This was the great concern of the socialists, who generally extracted themselves from the embarrassment with subtle rather than convincing arguments. In 1847 Marx had projected the iron law of wages into the future, according to each the satisfaction of his needs regulated according to production. The international union of workers is the new idea of fatherland that the proletariat brings to the world." The revolution is conceived as produced by intellectuals desirous to conquer political power and impose legal rules suitable to their particular mode of exploiting the labor of the proletariat. The social revolution will thus be produced for the benefit of functionaries. Marx asserted that communism would not destroy property acquired through labor, since modern industrial development had already demolished it.
