Marx and Althusser both have similar idea that, there should be certain elements that control our society. However, Marx idea is to simple and too vague in today's society. Although his golden rule still applies which is "who has gold rules". The need for money is therefore the true need produced by the economic system, and it is the only need which the latter produces. The quantity of money becomes to an ever greater degree its sole effective quality. Just as it reduces everything to its abstract form, so it reduces itself in the course of its own movement to quantitative being. Excess andintemperance come to be its true norm-Karl Marx. And later on Althusser gives more detail into how society works. He comes up with RSA (Repressive State Apparatus), and ISA (Ideology State Apparatus). He says that, there are certain force is needed to keep the society in order. Such as government, administration, army,police, courts, and etc in RSA. Also, in ISA there are religion,education,family, legal, political. union, media, and culture. The characteristic of RSA are singular,public, and violence, and for ISA are private, plural, and ideology. I agree with some of his theory that everyone can't and shouldn't get because society needs variety of people. If everyone gets high education, there are no one to do lower education jobs.
