Dealing with species being, Marx "adopted species as an object", in which you become one when you can imitate the idea. To Marx, men are "universal" and "free", aesthetic beings who can produce and evaluate. (Marx 442). However, we must first prepare the inorganic nature we are able to produce. "...the more universal man is compared with an animal, the more universal is the sphere of inorganic nature on which he lives...man lives on nature, means that nature is his body."(Marx 443). Humans must prepare the "spiritual inorganic nature, spiritual nourishment" to make it digestible for our systems. (Marx 442). Therefore, we take ourselves as objects of our activity and work to form our species. Humans also r

According to Locke, we should execute the natural law by the state of war. We should take criminal action as a state of war and exercise the right to punish another man if we are harmed. However, we only get the right to punish others if they deny us the right to live by the natural law or threaten our safety because in Locke, human safety is above all the most important. But as long as we treat others fairly, we are forced to treat others like we expect to be treated and to not harm others. Locke says " ...I should have the right to destroy that which threatens me with destruction: for, by the fundamental law of nature, man being preserved as much as possible, when all cannot be preserved, the safety of the innocent is to be preferred..."(Locke 248). Punishments for criminal acts include penalties of death, compensation, and deterrence. For Locke, revenge is the natural law that reestablishes natural order.

For Locke, the Earth is given to all that are common. Then, private property is assessed individually. Men have a property in their person, their labor, and their goods. Locke claims "Every person has a property in his own person...the labour of his body, and the work of his hands, we may say, are properly his." (Locke 251). Property in ourselves comes from the liberty we receive from God when he created us. Similar to Marx's theory of alienation, we are separate from ourself to "own" ourself. We get our property in labor because we add our "self" to objects that we labor. So all the objects we labor can become our private property and part of our self. Because that person labored it personally, no one can take it away. Marx says "Whatsoever then he removes out of the state that nature hath provided, and left it in, he hath mixed his labour with, and joined to it something that is his own, and thereby makes it his property." (Locke 251). In Marx's theory, few people (mostly capitalists) own property and the majority sells the labor for wages. However, Locke's theory claims that someone else accumulates the property for your labor.

However, to Marx, one is individual only if they succeed in overthrowing capitalism. But that theory is impossible in today's world because we live in a capitalist society and they have an influence on everything we do. They also put limits on what we can and cannot do when laws are enforced. Domination and exploitation are therefore inevitable, making it impossible to overthrow the capitalist. In Marx's theory, the impossibility of overthrowing the capitalist is the whole point behind the basis of his theory. Therefore, o
