Marx Versus Nietzsche: Which Leads to Utopia?

Throughout history, mankind has been faced with the problem that this is world is not right. They have seen it through various different viewpoints and have had different ways of dealing with it. Some acted to change the world according to their own worldview and in so doing created wars. Others then reacted by trying to stop the wars and have peace. However, they would inevitably lose and another war would start. Then people would ask why the wars are happening in the first place. Some would say sin, while others would say it is the natural order. There are two classes: the weak and the strong. The weak would dislike their position and overthrow the powerful, while the powerful would simply test themselves against each other. Thus there would always be a cycle of fighting and someone trying to be the strongest and baddest and so on. This is what Nietzsche believed, and thus he wrote as a reaction to it. He claimed that it is all natural and that the weak created morality in order to make themselves strong. Thus with morality we had purposes for more wars and worse wars. All of human history has been and always would be a cycle until the world ended. The only way to stop this cycle was for the strong to realize they are being held down by the stupid chains of morality and break free and return to the old static way of the weak staying weak and the strong staying strong. In this way things would be right and good according to Nietzsche. (265) This morality system contributed to the creation of Capitalism, which Nietzsche despised because of its moral underpinnings. He was not the only one, either. Marx disliked Capitalism as well, but for different reasons. He disliked Capitalism because of the way it worked economically. He thought that a utopia would be formed not by two classes but by no classes. He believed that after Capitalism would come a society in which all of humanity would be united in the realization that we can work together to live. In this society all would have their job according to their strengths and would help each other according to their needs. His philosophy was very different from Nietzsche's but they both tackled the same problem: the world is not right, so what do we do about it?
