The George Floyd Incidence and the Social Change Theory of Karl Marx Ryan Weiland

The incidence between George Floyd and Derek Chauvin, and the whole aftermath of it have changed the American society as well as many other societies in the world. This socio-political change occurred according to the philosophical postulations of Karl Marx, and gives credibility to it. Marx in the 19th century had given a theory of social change, in which he exposed the nature of a social change, and gave some conditions for a social change to occur. Marx's procedure for social change and the conditions for a social change to occur can be seen clearly highlighted in the George Floyd incidence. This book X-rays how the George Floyd incidence followed the social change theory of Karl Marx, and thus, how the former lends credence to the latter. This book exposes the social change theory of Karl Marx, gives account of the encounter between George Floyd and Derek Chauvin, describing the social milieu of their encounter, looks at the aftermath of the murder of Floyd, and analyses the Floyd incidence with the 'binoculars' of Karl Marx postulations. It also brings to fore, what more it is that needs to be done, for the enthronement of peace, equal rights and justice.
