Marx is known for his views that private property should not exist. By private property, he means "private property, as the antithesis to social, collective property, exists only where the means of labour and the external conditions of labour belong to private individuals" (297-298). While reading this line, it reminded me of a poster I've seen. I was trying to find a picture of it but couldn't :( The poster is something about success leading to a good life with the background being a nice, big house on a large land of property with a long driveway that connects to an additional garage with about five really nice cars. If we followed Marx's way, this poster would not create motivation for anyone since, even with the additional work required to achieve that kind of success, they would just continue having equal things as everyone else.
