Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Karl Marx believed that modernity was characterized by the rise of the capitalist economic system, which he saw as oppressive to the working class. He argued that this economic system would lead to increasing class conflict and ultimately a revolution of the proletariat against the bourgeoisie. While Marx also addressed other aspects of modernity (such as the loss of traditional community), his focus on the economic system and class struggle is central to his understanding of modernity.
