Moral Man and Immoral Society - Reinhold Niebuhr - Chapter 6

Chapter 6 - Attitude of the Proletarian Class

Niebuhr has so much to say about the attitude of the proletaria. I will try to summarize.
Marxian socialism leaves a type of moral cynicism. And force is required too overcome ideologies. (Trotsky) 

Its true that both employers AND employees have an interest to ensure that a business succeeds, but it is most definitely NOT the SAME interest.

If anyone is best able to describe the social ideal it is the proletarian class who have experienced the bankruptcy of the old social order.

Niebuhr mandate that equality is the foundation of justice is closely matched by "from each according to his ability, to each according to his needs. "  and "special privileges make men dishonest"

Disproportion of the means of production = disproportion of power = inequality
= the real root of injustice.

The question is, can power be destroyed completely without losing what is good and creating new injustices.
