Question

select all the correct answers. according to marxist theory, which three conditions would lead a capitalist society to evolve into a communist society? the working class rises up and overthrows the wealthy upper class. a free - market economy pushes producers to provide high - quality goods at lower prices. the government establishes programs to provide free education for all citizens. unequal distribution of income causes tension between social classes. businesses compete to maximize profits so that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

Explanation:

1. The working class rises up and overthrows the wealthy upper class: Marxist theory posits that class struggle (between proletariat and bourgeoisie) leads to the proletariat's revolution to overthrow the bourgeoisie, a key step toward communism.
2. Unequal distribution of income causes tension between social classes: Marx emphasized class conflict from unequal wealth distribution (bourgeoisie exploit proletariat), driving the need for a classless society.
3. Businesses compete to maximize profits so that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer: Capitalism's profit - maximization and exploitation (surplus value) increase class inequality, creating conditions for proletarian revolution and transition to communism.

The option "A free - market economy pushes producers to provide high - quality goods at lower prices" is a capitalist free - market ideal, not a Marxist condition for communism. "The government establishes programs to provide free education for all citizens" is more of a social welfare measure, not a core Marxist condition for the transition to communism.

Answer:

• The working class rises up and overthrows the wealthy upper class.
• Unequal distribution of income causes tension between social classes.
• Businesses compete to maximize profits so that the rich get richer and the poor get poorer.
