Customary Class Conflicts: Elimination or Acceptance?

Karl Marx thought that class conflict is inevitable in a capitalist society; capitalists strive to protect capitalism and to oppress the lower classes for maximum profit and workers struggle to abolish capitalism due to the fact that they are manipulated against their own best interests. Before reading the article on Karl Marx, I had never quite looked at capitalists and workers in this way. I definitely agree that conflict is inevitable due to stark differences in needs between both classes. Capitalists are so hungry for profit that they do not tend to notice those whom they are taking advantage of. And workers are busy despising capitalists for treating them like machines. This gap just continues to widen until a happy medium is no longer feasible. Unhappiness, as is apparent in capitalism, is the predecessor for conflict.
The World State's view of class in Brave New World is directly correlated to Karl Marx's point of view. In Brave New World, people are conditioned before birth to belong to a certain class level in society, and they are conditioned to genuinely appreciate their role. By subjecting "people" early on to certain stresses that will need to be tolerated later on in life, they become much more comfortable and successful under these stresses. In addition, people in each class must listen to recordings while they sleep that tell them what to believe and what to feel. This conditioning is all carried out in order to prevent the class conflict that would inevitably occur if people were unhappy with their "ranking."
