Shouldn't everyone have their own private golf course? by Derek Linzy

 Who are we to judge to judge intelligence?

Rooted in the foundation of Marxist views, our society has always had a struggle with distinguishing the differences between hard work versus privilege. How do those who are "privalge" decide on what the value of hard work is and what isn't? How can one social class beat down upon the one that allows its comforts to exist? Who is in charge of handing out privilege and working class cards? how does one obtain these different cards and is one truly more valuable than the other, especially in a base structure that requires both classes to exist in order for society to function? 

One example from the movie "Falling down" Michael Douglas's character confronts a couple of golfers on a golf course and questions why they should have access to so many valuable resources that others could truly benefit from it more than they could. This very basis establishes the use of their priveilage and decision to hoard valuable resources from the working class without any true justification.

Although his methods are not ethically or morally sound, the correlation between Marxism in reference to the "ruling vs. working" class is very evident in this scene. The real question that is being question is what is being done to resolve these type of matters on a daily basis? what are ways the society and leaders can help to minimize the gap between privilege and poverty while still allowing everyone to function and benefit from resources in our society.

Perhaps one of pop music biggest advocates for the working class is Billy Joel. His music seems to shine a spotlight on how Marxist views are ever present in our society and even points out those who allow everyone not to benefit from the very society they create to allow others to prosper.
